- 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
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.
