Background[]
Working at the Curiosity Hut[]
Froog Soos talking to Curator Ponds about his feel of different parallel worlds.
Frog Soos is an employee who worked at the Curiosity Hut owned by the Curator Ponds, who captures rare wild creatures and turns them into wax figures. One day, Anne Boonchuy came to the shop and spotted a Skip Man on display. After making a deal with Anne, the Curator tells Frog Soos that he hit a jackpot. While sweeping the floors, Frog Soos asked him if he had that feeling that they exist in different parallel worlds, each unaware of the other's very existence, but the Curator dismisses it as Frog Soos having licked himself again, and he giggles that his boss caught him, and then started licking himself.[3]
After the death of Curator Ponds at the hands of the wax figures he had locked up as attractions,[3] Frog Soos took over the Curiosity Hut.[2]

Name and basis[]
Soos Ramirez.
Frog Soos serves as an homage to the character Soos Ramirez from the Disney Channel series Gravity Falls.[1] He resembles Soos in appearance and attire, as well as sharing name, occupation, and voice actor. Soos, in turn, is inspired by Jesús Chambrot, a friend of Alex Hirsch while a student at Cal Arts University.[4]
Voice[]
Frog Soos is voiced by Alex Hirsch,[1] the creator of Gravity Falls and the voice of Soos himself, Stan, McGucket, and Bill Cipher, and other characters in the same show. Hirsch also voiced King and Hooty from The Owl House, another Disney Television Animation produced series.

Trivia[]
- According to a cryptogram in the episode, there is a Soos in every dimension. This is referenced by his philosophical rant, which addresses the topic of counterparts in alternate dimensions unaware of the others' existence.
- Frog Soos' species could be a poisonous dart frog, or possibly a hallucinogenic toad, as the Curator asks if he's been licking himself again suggesting that the poison may affect his thinking, referring to the common media trope of toad-licking.
- Frog Soos licking his elbow is a reference to the real Soos trying to lick his elbow from the Gravity Falls episode "Dreamscaperers", where he tries to investigate whether or not it is possible to lick one's own elbow.
- According to Matt Braly on a Reddit AMA, after Curator Ponds' death, he took over the Curiosity Hut.[2]
- This references the finale of Gravity Falls, where Stan left Soos in charge of the Mystery Shack, so that Stan along with his brother Ford could embark on an adventure to the Arctic Ocean.
