The Harpers' Read

A giant toad is a slow ambusher with a fast tongue. It reels prey in with a sticky lash and then swallows a victim whole, who is left to suffocate and digest inside until cut free or until the toad is slain. Stay out of tongue's reach, and if a companion is swallowed, kill the toad quickly — every moment counts.

Encounters of Record

Kept by Arauthator as a lair-beast, patrolling the ice tunnels of Oyaviggaton with his trolls (48).
