Thank you to Chris @MAL0RN for this one.
Newt is an Aero Dwarf who doesn’t like Humongish Frogs. Newt’s dialogue in telling your wizard about the Frog Prince is reminiscent of Newt’s dialogue in the film Aliens discussing the Aliens.
Rebecca Jorden, or known to most people as Newt; is a colonist living with her family on the Hadley’s Hope settlement on LV-426 and the sole survivor of the Xenomorph infestation on the colony. She was discovered hiding in a ventilation system by the USCMC team which was dispatched to rescue the colonists.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
