Story of Kulipari
The story of Kulipari happens in a secret place called the Amphibilands. This is a hidden village where frogs live. For a long time, the frogs were safe because of a special magic shield called the Veil. They were also protected by a brave group of poison frogs known as the Kulipari.
But then, trouble starts! An army of scorpions, working with a powerful Spider Queen who uses magic, threatens the Amphibilands. Our main hero is a young frog named Darel. He's always dreamed of becoming a Kulipari warrior, even though he doesn't have poison like them. Now, he finds himself right in the middle of the fight!
With help from his friends, Darel has to face his fears. He needs to become the Kulipari warrior he always wanted to be to save all the frogs from danger.
