Toad is the current heir apparent of the MudWings, having held an heir position since late 8123 [21st of December, 2023]. Despite being beloved in the Mud Kingdom, they are notorious outside of it for their naivety and idealism.

Description

Toad is a tall yet slightly thin bigwings, with a round nose-bridge and a "general squishy appearance". Their posture is poor, often causing them to appear slightly shorter than they are, yet they stand a head above the average MudWing at full height. Their voice croaks with vocal fry, but is generally soft and melodic. Toad has fire-resistant olive-green scales, often seen spattered with mud and clay. The plates along their back are a sandy brown, with spines and ridges sporting a dull mahogany hue. Their underbelly, paler than most, is a very dull shade of yellow-white due to a minor pigment deficiency. Their eyes are bright gold, and they sport both a gold-copper alloy septum piercing and one hoop earring, of the same metal, on their left ear.
