Which frog is well-dressed but well-armed as well?

Personally I have huge respect for someone who commits to a suit that is all one colour, and centrolenid frogs (glass frogs) commit pretty hard to that style, though with occasional polka-dots for good measure. But don't let their high fashion fool you. They are very well armed—at least for battles with each other. Many glass frogs possess fearsome humeral spines; sharp extensions of the upper arm.

So they're pretty literally well-armed.
