Hmm, as I see it (IMHO) there were no frogs until something made them and Frog Woman would seem to be the choice. Kyger Liquor is the mother of Trolls, Frog Woman is the mother of frogs. So, they don't act like frogs except in as much as they act exactly like she does. The frogs aren't supporting the deity as much as *being* the deity. If you managed to kill off all the frogs (perhaps only all the frogs in Zola Fel) then Frog Woman would "die" as well.
