Ribby & Croaks

Most of the designs on these two stay the same with some differences. Instead of the two wearing leggings, they instead wear a green and dark blue suit respectively, along with a black tie, light blue and purple undershirt, and a pair of sandals. Ribby is shorter, with a greener skin tone and dark green suit with an orange flower, and Croaks is taller, wearing a dark blue suit with a yellow flower and a brown-ish skin tone. They both also speak in New York accents.

Although Ribby and Croaks act kind and caring towards their guests, and while not outright vilified, they are both quite violent, threatening, and mean, shown when they kick Cuphead and Mugman into the lake after taking their five dollars, saying it wasn't enough to enter their club. Their rudeness also extends even to their own riverboat employees, notably with Croaks using a firefly waiter as an improvised flamethrower against Cuphead and Mugman.

It only takes a perceived insult for these two short-tempered frogs to start pounding themselves or others, though Ribby seems to have slightly better control over his anger, albeit for the sake of their business, while Croaks is aching for a chance to start wailing on someone. They are also pretty wrathful, being so quick to violence that they will start fighting each other at the drop of a hat, ruining their "respectable" image in the eyes of the public. They also get so invested in trying to beat the snot out of Cuphead and Mugman that they don't realise they're punching holes in their own boat.

Compared to Ribby, Croaks is much more quick to engage in violence, declaring his intent to pound customers if they claim he and his brother aren't "respectable types," and being the one to engage conflict with Ribby. While Ribby, at least, tries to keep up appearances, he will still start throwing fists when mad.

Even so, some parts of their kind and caring personalities are actually genuine, as it's shown that, like any sibling, they always find their way to the true meaning of family and sincerely love each other as brothers despite their constant fighting. They also hold immense love and respect for their (implied deceased) mother, remembering her fondly and honouring her memory.
