The Giant Toad is a big, aggressive toad that attacks on sight. It hits harder than its size suggests, and it needs 77.1 Animal Taming.

Overview

  • In-game name: a giant toad
  • Corpse: a giant toad corpse
  • Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.

Wrestling 40.1–60.0
Magic Resistance 25.1–40.0
Resistances and damage types (not used on New Bradford)
The script also lists Age of Shadows resistances and damage types. New Bradford runs on Lord Blackthorn's Revenge combat rules, so these values have no effect in fights. They're shown here only for completeness.
Damage types 100% physical
Resistances Physical 20–25, Fire 5–10, Energy 5–10

Taming

Requirement Value
Minimum Animal Taming 77.1 (below this you have no chance)
Control slots 1
Maximum owners 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame)
Bonding Yes
Rideable No
Favorite food Fish or meat
  • Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 46% at 100.0 skill, and it improves as your skill rises. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
  • Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
  • Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
  • Obedience. Once tamed, how often it obeys depends on your Animal Taming and Animal Lore (taming counts four times as much as lore). With both at 77.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 82.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 77.1 the chance drops quickly, to as low as 22%.
  • Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
  • After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.

Bonding

Only the owner can bond with a giant toad, and they need at least 77.1 Animal Taming (base skill). Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.

Loot

Every giant toad carries:

  • Gold: about 1–25 in total (from its "Poor" loot)

It may also carry:

  • A musical instrument (well under 1%: about 0.02%)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

  • 12 spined hides, doubled to 24 in Felucca

Tips

  • It attacks on sight, so be ready to fight while you tame it.
  • At 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 46% chance.
  • Its Dexterity is very low (6–25), so it's slow to swing.
  • Carve the corpse for 12 spined hides (24 in Felucca).
