**Blubbering Toad** (T-01-23-04) is a ZAYIN-class Abnormality that can be battled on Saturdays in Thread Luxcavation, and on Station 3 of Line 1: MADNESS.

It can also be encountered in the Mirror Dungeon through Abnormality events, and as a potential boss.

## **Appearance**

**Blubbering Toad** has the appearance of a giant, gray rock-colored toad with blue warts covering its back. It has two huge, blue bulging eyes that periodically dart around independently of each other. It is able to retract its eyeballs into its body, as well as extend them out of its eye sockets to attack opponents. The inside of its mouth is coated with a blue goopy substance and houses a long, thick blue tongue that is also covered with this substance.

Rather than croak, it makes crying noises which can be heard throughout the battle with it.

## **Combat Strategy**

Attacking Blubbering Toad head on via its body will only result in too many turns wasted due its abnormally high resistance to both Sin attributes and attack type resistance. In addition, it rolls dice too infrequently to make use of Bleed. One of the best ways to deal with it is instead to target the eyes while redirecting the body's attacks if needed.

Be wary when attacking the Eyes, it will always reduce the SP of the sinner who approach and attacks it regardless whether or not the clash was won. The Right Eye is weak to Wrath and resists Gloom, whereas the Left Eye is weak to Gloom and resists Wrath. Wherever possible, utilize SP-recovering effects and E.G.O like Representation Emitter Faust. It's also worth noting the deadly 35 SP decrease whenever a part is broken; it can cause your Sinners to Panic, or much more deadly, enter E.G.O. Corrosion.

The Body's resistances are reduced once both eyes are broken, soon also providing an event opportunity to stagger the Toad completely for a turn. Outside of this, it is also a viable option to keep attacking a broken Eye, always dealing two times the physical damage to the Toad's total health.

It wasn't the most pleasant encounter.
 You might say that this would apply to facing any Abnormality in battle, but this one just...felt unusual, somehow.
 It was sitting languidly still and crying strange noises, looking like it had given up on everything.
 The protruding blue eyeballs were shifting around with no confidence...
 Yeah. It was kinda getting on my nerves. I thought I might go crazy if I had to hear its cry any longer.
 I would rather just...
 → Is that the reason you swung your mace against the orders? I find it hardly convincing. *(Outis)*
 → Nah, I'm with her. I'd snap too if I kept listening to that bloody croak. 'Sides, we're supposed to beat those Abnormalities or whatever until they're eggs, aye? What's the problem here? *(Heathcliff)*
 → I, I thought so, too… I agreed it would've been better off to reduce it to an egg quickly… *(Sinclair)*
 → What's clockface on about now. They're ticking an awful lot. *(Heathcliff)*
 → …Executive Manager asks for some respect for salvaging you tools after you got yourselves killed in an idiotic charge. *(Outis)*I think I've learned one thing.
 I don't know how it came to attack its foes with its own eyeballs, but it looks like getting hit by it drains your energy (on top of it being incredibly gross).
 …Does it? Gimme a moment.
 Hmm… I asked a few other Sinners about this.
 In conclusion… The more times you're hit by its tongue, the deadlier the eyeball seems to be.
 I couldn't figure out further details, but I think it's safe to plan our tactics around avoiding its tongue, manager.
 Which is good. It did not feel good to get hit.
 → Talk about a weirdo. It's not really tough at all, but it makes me feel all weak and drowsy~ *(Rodion)*
 → Really? I, I felt a little different… Doesn't it make you more gloomy than anything? *(Sinclair)*
 → Huh? How? *(Rodion)*
 → Like… Past memories popping up, or… Wanting to give up and die… *(Sinclair)*
 → …Um, Faustie? Looks like our kiddie needs some mental aid? *(Rodion)*The left eye reduces health, and the right eye damages sanity.
 So that's how they worked.
 Well... Not like this changes the fact that it's best to avoid both.
 In any case, we now know why dragging on doesn't do us any favor.
 I felt like I was being dragged deeper into the swamp of gloom as the fight went on.
 I suggest we make quick work of it with fast and powerful attacks, manager.
 P.S. This just occurred to me...
 I wonder what would've happened we just waiting until it's finished crying?
 No, I'm not saying we should try it. I don't see it being efficient, either.
 It's just... I remember someone doing the same for me a long time ago, and it helped me back then.

## **Mirror Dungeon Event**

**Mirror Dungeon Event**

“Croohoo, croohoo, croohoo.”
A giant toad cries inside a cave.

Patches of dark blue resin cover the cave.

This resin is like gloom.
A sap of gloom, not quite like tears or sadness.

The toad holds this resin.

**Mimic the cry.**

**Pass Condition: Team Average SP ≥ 25**
 **Check Passed**

“Croohic, croohoo.”The toad’s cry is dull and heavy.It doesn’t seem to have understood what it heard.After crying like that a few more times,it hopped away from its spot.All that’s left is the sticky blue resin.

**Nothing Happened.**
 **Check Failed**

“Cruh-huh, croohoo.”The toad makes a different noise as if to answer.It sounds like an affirmative reply.It extracts its long blue tongue,snatching a person from our group.Sometime later, they walked back out of its mouth.They seemed drenched…in moisture, or gloom.

**Friendly Units with the lowest SP healed back to Full SP.The Ally with the lowest SP with Gloom Affinity Attack Skill healed back to Full SP.**

**Sit and wait.**
An indeterminate amount of time passes.As you waited for the toad to finish its cries,it gazed into us, closing and opening its eyelids slowly.With a quick, slick sound,a long blue tonguepopped out towards us.An eyeball belonging to the toadwas on its tongue.When we picked it up,it blinked its other eye at usbefore going on its way.Was that its thanks for lending an ear?

## **Trivia**

* Blubbering Toad is the first ZAYIN-class Abnormality introduced in *Limbus Company* (not including the Peccatula).
* Its E.G.O Gift, Melted Eyeball, only activates with Tremor Bursts coming from skills. Tremor Bursts from other sources (such as the Downpour Gift) will not trigger its effects.
