Appearance Features
The Rainshoe Frog is a small, round-bodied frog species, with adults measuring about fifteen centimeters in length. They have emerald green or lake-blue skin, scattered with silver-white spots resembling raindrops.
Most distinctive are their broad feet. The edges of their feet feature soft, transparent webbing, resembling a pair of tiny rain boots, hence the name Rainshoe Frog.
When it rains, the Rainshoe Frog's skin takes on a faint sheen, looking like a gemstone freshly washed by rain.
Habitat
Rainshoe Frogs primarily inhabit wetlands, puddles, rainforests, and areas around lakes.
They particularly favor regions with frequent rainfall, often appearing under gathering storm clouds.
Dietary Habits
Rainshoe Frogs feed on small insects, aquatic plants, and floating seeds.
They are mostly active on rainy days, especially foraging near small ponds formed by accumulated water.
Special Abilities
Rainshoe Frogs can sense the arrival of rain.
It is said that before heavy rain arrives, they gather in open areas to croak in advance.
Many forest residents judge weather changes by the calls of Rainshoe Frogs, earning them the nickname "Rainy Day Forecasters".
Legend Records
An ancient legend circulates in the forest.
It is said that every falling raindrop has been gently caught by a Rainshoe Frog.
Therefore, when people see Rainshoe Frogs on rainy days, they often believe the rain will bring good luck and a bountiful harvest.
Fox Observation Journal
This afternoon, the little boy and I took a walk in the forest.
The sky gradually became covered by gray clouds.
The air also grew somewhat humid.
Suddenly, the little boy squatted down.
"Fox, this frog has such big feet."
I followed his gaze.
A Rainshoe Frog was sitting beside a puddle.
Its broad feet were almost as eye-catching as its body.
Before long.
More Rainshoe Frogs hopped out from the grass.
They formed a circle.
Emitting intermittent croaks.
And in the next moment.
The first raindrop fell.

Short Story｜The First Summer Rain
That day.
The sky was stiflingly hot with no breeze.
The little boy and the fox sat under a tree to rest.
Distant frog croaks could be heard.
The sounds grew livelier.
The little boy followed the sound.
He found over a dozen Rainshoe Frogs gathered in the center of the grass.
They bounced around forming a large circle.
It looked as if they were holding some special event.
The little boy couldn't help but laugh.
Just then.
A low rumble of thunder came from the sky.
Then.
A raindrop landed on his nose.
Followed by a second drop.
Then a third.
Soon after.
The entire forest was enveloped in a summer rain curtain.
The Rainshoe Frogs happily jumped into the puddles.
Splashing one small water flower after another.
The little boy also spread his arms.
Spinning happily in the rain.
While the fox stood to the side.
Watching him laugh endlessly with the Rainshoe Frogs.
