Kerog (ケロッグ Keroggu), also known as Croaker,[1] is a robotic frog found in Bubble Man's stage in Mega Man 2. It was originally part of an underwater robot carnival along with Claw. They spit out three Petit Kerogs. Even if there are multiple large Kerogs, as long as at least one Petit Kerog is on screen, they will not release any more. The Petit Kerogs are explosive in Super Adventure Rockman. In Mega Man: The Wily Wars, Kerogs are also found in Mega Water S's stage, as well as the second Wily Tower Stage.

Trivia
- Kerog is a play of the words kero (the sound a frog makes, ribbit) and frog (フロッグ).
- It is believed that the frog Shadow Man summons in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters is a Kerog. He is also seen riding it in the beginning of the Robot Master battle in Worlds Collide.
- As if by accident, the book How to Draw Nintendo Heroes and Villains mislabeled Bowser as "Kerog."
