Toad

# Phoenotopia

**Toad** is an enemy in *Phoenotopia*, being the first one players encounter in their journey. They sometimes drop a silver Rai when defeated, and have a small chance of dropping Toad Leg as well.

Toads are commonly found in Duri Forest, the Duri Forest Ruins, and Misty Gorge. They also hide in large wooden crates in the Bandits' Lair and Farmer's Block as well.

## Behaviour

Toad normally idles in place until they are alerted either by Gale approaching or being attacked. Then, it would hop towards her once every few seconds. Depending on whether it's in the water between hops, Toad may stand in place or swim towards Gale.

For players in the early game, especially before getting used to Gale's short attack range, they are advised to first stun Toads with Slingshot and then approach to hit with melee attacks.

## Trivia

* Compared to most other enemies, Toads get stunned by Slingshot's attacks for much longer.
* Toads are referenced as frogs for a few occasions, despite toads and frogs are different species in real life.
	+ (Traveler) "You came from Misty Gorge? So did I! I didn't realize it was going to be so dangerous! Stupid frogs!"
	+ (Coby) "It's a good thing you came along. One moment longer and Billy's golem would've been frog food!"

**Toad** is an enemy in *Phoenotopia: Awakening*, being one of the first players encounter in their journey. They sometimes hide inside large pots and crates, and would either drop RIN or Toad Leg when defeated.

Toads are commonly found in places with abundance of water, such as Moonlight Ravine. They can also be found in the overworld battles in Panselo Region, Atai Region, and Daea Region.

## Behaviour

Toad shares the same behaviour from the original game, where it normally idles in place until they are alerted either by Gail approaching or being attacked. Then, it would hop towards her once every few seconds. Depending on whether it's in the water between hops, Toad may stand in place or swim towards Gail.

While it is still viable to defeat a Toad by simply spamming Regular Swings with the Wooden Bat early game, this can require an extra hit rather than the expected 3 due to the damage degradation of Gail. Instead, starting with 1 Aerial Swing and following with 2 Regular Swings is a slightly more energy-efficient method in defeating Toads.

## Trivia

* Like with most other enemies, Toads do not deal contact damage. Coupled with its AI, it is possible to run past a Toad directly without it noticing Gail's presence.
