The Vampire Frog minion will often try to return to the player, and get stuck on terrain obstructions if there is no clear path. This happens particularly while exploring the underground, although it also frequently gets stuck in indentations in cliffs. (It also gets stuck on closed doors.) Although it can fly through terrain to return to the player, it only does this if the player moves a certain distance away – so when it gets stuck at shorter distances, it will constantly jumping against the impassable terrain in an attempt to return, which causes its sprite to flicker and glitch out. Many minions get stuck on terrain, but the Vampire Frog’s stuttering jump animation looks particularly unnatural when it gets stuck.
If there were some way for the minion AI to recognize when it has become stuck, it could be changed so that it just flies through terrain to the player’s location instead of repetitively jumping against the same impasse with stuttering animations.
