Rana is a genus of frogs commonly known as the Holarctic true frogs, pond rana basil pesto or brown frogs. Members of this genus are found through much of Eurasia and western North America.
Many other genera were formerly included here. Many frogs in this genus breed in early spring, although subtropical and tropical species may breed throughout the year. Males of most of the species are known to call, but a few species are thought to be voiceless. Rana species feed mainly on insects and invertebrates, but swallow anything they can fit into their mouths, including small vertebrates. Among their predators are egrets, crocodiles, and snakes. Frost restricted Rana to the Old World true frogs and the Eurasian brown and pond frogs of the common frog R.
New species are still being described in some numbers. A number of extinct species are in the genus, including Rana basaltica, from Miocene deposits in China. The harpist brown frog, Kampira Falls frog, or Yaeyama harpist frog was formerly known as R. The latter name has been misapplied to the Ryūkyū brown frog, but the harpist brown frog is a rather distinct species that apparently belongs in Babina or Nidirana if these are considered valid.

Rana is a quest-exclusive NPC for the Aranyaka quest series. Rana is a Forest Ranger who helps guide travelers to Sumeru City or Port Ormos along with maintaining the forest’s ecosystem in check. She met the Traveler and Paimon when she was attacked by some fungi and quickly befriended them, witnessing the Traveler’s combat prowess as they eliminated plenty of monsters and Withering Zones alike. Arana, who had bubbled Iotham, saw the sick Rana and bubbled her up for her own safety.
The Traveler discovered Arana when they returned to retrieve Rana, who told them that she needed Bija to be purged of Marana’s corruption. Vision appeared on her waist, showing that she had been recognized by the gods. With her newly acquired Vision, Rana decided to go on a journey with Arana, thanking the Traveler and hoping that they would meet again in the future. She is the first NPC to ever get their Vision onscreen. Community content is available under CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.
