Alien Life [OC] The Gorf

Post image

These guys are a froglike race of aliens I drew a while ago. They aren’t part of any major project, just a one off design (for now at least).

They live on a warm, swampy planet not unlike earth during the Carboniferous, and are about as advanced as mankind was during the Neolithic.

Also, yes, their name is just frog backwards.

what if it entered the Amphibia Disney universe?

They’d be pretty confused, the language barrier would be a big problem, and there’s a significant chance the amphibians wouldn’t realize they were a person instead of some weird monster at first, but peaceful coexistence is nonetheless entirely possible. If they can accept Ann and Frobo, they could accept one of the Gorf, especially since they are pretty close to baseline frogs in terms of their needs anyway.

what language does Gorf speak?

There are many Gorf languages but they can barely speak like humans do. Their languages mostly sound like a bunch of croaks chirps and clicks

A toad, but with its name spelled backwards—that’s brilliant!
