| − | + | A '''giant toad''' is the very large and dangerous version of the regular [[toad]]. They are amphibious predators, which appear near and in subterranean water. It is able to [[Building destroyer|destroy wooden buildings]]. Additionally, goblins frequently use them as mounts, which enables the goblins to travel via waterways. (The goblins usually get a rough reminder that they are NOT aquatic creatures, leading to comedy) | |
| + | |||
| + | These animals have quite a good value as pets, and body parts gained at the [[butcher]]'s shop are worth four times as much as those of domestic animals. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In terms of combat, they can definitely make short work of any working Dwarf unlucky enough to wander into one. (Which can happen quite often if you're not taking precautions in caverns, especially near the edges.) They are, however, far slower than most other cavern animals. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However, a decently trained soldier will do nicely providing he has good armor, but you should probably use more than one to take it down, on the off chance the giant toad gets a lucky hit. If you plan on using traps to dispose of them, you should probably note that even a large serrated iron disc, ''might'' not dispatch them. More often than not, they will die, but there's always the possibility that the right parts just weren't hit, so you should be wary of it limping around and biting Dwarves. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you tame them, they will usually breed and can be used as fortress defense (they will attack enemies as [LARGE_PREDATOR]s even without war training), however they are generally poor at it and are no match for goblins. They make good meat-shields, however. | ||

| + | In version 0.42.04, the old Giant Toad was renamed to "Giant Cave Toad", and a new Giant Toad was added for the surface. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The above-ground giant toad actually cannot be encountered in-game, due to a bug which prevents variations on pond-spawning vermin from being placed in the world. | ||
