Kleptoads[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is possibly a portmanteau of "kleptomania" (like Klepto's name), a mental illness where a person has an uncontrollable urge to steal things, and "toad," referring to their appearance. These blue frog-like creatures are encountered in Hightail Falls Galaxy during the Silver Stars in Hightail Falls mission only. They jump and also burrow into the ground and appear out of a random spot similar to Gobblegut. Sometimes, they have a type of item above their heads and try to keep it by jumping. When an item is on the ground, they might pick up the item and try to keep it. Also, if one gets defeated, another tries to pick the treasure up. They can be defeated by having Yoshi eat them or jumping on top of them.
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Frogs are replaced by Kleptoads.
