Frog ♚'s Links
duke was frog's stuffed toy from childhood. as he advanced in his magical abilities he brought duke to life with a piece of his own soul and a water elemental host. as he was inexperienced, the procedure wasn't perfect. eventually, in a panic he attempted to end his creation, but this also failed, leaving duke shattered and splitting him into two forms; duke and fester.
their relationship began with duke's creation, bonding him quite closely to frog as his creator. he was curious and loving as duke, but due to frog's inexperience the old water elemental would occasionally resurface, filled with rage and contempt for frog. duke couldnt understand these emotions and tried to stay friends, but secretly frog was terrified and planned to kill him to erase his mistakes. this only turned duke against him as well, and solidified fester's corruption.
