Tree Frog
CharacterTamao carries an amphibian Quirk that stays modest about it. Tree Frog gives her a tongue with a bit of extra length and a curl at the tip, a gentler cousin to the far more capable frog powers seen elsewhere in the series.
Overview
Tree Frog is a Mutant Quirk with close-range utility, introduced through Tamao in Chapter 34 of Team-Up Missions. It sits in the same family as other amphibian abilities, and the story openly draws the comparison to Frog rather than letting readers make it themselves.
Mechanics
The Quirk lengthens the tongue and gives it a distinctive habit: when Tamao sticks it out, the tip curls back toward her rather than shooting straight. The added reach is slight. Measured against Tsuyu Asui's Frog, which turns a tongue into a grappling line and a weapon, Tamao's version looks considerably more constrained.
She also has webbed fingers and an overall tadpole-ish look, though how much of that traces back to Tree Frog specifically is never spelled out.
