Toad (enemy)

Toad is a recurring type of enemy in the Final Fantasy series. They are amphibious creatures that lurk in caves and are usually weak to electric or ice attacks. They are often associated with musical attacks, such as the Toad Song Blue Magic, which inflicts the status ailment "Toad". Variations of the Toad include the Gigantoad and Poison Toad.

There are two different toad-types in this game. The Gigantoad is the weakest type of toad, and the Toadgre is stronger and can inflict Toad status on the party. The other type of toad enemy is the Tiny Toad. Alone they are no threat, but they attack in groups of three or more with a Bog Witch who commands them to cast the Toad spell on the party in succession. The Gigantoad and Toadgre appear in the Underground Waterway, and the Bog Toad appears in the Sylvan Cave.
In the Advance release, the Golden Toad is a rare enemy in the Lunar Ruins that drops rare items such as Golden Apples and Megalixirs. The Platinum Toad is encountered as a mini-boss in the same dungeon and must be caught and defeated to pass to the next area.

The Gigantoad and Leap Frog are enemies exclusive to the World of Ruin. The Gigantoad knows the Rippler Lore, though it lacks the MP to actually use the ability. The Leap Frog is one of the rare enemies in the game capable of using Jump attacks. Rare Pinwheels can be stolen from them.
===Final Fantasy VII===
The Touch Me and Toxic Frog are fought in and around Gongaga and the Temple of the Ancients respectively. Both are very weak enemies but their physical attacks can transform characters into frogs and back again. They also possess the Frog Song Enemy Skill, which inflicts Frog and Sleep.
===Final Fantasy IX===
The Gigan Toad is fought in Qu's Marsh, and can teach Quina Frog Drop if eaten.
Frogs also play a part in a minigame involving Quina. At the Qu's Marshes around the world, various frogs can be seen hopping around a pond. The player can play a minigame in which Quina attempts to catch the frogs. Catching frogs rewards the players with items and increases the damage done by Frog Drop.
===Final Fantasy XI===
The Doomed genus vaguely resembles toads, and several of them are named as such, including the Gigantoad. The relation ends there, however, as Doomed are Undead, and it is even theorized they are composed of several corpses.
