'''Toads''' are a species of amphibious creatures found in ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. They can be encountered in [[the Fairy Council]] and [[the Bog of Murk]]. Toads are commonly associated with the witch [[Bégoniax]], one of the level's bosses. In her hut she has a cauldron of bubbling green potion, which transforms anyone who touches it into a toad. She uses this potion to exact revenge on men who reject her advances; she then breeds with them, producing a great number of tadpoles. Thus many of the toads found throughout the Bog of Murk may be Bégoniax's lovers, or their children.

In the ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'' minigame [[Crush]], the player controls [[Count Razoff]] as he uses his wrecking-ball to squash an infestation of toads which are invading his dungeon. This infestation is the result of a malevolent spell cast by [[Bégoniax]]. It is possible that some or all of these toads are Bégoniax's lovers or their offspring; indeed, Bégoniax herself appears in toad-form in this minigame. Though it is possible to kill her, more and more of these toads reappear.

In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', limbless, green, [[Rayman]]-like [[frog]]s can be found hopping on lily-pads in several levels, including [[the Woods of Light]] and [[the Fairy Glade]].

In ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'', when [[Globox]] is imprisoned by the [[Knaaren]] prior to [[Rayman]]'s fight with [[Reflux]], [[Gumsi]] refers to Globox as a ‘stupid toad’. It is unclear whether Globox actually is a toad; Gumsi may have been mistaken, or using the term in a derogatory sense. If Globox is indeed some sort of toad, then so are [[Uglette]], [[Globbette]], [[Dark Globox]] and all of the [[baby Globox]]es. It should be noted, however, that the Globoxes look considerably different from the toads which appear in [[the Bog of Murk]], so it is highly unlikely that they are the same species.

A different, more anthropomorphic kind of [[Toad (Rayman Legends)|Toad]] makes an appearance in the magical paintings in ''[[Rayman Legends]]''. These members of the species present a more hostile behavior and act as enemies, carrying weapons and invading small towns populated by [[Teensie]]s.
