FROGS


The FROGS are an army of elite, all-female soldiers that are under Liquid Ocelot's direct command.

They are mostly armed with the FN P90. Among their super-human acrobatic and athletic abilities, which they share in common with the Arsenal Tengu, they also posses the ability to latch onto walls, permitting them the ability to gain any necessary leverage over their targets in urban areas where towering buildings are common. When they die, their bodies are immolated by a blue fire because their internal nanomachines combust. Unlike PMCs, FROG troopers cannot be knocked unconscious after a body search by hitting their crotch for obvious reasons.

The elite soldiers make their final appearance onboard Liquid's Arsenal Gear, Outer Haven. There are more of them in this area than in every other Act of the game combined as they meticulously search every nook and cranny of the ship, never breaking formation nor letting down their guard. Besides completely covering the deck of the ship, they also attack Snake just prior to Screaming Mantis's fight, and a special knife-only unit is held at bay by Raiden to allow Snake to get past them into the inner bowels of the ship. After Snake and Otacon destroyed the Patriot AIs, The FROGS suffered a severe mental breakdown. The survivors are later rescued by the Marines aboard the U.S.S. Missouri.
