toadlet
Wee hopping creature
A toadlet is a very young toad, recently transformed from a tadpole but not yet fully grown.
The term applies during the brief stage when the tiny creature has developed legs and lost its tail but remains miniature: Hundreds of toadlets emerged from the pond after the spring rains.
