Sorry for necroing, but I just encountered that frog. Normally I come to Ethels hut from the otehr side and never encountered that badass froggo. Is there a story to it? Is it cursed by Ethel?
I saved before talking to the frog, messed up animal handling and Astarion killed it with backstab. After that he turned hostile and attacked the party. I'm ok with killing Astarion, but in this playthrough, I need him as my trap finder and lock opener, so I reload, succeeded in teh animal handling check and the frog calmed down.
Do we get the whole story or is the frog just some interesting find along the way? I didn't found much on the net other than people were complaining about the frog being hard to kill.
