It resembles a giant [[toad]] in a mechanical suit. As the fight continues, it loses more of its armour until it ends up practically naked, with only a red thong to cover it. He also appears to be the only ''[[Rayman Legends|Legends]]'' boss that is not rendered in 3D, not counting the bosses in [[Back to Origins]].

==In ''Rayman Legends''==
Upon being called by a [[Dark Teensy]], the Armored Toad proceeds to attack the heroes by shooting [[missile]]s at them from his hands. In order to damage him, [[Rayman]] and his friends must use the [[Blue Punch]] they just received from the [[Elder Teensy]] to hit him when he is vulnerable. As the fight continues, the Armored Toad loses more of its armour until he ends up practically naked, with only a red thong to cover him. Once defeated, he crashes into a castle, and the castle collapses.
