Today's toad - the fourth and last of the set - tickles me somewhat. After a few days of agonising over how to paint them, I was struck by revelation. Talisman is a fantasy game. I don't have to limit myself to the pathetic three hundred plus species of true toads. In the spirit of the hippogriff, the cockatrice, and the owlbear (HOOT GROWL), then, I present the strangest mix of animals yet imagined: a toad coloured as 'twere a frog.
I think I've done a good job here of at least nodding to the luminescence of the blue poison dart frog I've used as inspiration here. I got a bit annoyed about getting some Agrellan Earth on its legs, but even dusty earth is going to get on you a little if you're wondering around in it. Whether I not I decide to house rule this lad to make trying to attack him extremely dangerous decides to be seen. Like, in theory it should be fine, but you don't wanna be the first brave adventurer to kark it because you squished a lethally dangerous amphibian with a hand sporting a paper cut.
