:''This article is about the amphibian enemies found in [[Rayman Legends]], [[Rayman Adventures]] and [[Rayman Mini]]. For the creatures in [[Rayman 3]], see [[Toad]].''

'''Toads''' are amphibian enemies which appear in ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', ''[[Rayman Mini]]'' and ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. Although similar in species, they shall not be confused with the [[toad]]s in ''[[Rayman 3|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', as they bear a less primitive behavior and act more aggressively with [[Rayman]] and his friends.

==Description==
In appearance, they are considerably different to [[Toad|regular toads]], with small legs and arms and no visible webbed fingers. Their most noticeable feature is their green egg-shaped body covered in boils, surrounded by a big loincloth-like belt. They slightly resemble [[Polokus]] as he appears in ''[[Rayman 2|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.

Toads come in three other common variants: [[Red Toad]]s, who can breathe fire, use flamethrowers and wear jetpacks; [[Underwater Toad]]s, who fire electric projectiles and wear a diving suit; and [[Spy Toad]]s, whose rifles also fire electric projectiles, but wear infiltration suits.

A giant version called the [[Armored Toad]] is the boss of [[Toad Story]] and possibly the leader of all toads.

==Appearances==
===''Rayman Legends''===
In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'', toads are, along with the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]], the most common kind of enemies in the game. They are mostly found in [[Toad Story]].

Toads act as wild barbarians, and invade small towns populated by defenseless [[Teensie]]s, causing war and disaster. They usually just carry a machete with them, though some will also carry a wooden shield, which can be outsmarted with [[Murfy]]'s tickle ability or just with a stronger punch. Some toads prefer standing on stilts to avoid danger, and can be defeated by reaching their altitude or simply calling [[Murfy]] to break their stilts. Their strategies also involve air ambush with parachutes, similar to those used by the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]]. Some toads will even run at [[Rayman]] with their machetes, making a battle cry. Like most of the enemies, toads can be defeated with one hit.

Toads notably make an appearance in 3D in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IQuDbycE3k E3 2013 trailer for the game], in which they fight [[Barbara]], who has come to help [[Rayman]] escape from the grip of the [[Armored Toad]].

===''Rayman Adventures''===
In ''[[Rayman Adventures]]'', toads are also found in [[Toad Story]] and behave identically to those in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''.

It also appears that [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and Toads are at war with each other. No longer allied by the [[Dark Teensy|Dark Teensies]], they tend to fight for territory. In many levels of [[Toad Story#Rayman Adventures|Toad Story in ''Adventures'']], the [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] will invade the territory of the Toads. Within the levels, [[Livingstone|Lividstones]] and Toads show signs of winning the battles that are taking place, but due to the player interfering, the battles usually end in a stalemate with a [[Francky]] and [[Oger]] preparing to fight each other only to have the player defeat both of them.

===''Rayman Mini''===
In ''[[Rayman Mini]]'', toads of a regular size are found in [[the Rabbit Hole]] and [[the Trunk]], where they act as bosses for those worlds. From version 1.3.0 onwards, they also appear in "Life on a String", the music level set in [[the Trunk]].

The single toad from [[the Rabbit Hole]] stomps the floor, causing the tunnels to collapse, while those from [[the Trunk]] shoot at the heroes using the same guns and electric projectiles as the [[Underwater Toad]]s from ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. One of them can be defeated by being crushed with spikes.

===''Rayman in the Phantom Show''===
While toads do not physically appear in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a western-themed toad appears on posters in [[the Western Set]]. A prop of one also appears in Act 1 of the [[Phantom]]'s song, [[Phantom Returns]]; the [[Phantom]], emphasizing how [[Rayman]]'s [[Telescopic fist|punch]] is weak, punches a prop of a toad on a spring, only for it to hit him and send him flying.

===''Rayman: The Board Game''===
Toads are set to be included as enemies in ''[[Rayman: The Board Game]]''. They will appear on the [[Toad Story|Jungle]] board.

==Trivia==
*Some toads hum five notes of the composition ''Ride of the Valkyries'' by Richard Wagner after releasing their parachutes.
