Description
Hyloscirtus tigrinus is a medium-sized and robust frog with spots covering various parts of its body.[4] It has a distinctive color pattern, which allows it to be distinguished from other Hyloscirtus species. This is also how the species was named, having a similar pattern to that of the tiger.[5]

gollark: Well, I've started it back up now (without the world files), since that seems to generally be popular.
gollark: No, those are cool.
gollark: I mean, if people do want a wipe or rollback. I suppose I could do something like giving them one item they had on the previous world, to make starting slightly nicer.
gollark: What does it contain?
