✭✭✭Don't you KNOW this is a FANTASY GAME and YOU DON'T KNOW frogs could be LIZARDS IN ESO--
Yeah the devs said "close enough" because taxonomy isn't streamlined enough for the spaghetti.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨5 -
DP99✭✭✭✭✭Well, if Argonians are some kind of weird, reptile, amphibian, mammal hybrids, why not frogs?9 -

So... amphibians are the ones smart enough to put a winged insect on their heads so that if a player comes by, they will accidentally take the insect. Mirri will let them know how despicable they are.

✭✭✭✭✭It sucks that when I tried killing some of the bajillion Lizards around Blackwood, they didn't count. But a frog did??? A Lizard didn't count as a lizard, but a frog counted as a lizard. So funny.Grand Master Crafter, Beta baby who grew with the game. PC/NA. @Sheezabeast if you have crafting needs!10 -

✭Hackwings are considered birds here. There’s in-game argonian literature about it. I guess it just comes down to what the lore calls things and not our nomenclature.2 -

They're a type of cabbage.
Everything in Tamriel is actually a type of cabbage. They can't hide the truth any longer.Legends never die
They're written down in eternity
But you'll never see the price it costs
The scars collected all their lives
When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
Legends never die9 -

I could have sworn I got reptile credit for a Hackwing? Hmm.
(yeah, the categories for Endeavors are all messed up. I'd swear that some intern got told to tag things for them, and just did it without thinking hard. It doesn't help that we have things like separate Endeavors for "insect" and "chitinous", or such a seemingly-broad one as "Beasts". Which you'd think would include some of the sub-types, like Reptile.)6 -

✭✭✭✭✭Frogs don't count for the Kill Reptiles endeavor, but Death Hoppers do, hence it appears that Death Hoppers are not actually frogs no matter how much they resemble frogs.
I didn't try killing any tiny lizards, but killing tiny scorpions in Clockwork City counted for the Kill Replicants endeavor or whatever term they used. There might be a size requirement for some endeavors, but apparently not for that one.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

✭✭✭If it looks like a frog, and hops like a frog, and has a tongue like a frog, it's ...
a Death Hopper, which is a reptile, [snip]

[snip] Did you ever think that the frog in Nirn are reptiles by choice? Maybe all the frog choose to associate themselves as reptiles even though they are born amphibians. Who are you to judge?

✭✭✭✭✭Death Hoppers aren't like earth frogs, and the actual frogs in this game (1 hp critters) don't count for killing reptiles.Edited by spartaxoxo on October 10, 2021 2:39AM0 -

No Miri, nothing else works for Butterfly Wings in alchemy....
At least she isn't as obnoxious as Bastion when you hunt dear for food, though he does ping your rep with him for that, he just yells a lot.

Nirntrotter✭✭✭✭✭In ESO frogs are reptiles, beards and antlers preclude each other and being sad, angry or happy is a whole personality. I'd save my breath.1 -

They might be birds but they counted for me towards my reptiles!
At least the ones in Blackwood did - it's not consistent for different zones tho, like the kill humanoid one didn't count argonians in murkmire but liked those in Blackwood just finePS4 EU1 -

Goblins aren't humanoid?
