Scientific Name: Rana scintilla (unconfirmed)
Common Name: Flickerfrogs
Classification: Amphibian Fauna — Exotic Realm Species

Description:
Flickerfrogs are small, translucent amphibians that emit a faint pulsing glow synchronized with nearby speech or internal thoughts. Their skin shimmers softly, reflecting ambient light in gentle waves, and their presence often goes unnoticed unless observed in still silence.

Known Effects on Humans:
Flickerfrogs are believed to act as bio-indicators of truthfulness and emotional resonance.
Their pulses intensify around lies, secrets, or suppressed emotions, making them valuable in ritual or judicial contexts within the Pale Court.
Contact or prolonged exposure can heighten self-awareness, causing individuals to confront uncomfortable truths or internal conflicts.
In human environments, their sudden presence often precedes revelations or confessions.

Behavioral Notes:
They inhabit marshy or damp areas and tend to congregate near sources of concentrated emotional energy.
Flickerfrogs vanish instantly if their true names are spoken aloud, rendering their existence ephemeral and elusive.
They are often used symbolically in Pale Country lore as guardians of silence and honesty.

Warnings / Dangers:
Handling Flickerfrogs without ritual caution can induce psychological distress or acute anxiety.
Speaking their true names aloud causes their immediate disappearance and may break protective silences, leading to unforeseen consequences.
Their presence in mortal spaces may disrupt social harmony by exposing hidden truths too abruptly.
Recommended avoidance by those unprepared for intense emotional confrontations.
