Tank

Tank came to me just after completing his transformation from a tadpole. His tail had only recently been absorbed and his four new legs had developed, making him scarcely more than a newly transformed froglet.

Since then, Tank has grown into an absolute eating machine. He can swallow a meal weighing almost half as much as he does in a single sitting! Although he devours all kinds of bugs, his very favourite foods are adult mice and chicks, which he gobbles down with astonishing enthusiasm.

Tank is essentially a stomach with legs. As a natural ambush predator, he sees no reason to waste energy wandering around unnecessarily. Instead, he sits almost perfectly still, wearing the intensely serious expression of a criminal mastermind preparing to take over the world, while waiting for something edible to wander past.

Every so often, Tank launches himself into his pond for a leisurely swim—usually followed by an absolutely enormous poo. He may not be the most active member of Wriggly Roadshow, but he is unquestionably one of the biggest characters!
