What's the point of giving items to Leila (The Little Frog at the Island)

[ZeroMetroid]

I know she's adorable, but do you get anything from giving stuff to her? There HAS to be some kind of secret I don't know about... >w<

150 bells for a shark?

I think its purpose is to clear out the rest of your catches that you can't take home due to lack of space in the basket. Probably so you can get something instead of nothing for something you may release. Not too sure if my assumption is correct, though.

Well, it seems the most likely at least.

I leave the island with full pockets. Upon leaving they state they sell the stuff, for not much, but will deposit to savings account.
I'm going to check balance before I leave to see just how much they deposit.

If I pick up some shells or catch some unnecessary fish/bugs, I'll just sell it to Leila

It's kinda simpler than releasing them since you can do it in bulk

from what I've gathered, its for when you go diving.

Since you can't release sea creatures you catch when diving - unless you catch another one when your inventory is full, and switch it out - Leila allows you to sell sea creatures which you wouldn't normally be able to get rid of.

Well that's what I use her for.

Once you step out of the water, you're able to release them. The only time you're not able to, as you said, is when you swim. You're always able to get rid of them once you've walked out of the water, so you don't have to sell them to Leila to get rid of them. Unless you're doing so for the tiny profit.

I use her to sell Hermit Crabs, Tiger Beetles, Emperor Butterflies, etc. whatever isn't 6k+

Yep, that's exactly what I do. I just give her everything I don't want because it's easier than releasing them one by one. And I get a bit of extra money while doing it xD Better than nothing lol

 

[ZeroMetroid]

Huh, I guess I never thought of using her like the way you guys are mentioning. I was thinking of you gave her enough stuff she gave you a super rare item. Meh

someone posted a theory that if you keep selling her something she slowly raises the price
it took like a lot of bugs though so i guess if you're fine with wasting money you can get her to raise it

 

[Zanessa]

Er, I don't think Leila is a frog.. :/

I like her. She's adorable. I just sell her the stupid shells, or just to see her smile. ^o^
