This list of fictional frogs and toads is subsidiary to the list of fictional animals. It is restricted solely to notable frog and toad characters from notable works of fiction. Characters that appear in multiple media will have separate listings for each separate appearance, while instances in which a character has appeared in several separate works in a single medium, only the earliest will be recorded here.

Name Show/Film Notes
Ed Bighead Rocko's Modern Life Ed Bighead is an employee at a large corporation. He is cruel, petty, bossy, and has a terrible temper; in fact, the only people that he fears are his wife, Bev and his boss, Mr. Dupette. He particularly dislikes Rocko and his friends, Heffer Wolfe and Filburt. He usually yells at anyone he sees, and grumbles bitterly under his breath at any situation he finds even slightly troubling.
Hypnotoad Futurama A large toad with pulsating, multicolored eyes, which emits a loud, ominous buzzing noise. It has the power to hypnotize almost any living thing at will, even mass numbers of creatures. The Hypnotoad first appeared in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", in which it hypnotized a flock of sheep to herd themselves into a pen and close the door behind them, the panel of judges to win the pet show and then the audience of the pet show to force their approval of that victory. It later acquired its own television show, Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, in which it hypnotizes the audience. The Futurama: Bender's Big Score DVD includes a full 22-minute episode.[1][2][3]
Jason Funderberker Over The Garden Wall Jason Funderberker (aka Kitty, Wert, Wert Jr, George Washington, Mr. President, Benjamin Franklin, Dr. Cucumber, Greg Jr, Skipper, and Ronald) is Greg's pet frog throughout Over The Garden Wall. Greg continually renames the frog throughout the series, before eventually settling on Jason Funderberker in the final episode.

King Harold Shrek 2 & Shrek the Third Harold is a frog who was turned into a human by the Fairy Godmother's magic, meaning he could live out his life as king of Far Far Away. Harold is a human for the majority of the second Shrek film, until the end where the Fairy Godmother is vaporized, meaning he is returned to his natural state of being a frog. Harold dies near the beginning of Shrek the Third, not before informing Shrek of another possible heir to the throne, Arthur Pendragon.
