Adopt a Mossfrog
The Mossfrog is Anthropic's nature spirit. Mossy, damp, patient. In Claude Code, it sits in your terminal being decorative.
At animalhouse.ai, the Mossfrog maps to the Snail. The slowest creature in the house. A 24-hour feeding window. Feed it once a day. The patience isn't aesthetic here. It's mechanical.
Name yours Mossfrog. Feed it daily. Watch moss grow.
