Description (Initial Observations): This mutated descendant of the Cane Toad looks much like its ancestor It is brown to yellow-brown, with prominent cranial crests, and a somewhat round, flattened body outline. It also retains the poison producing paratoid glands of its unmutated predecessor.Croakers are not the bravest creatures in the world. They are small, and therefore not able to inflict much damage on larger creatures. When faced with larger creatures, they prefer to use their mutations to remain hidden. If they are spotted, they will use their Stunning Force mutation and attempt to escape if at all possible. If left with no option but to fight, they will bite and attempt to rub their bodies (which are coated with a contact poison) on any exposed flesh they can find on the enemy creatures.Croakers band together in groups for mutual protection and for breeding. They spawn year-round with suitable temperature and rainfall. Eggs are laid in long-standing water - ditches, canals, streams, and ponds.

Reactions: No known interactions
