The frog mascots are famous for carrying an army of mini inflatable frogs and giving passers-by dramatic salutes.

Well, here’s some good news for those wanting to meet the frog mascot — it has made its way to our shores.
If you’re lucky, you may spot one of such frog mascots frolicking around in your neighbourhood.
On Monday, multiple TikTok users shared their sightings of the frog mascot in Bugis and Paya Lebar.

In each video, the mascot engages with passers-by differently.
One, for example, started a mini dance battle with some who approached them.

One thing that seems to remain consistent in the mascot’s antics is the iconic salute.
This gesture is unique to them, as it involves them stomping their foot first before doing the salute.

These adorable interactions pleasantly surprised unsuspecting passers-by, who were each left smiling after their exchanges.
One mascot even saluted an Air Force regular who was about to book in, and a security guard on patrol, both of whom returned the salute with the same energy.

We imagine the battle would be 100% entertaining, given they’re both so active.
