The Twitter account Strange Animals, which posts colorful, weird and amazing animals, posted the purple frog photo recently, and a legion of fans of the show took quick notice. The frog, called a Nasikabatrachus bhupathi, was discovered earlier this year in India.
Some pointed out that the frog bares more than a passing resemblance to Dart, a new creature seen on “Stranger Things 2”.
Its name is Dart.

In “Stranger Things 2,” one of the main characters, Dustin (played by Gaten Matarazzo), discovers a “pollywog” he names “Dart,” short for “D’artagnan” from “The Three Musketeers.” While Dart spends the first few episodes as a creepy, adorable, Three Musketeers-eating pet, it turned out that Dart was actually a baby version of a type of terrifying, inter-dimensional monsters dubbed “demodogs,” which got some Twitter users worried.
Oh god. The demodogs are here. Everyone get out your radiators, flame throwers, and water. And someone find Jane/ Eleven! pic.twitter.com/T7qWaI8dnV
