Centrolene
Centrolene is a genus of glass frogs in the family Centrolenidae.[1] The adult males are characterized by having a humeral spine, as most members of this family. The delimitation of this genus versus Cochranella is not fully resolved, and some species formerly in Centrolenella — which is nowadays synonymized with Centrolene — are now in Hyalinobatrachium.

gollark: Hmm, interesting! They could probably be procedurally generated.
gollark: Well, not literal interest, whatever.
gollark: Stock market™ investing produces 7%ish returns a year, 4% or so factoring in inflation, so if you have, er, 25x the money you need per year as initial cashmoney, you can just run it off interest.
gollark: that would be manual.
gollark: Not what I was thinking!
