My understanding is that it was actually not set to what it's classic incarnation should be (lower HP pool, didn't have all its AEs, etc.) so the GMs spawned a massive Froglok for people to kill as well that dropped a bunch of loot.

I think maybe they intended to put the loot on Jaled Dar, but we killed it so fast they didn't have a chance to ... thus the follow-up giant froglok.

Honestly though I think the frog might have been even more fun than a full-strength Jaled Dar: JD would have just had a lot of hit points, whereas the frog seemed to have every raid mob weapon in the game.

The frog was super fun. We need more mobs like this to keep it interesting

What mob was the frog actually?

Looking back at my screenshots I realized I never posted one with his name; here you go:

(ie. his name was "The Frogenitor PART TWO")

Dang put that pic on the back of the box.

P.S. Fun EQ trivia fact: anyone wonder how Jaled Dar became a shade? He was killed by someone you probably know, and if you've ever been inside Sebilis, you've even completed a quest with him.

From the Sebilis/VP Key Quest:

You say, 'hail Emperor Ganak'

Emperor Ganak says 'Greetings..It has been long since I have been aware on this plane..Who are you and what do you want of I, Ganak, slayer of Jaled-Dar?'

Did it have any interesting abilities or just a vindi tank and spank?

Fear, quakes, and knockbacks

Seemed like it was just an insert random raid mob ability here every 30 seconds or so. Fear, gflux, he would jump way up in the air and slam down shaking the screen like it was a quake, aoe dmg. Felt a lot more like what you would have expected going into Jaled Dar not knowing that you can just sieve JD and he won't cast any of his abilities and then realizing he only had less than 1 mill HP, not the 3mill stated on Wiki.
