View source for Frog like humanoid thing with a birthday

This entity appears very briefly in {{WA}}.

It  swims up to the boat containing [[Magrat Garlick]], [[Nanny Ogg]], [[Granny Weatherwax]] and some [[Dwarf Bread]], and announces, apropos of nothing, that today is its birthday. For its pains, it gets clobbered on the fingers with an oar by Granny Weatherwax, who watches it recede into the distance and listens to its swearing complaints dwindle to nothing. 

The two older witches agree this was clearly a "troublemaker", and Magrat ponders on what it wanted.

Were it not for the threat of invoking the attention of one of the most potent and dread forces operating anywhere in any fantasy fiction universe (touches iron, and nervously whispers ''The Lawyers of the Estate of J.R.R. Tolkien''. Notes sword is not glowing blue: it is safe to continue) the casual reader might wonder if this is {{wp|Gollum|Gollum}}, from ''{{wp|The_Lord_of_the_Rings|The Lord of the Rings}}'', paying a passing visit to the Discworld. However, this is NOT a visit or a cameo role from a character licenced exclusively to New Line Cinema and the Estate of J.R.R. Tolkien, and anyone mistaking this random character for '''Gollum(TM)''' is in fact seriously mistaken. Honestly. Just think of this character as ''the Frog-Like Humanoid Thing with a Birthday''. It will be safer, cheaper and less litigious this way.
