In one literary work, a giant one of these animals enlists the collections officer Katagiri to help battle Worm and prevent an earthquake. That creature is a "Super" type that "Saves Tokyo" in a story by Haruki Murakami. This animal is the namesake of a comedy in which Xanthias is forced to wear Heracles' lion skin, and Dionysus brings back Aeschylus from Hades. In addition to naming that work by Aristophanes, this type of animal is owned by the gambler Jim Smiley, but has lead pellets poured down its throat to prevent it from being "celebrated" for its "jumping" in "Calaveras County. " For 10 points, name this type of amphibian found in a Mark Twain story.
