Wart Frog is a traveling musical group, comprised solely of goblins, of a variety of the subtypes. It was formed in year 113 by the lead singer, Blondie. They originally started in small taverns within the Galerian Imperium, performing for tips. Eventually, their popularity grew among the Goblin diaspora, and they began to tour through entire Imperium, traveling from Goblin tribe to tribe, until they got accepted into bigger, more mainstream venues. Their popularity has continued to grow, and they now tour through many nations.
Their music is called Goblin Folk, known for its loud metallic sounds, vicious screeching, and high tempo. Wart Frog will use nearly every musical instrument known to mankind, and many things that don't seem like instruments to typical people, but one constant is always heavy use of drums and Blondie's powerful vocals.
The four founding members are Blondie, Jerky, Dedrick Ciggory, and Vernula. They will recruit temporary members from areas they travel to, so long as they are goblinoid and good enough to keep up.

He takes great pride in his appearances, but his master of his skill, and the accompanying confidence with it, is his true centerpiece. Dedrick plays every known stringed instrument, and has even invented a few of his own. His pride also forces him to challenge any person he meets who has or claims to play a stringed instrument. To this day, he remains unbeaten. The skill of his fingers seems to be undiminished regardless of his intoxication with drugs and alcohol.
