So basically, i was thinking and i realized that there are no animal weapons, so i came up with the remote control frog. My idea is that you can control the frog like your hog. So you can go in any direction, and you can jump, since it's a frog, and frogs can jump, obviously. There are no weapons which can actually swim, so therefore, the frog can swim. Yeah, the cake can go under water, but that doesn't count. So let's say you can use this frog for 20 seconds. When you use it, you place the frog next to you like the cake, and the you move with it. Now comes the actual weapon part of the frog: you can swallow up 1 hog. (obviously, you got to stand next to a hog to do this) Let's say this does 50 damage, then, as a second thing, you can spit the hog out in any direction, and let's say this does another 20 dmg. I think it would be a nice idea to make the range kinda like the baseball bat. And well, this was it basically.

Now, don't be shy, and tell me what you guys think ;D

In my opinion nice idea but i have two issues with it...

20 seconds seems kinda like alot doesn't it? i mean you can first use your whole turn to run away and get safe, then just pop out the frog and cover like half the map? doesnt that seem a bit over powered? maybe half the time would be alright.
also if the range is as far as a base ball bat that would kinda just mean two straight kills :S

Hmm, yeah you've got a point there. But it also matters how much playtime you have. All my 'normal' gameplays are 25 secs. If you have defaultplay then you really have a lot of time yeah. Maybe it would indeed be better to shorten it to 10 seconds. But why 2 straight kills? Only if there would be 2 hogs standing close to each other, then yeah you can kill both. But only if they're at the edge. But that goes for any weapon, and the baseball bat only does 30 dmg. It's not much. So i don't think you are overpowered. But the frog should at least be delayed for like 3 turns, to make it fair then. And btw, once you swallow and spit a hog out, the turn ends. Same like any weapon. It isnt endless, lol.
