+{{ :glowfrog_gg_scenic_2d_05.44.57.png?200|}}====== GLOWFROG ======
 ===== Overview =====
-The Glowfrog is a bioluminescent amphibian endemic to the wetlands, lake shallows, and reed zones of the [[asari|Asari Region]], particularly around [[lake_tijonara|Lake Tijonara]], the [[tijonara_river|Tijonara River]], and the [[arla_river|Arla River]]. Known for its vibrant body patterns and melodic calls, the Glowfrog plays a key ecological role in nocturnal ecosystems.
+The Glowfrog, known to the [[the_senti|Senti Tribe]] as "Tsu’vara" (meaning “Lantern of the Marsh”), is a small amphibian native to the wetlands and deltaic zones surrounding [[lake_tijonara|Lake Tijonara]] and the [[orlanda_marshes|Orlanda Marshes]] in the [[asari|Asari Region]] of the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]] on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. Its bioluminescent spots make it one of the most iconic and visually striking creatures of the region.
-Among the [[the_senti|Senti Tribe]], the Glowfrog is revered as a creature of harmony and transformation, often associated with seasonal change and spiritual renewal.
+Often seen perched on floating ferns or hidden beneath Glowrush reeds, the Glowfrog plays an important role in Senti myths, where it is believed to carry messages between the living and the spirits of the water.
