Frog (Glenn) is a playable character in Squaresoft's Chrono Trigger.
Frog has one of the more enigmatic backstories in the game. He was originally a young knight named Glenn who was a good friend of the hero Cyrus of Guardia. As the story goes, Magus killed Cyrus and turned Glenn into a frog on advice from Ozzie. Ashamed of his new form, Glenn took on the name Frog and lived the life of a hermit in the forest. During Chrono Trigger, Frog must acquire the fixed Masamune and the Hero's Medal to muster up the strength to confront Magus. He joins Crono and goes into Magus's castle, eventually defeating him at the very end. Frog confronts Magus again after the Ocean Palace disaster. If you choose to fight and defeat him, Frog will change back into Glenn at the end of the game. If you choose to not fight him, Magus will join the party, but Frog will remain cursed.
In one of the side quests near the end of the game, Frog has to go into the haunted grave of Cyrus to make peace with his spirit. In doing so, the Masamune powers up and turns into Frog's most powerful weapon.
There is a character named Glenn in Chrono Cross, but he has not been revealed to be related to Frog in any way except he bears his namesake as a famous hero.
