Toads are small amphibian vermin that can be found in any wet area, especially swamps and riverbanks. They can be hard to find–their coloration gives them a +2 DRM against Detect tests.
They are also edible–6 pairs of legs are enough for a meal. Their real value is to sorcerers, who use them as sacrifices for sources of strength for their spells.
