toads
Squat warty amphibians
Toads are squat, warty amphibians related to frogs but typically with drier, bumpier skin and shorter legs suited to walking rather than hopping.
They're found worldwide and often appear in folklore as ugly or magical creatures.
Figuratively, toad describes an unpleasant or repulsive person: That little toad sold us out.
