Barry is a minor antagonist that appears in the 2019 animated series Amphibia. He is a devious frog man that specializes in the dark arts of magic curses.
Background[]
Physical appearance[]
Barry is a tall plump blue frog with round eyes, two large front teeth, pink cheeks, and a light blue underbelly. He has bright red bushy hair that is mostly covered up by a dark brown top-hat that has a maroon band around it, along with a patch. His outfit consists of a plum purple dress-coat with a yellow bowtie, complete with stripped pink pants, and black dress-shoes.
Personality[]
At first, Barry seems like nice friendly guy who you'd stumble upon. However, he is later revealed to have unforgiving nature with façade of niceness that he blatantly admits. He also enjoys casting curses upon his enemies and wishes to make them suffer even when they apologize for wronging him, thus showing he abuses his magic powers for nefarious reasons.
Role in the series[]
Barry appears in the episode segment "Cursed!" as the main antagonist. He is first seen carrying a bucket of blue moon berries, which grows every ten years, until Anne and Sprig bumped into him. This caused Barry to drop the bucket, spilling the contents of berries in the process.
Later, he was discovered by Anne, Sprig, and Maddie in his secret hideout and revealed to the trio that he was the one responsible for placing the curse on Anne and Sprig. He did this out of spite when Anne and Sprig ruined his harvest of blue moon berries and refused to lift the curse. Barry then engaged Maddie in a magic duel (tossing bags of hexes at each other). In the end, Maddie defeated Barry and transformed him into a monster bird creature.
He later appears in ''Sasha's Angels'', once again as the main antagonist. It is revealed that after King Andrias started mining Amphibia's resources for his invasion plans, Barry became the leader of the Marauders, a group of anarchist amphibians who don't work for Andrias or the resistance and instead hijack caravans and raid villages for scraps. When the Marauders steal a shipment of supplies for the resistance, Sasha leads a team to get it back. However, the plan fails and Sadie Croaker, Toadie, Loggle, and Maddie get captured. After they are imprisoned, Barry reveals himself as the leader of the Marauders and plans to sell the rebels to Andrias. After the group's first plan to escape backfires, Toadie plans another escape that goes better and Maddie curses Barry once again. After the resistance leave with everything the Marauders have, Barry asked what they would eat now, only for his group to look at him hungry, much to his alarm.
Other appearances[]
Barry made a cameo appearance near the end of the Broken Karaoke short "Evil as Can Be".
