The '''Frog Sage''', originally known as '''Frogfucius''' (translated as "'''Frog Hermit'''" on one occasion),<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 38|page=70}}</ref> is a sagacious [[frog]] who lives at [[Tadpole Pond]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. He is also [[Mallow]]'s adoptive grandfather. During a rainstorm, while the Frog Sage was enjoying a snack of crickets, a small basket floated into Tadpole Pond. In the basket, the Frog Sage found Mallow as a baby (when he was just a little ball of fluff). Taking him in, the Frog Sage raised Mallow as a [[tadpole]] and as his grandson. His original name is a portmanteau of "frog" and "{{wp|Confucius}}," a famous Chinese philosopher. | The '''Frog Sage''', originally known as '''Frogfucius''' (translated as "'''Frog Hermit'''" on one occasion),<ref>{{cite| title = ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 38 | page = 70 }}</ref> is a sagacious [[frog]] who lives at [[Tadpole Pond]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]].

The Frog Sage is extremely wise, and people travel from all over the world to Tadpole Pond just to ask for his advice.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=31}}</ref> Since the waterways of the world bring news to the pond, the Frog Sage is able to keep up with current events. He studies philosophy and likes to impart his wisdom to his tadpoles. In fact, the Frog Sage has [[Frogfucius' Student|a student]] who matures from a tadpole to a frog during the course of the game. The Frog Sage also appears to have the power to levitate; however, in reality, a [[Lakitu]] with a [[Fishin' Lakitu|fishing pole]] merely carries him through the air. Sometimes, this Lakitu accidentally almost drops the Frog Sage, ruining the illusion of levitation. | The Frog Sage is extremely wise, and people travel from all over the world to Tadpole Pond just to ask for his advice.<ref>{{cite| author = Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller | title = ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide | page = 31 }}</ref> Since the waterways of the world bring news to the pond, the Frog Sage is able to keep up with current events.
