The Froglets came to the Clangers' planet in a top-hat which must once have belonged to a conjurer or a magician because the froglets can hop in and out of this top-hat and vanish and appear more or less anywhere on the planet. They can also make other things disappear and appear and do all manner of tricks. Nowadays the froglets live in a lake of pink soup in a cave at the middle of the planet.

Oddly enough, this lake is sideways. The surface is like a smooth wall at the side of their cave, except when the froglets dive into it. Then it breaks into upright ripples and waves and splashes. Froglets don't mind about this. Upwards, downwards or sideways are all the same to them. They are just as happy standing on the roof as on the floor. The froglets are rather odd creatures really but like the Clangers and all their other friends they are quite ordinary and reasonable when you get used to them.
