As a practicing religious Jew I am prohibited from killing anyone or anything on the Sabbath day. Was trying to get rid of a REALLY big fly that sat on my window sill as I opened the windows, which got me thinking:
Why would I kill a fly if I don't eat it or use its body somehow. If it was useful
to me in some way, I would probably do a better job at it. No?
This giant frog (to be used only by illegal regimes) is brought out during demonstrations. It's sticky long tongue catches the demonstrators, bringing them into the storage place in its "stomach" where they are tied up and then put outside on the frog's "belt" to be used as a human shield.

What an oddly specific category... |
|

Something something spirit of the law. Travel that path far enough and you'll become a Christian. Don't forget the names of the angels! |

Flies are light, because they have to fly. Also, flies have a rigid exoskeleton, so frog- tongue- mucus can grip them by getting into the cracks in that exoskeleton. |
|
| |
Humans are heavier, and have a less rigid outer layer (clothing). |
|
| |
Therefore, the giant frog bot captures only the demonstrators' hats or scarves. Maybe the big signs they were holding up. Probably not the demonstrators themselves. |

I'm seeing sacrificial ponchos. |
