toadlike
Resembling a amphibian
Toadlike describes something resembling a toad—squat, warty, or ungainly in appearance.
The word usually carries unflattering connotations when applied to people, suggesting a heavy, low-set body or bulging eyes: He had a toadlike face with a wide, flat mouth.
It can also suggest toad-associated qualities like stillness or patience.
