The True Name of the Frog in "The Night Riders" Revealed: ‘Mystery’
Matt Furie’s first publication, "The Night Riders," features four unique characters: a frog, a rat, a dragon, and a bat/rat-like creature. This wordless, dreamlike narrative follows these characters through a fantastical landscape. Given the absence of words in the book, there has been much speculation about the names of the characters.
After substantial research, it has been revealed that the real name of the frog in "The Night Riders" is, in fact, ‘Mystery,’ while the names of the three other main characters have also been uncovered.
The most concrete piece of evidence is found in the book itself. While the body of the book contains only illustrations, the endnotes page features a very telling excerpt:
“In memory of Wat Thanks, Aiyana, Fox, Mystery, Toki, and Hoodrat.”
So who are these individuals?
- Wat: Matt Furie’s pet rat
- Aiyana: Matt Furie’s partner
- Fox: Matt Furie’s other pet rat
- Mystery, Toki, and Hoodrat: Strangely named characters
Let’s break them down and also consider that "The Night Riders" includes four main characters: the frog, the rat (inspired by Wat), the dragon, and the bat-like creature.
Character Associations in "The Night Riders":
- Wat: The rat in "The Night Riders" is inspired by Wat, Matt Furie’s pet rat.
- Toki: The dragon can be identified as Toki, consistent with the meaning of Toki, or dragon, in some Japanese translations.
Now we are left with Mystery and Hoodrat—the two remaining names, and with two remaining characters, the frog and the bat-like creature. While Matt Furie does not publicly speak on either name outside of the excerpt from the book, it is highly unlikely that a frog would be named Hoodrat. The bat-like creature fits the name, appearing more rat-like than bat-like.
Identifying Mystery:
By process of elimination, Mystery is pegged as the frog, assuming Hoodrat is the bat/rat-like creature. This gets more interesting with a video segment where Matt Furie discusses the creation and storyline of "The Night Riders." While narrating, the visual alternates between the frog and rat riding a bike (as shown in the book) and Matt Furie and his daughter riding a bike through the neighborhood. This suggests that Matt Furie identifies with the frog in "The Night Riders."
Additionally, one of Matt Furie’s characters from his HEDZ NFT collection is named Mystery. This figure in the orange hood, named Mystery, can be seen as an alter-ego of Matt Furie himself. Therefore, Matt Furie, aka Mystery, is pseudonymous with the frog in "The Night Riders."
Final Evidence:
Observe the order in which he gives his thanks in the endnotes: “In memory of Wat. Thanks, Aiyana, Fox, Mystery, Toki, and Hoodrat.” This order matches the presentation of the characters in the book (excluding Aiyana and Fox, who are are determined not to be characters):
- Wat: The rat
- Aiyana: The frog
- Fox: The dragon
- Hoodrat: The rat/bat-like creature
