Toad (カエル Kaeru, lit. "Frog") is a series of a few low Level/Rank WATER Aqua monsters related to the "Frog" archetype.
"Toad Master", "Slime Toad" and "Performapal Turn Toad" are not "Toad" series cards as they are unrelated to the "Frog" archetype.
Appearance[edit]
Toad monsters share the same appearance as the "Frog" monsters, to which they offer support. The contrasting half-angel, half-demon appearances of "Substitoad" and "Tradetoad" mimics the angels and demons theme of some "Frog" monsters.
"Ronintoadin", "Substitoad" and "Tradetoad" all have unique patterns and markings seen on their backs and faces, like most of the "Frog" monsters.
Etymology[edit]
Toad monsters, just like "Frog" monsters, have names based on puns. The pun theme among Toads and "Frogs" are mostly based off the fact that the Japanese word for "Frog" (カエル kaeru or ガエル gaeru) appears in the neutral conjugation of some Japanese verbs.
