Frog King

The "Frog King" is a narrative archetype in folklore studies referring to a tale in which a transformed suitor, typically a prince in amphibian form, enters into a contractual relationship with a human protagonist, thereby serving as a paradigmatic example of the "animal bridegroom" motif within the broader class of magical transformation tales.
