toad-like

Lumpy and squat

Toad-like describes something resembling a toad in appearance or manner—squat, warty, wide-mouthed, or sluggish.

The word usually carries unflattering connotations when applied to people: His toad-like eyes bulged as he listened.

It can describe physical features, posture, or a certain repellent stillness.
