Template:Character Froggy (カエルくん Kaeru-kun?) is a fictional frog from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is the pet and best friend of Big the Cat.
History
Sonic Adventure
During the course of Sonic Adventure, Froggy swallows both a part of Chaos and a Chaos Emerald. Abducted by E-102 Gamma, Froggy was taken to the Egg Carrier as Doctor Eggman wanted the Emerald and Chaos piece inside him. Big pursued him, and recovered his friend. However, the Chaos Emerald and the part of Chaos he had swallowed were absorbed into Chaos, allowing it to become Chaos 6, but was eventually rescued by Big with the aid of Sonic. Big and Froggy then took the Tornado 2 back to Mystic Ruins.
Sonic Heroes
In Sonic Heroes, Froggy and Chocola, a Chao, were abducted. Big, Amy and Cream went to look for them under the impression that Sonic had taken them. During the adventure they instead figured out that Eggman had kidnapped Froggy and Chocola, and defeated him. However, it turned out that Metal Sonic had framed Eggman, and had kidnapped Froggy and the Chao in order to copy the residual data of Chaos. Froggy was not seen in the final scenes of the game, but it can be assumed that he and Big went back to Mystic Ruins.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood
Froggy appears in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood in Big's POW moves Froggy Rain and Froggy Poison. In an somewhat humorous optional mission, it is revealed that Froggy has a friend who is also a frog named Norton the Frog. Froggy hadn't seen Norton in a while and was concerned about him. In the process of trying to find Norton, the team comes across his other friends, Gally, Mr. Billywick, and Mrs. Stevens, who appear to have very active social lives, according to Big's dialogue.
Sonic Colors
In the Nintendo DS of Sonic Colors, Froggy ran off on his own once more and supposedly made his way to Aquarium Park in Dr. Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park. Hot on Froggy's trail, Big followed him to Aquarium Park, where he looked for him. There, Big met Sonic and Tails and got Sonic to look for Froggy, but without results. Sonic, however, suggested that Froggy could already have gone home by then.

Appearances in Other Media

Trivia
- An interesting suggestion is that Froggy originates from Frog Forest, a level in Sonic Heroes, which has giant frogs that can summon forth rain and bear a very strong resemblance to Froggy. If the player stands around in Frog Forest for some time as Team Rose, Big himself also presents this theory.
- Froggy is only one of four minor characters to have his own toy, the others being standard Chao, Cheese and Kiki.
- Froggy has had both orange stripes and dark green stripes on his body. It seems he has green stripes in art and orange stripes in-game.
- In Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Froggy is shown to posses Chaos' tail.
