Sceotrand the Magnificent, a powerful wizard who used to perform great feats and romance beautiful women and defeat powerful monsters with amazing magic!

He's an asshole. A real piece of work! (Highly inspired by Matoriv tbh I love a shitty old wizard) He's very good at what he does but also abrasive and selfish by default, he does not really respect anybody else's ability to support him in battle

So one of his many lady friends gets fed up with this sort of shit and curses him

He's a frog now!

Her intention was to lift the curse once he got over himself and asked for help and apologized, so like, a week, right?

It's been ten years

He's out there in the woods trying to break this frog curse solo and has absolutely ruined his magical capacity doing so and has made the curse worse by constantly meddling with it when all he had to do originally was get over his ego for like five minutes

Killer croaker | Dragon Quest Wiki | Fandomimagine this thing but instead of a demon face its got a grumpy old man

fantastic

Maybe associating with a group of earnest young people doing their best could inspire him to be a better person and untangle the chaos in his mind that has been reflected in both his body and his magic

This is so Dragon Quest it hurts

Beautiful
