Over the next week, Dumpy continued to experience rapid growth, expanding from the size of half a palm to nearly half an arm's length.
No longer resembling a cute baby creature, Dumpy now looked more like a fierce, mythical swamp frog, shedding much of his baby fat.
His weight, once barely noticeable, now made Leo feel his presence each time he hopped onto his shoulder, making him acutely aware that if Dumpy's growth continued at this pace, the frog would likely outgrow his shoulder in just a few days.
Now, as Dumpy faced off against multiple snakes, it was they who fled from him, no longer seeing him as prey, as his natural aura as a mythical creature had begun to assert itself.
Over the past week, Dumpy had also started to develop small teeth and a pair of retractable fangs, with his poison glands becoming more active.
