How to run the frog
Not a fighter: A frog has 1 hit point and a bite that deals 1 damage, so any hit kills it. Its value is in what it can reach and what it can notice, not in combat. Against AC 12 its +3 bite hits 60% of the time, but that rarely matters.
Best use, a familiar: The frog is one of the standard forms for the Find Familiar spell. Amphibious lets it scout underwater or through flooded tunnels, darkvision out to 30 feet helps in caves, and Stealth +3 keeps it hidden. Standing Leap lets it hop 10 feet across gaps or 5 feet up onto ledges.
How to run it: As a DM, frogs are swamp scenery, a target for transformation spells or a disguise for something more dangerous. If a frog does end up in a fight, track it in the initiative tracker and roll its bite on the d20 roller.
