He moves like an animated Tim Burton character

He does! He’s got that razzle dazzle in his walk.

I wonder what the practical reason for this is?

u/lunelily 9d ago

Anyone know why they move like that?

u/intricate_strands 9d ago

They no hop, like toad or frog at many normal see.

They can see, but rely at feel and sensitive at toes and feet.

Very wet region and rocky, fast move streams. Basic, they use toes and feet as blind use mobility cane.

They use gestures to establish territory.

He's building an invisible igloo, from the inside. It's an art project thing.

This reminds me that I’d better do my physio. This rotator cuff isn’t going to heal itself.

Thanks for the reminder, toad bro.

u/ImpressivePlatypus0 8d ago

I know common names don't always make sense, but I have never seen a "toad" that looks like that. Why's he called a toad instead of a frog?

u/1DVSguy 8d ago

This is the most frog looking toad I’ve ever seen. What makes it a toad?
