Useful Info
Cane toads are surprisingly dangerous enemies; they hit much harder than you'd expect, poison you, and are fast enough to make escape difficult. They are a very common cause of YASD for unprepared characters, and can be found in the Lair or guarding its entrance.
Tips & Tricks
- Dedicated melee characters with plate armour and poison resistance can probably take them on without much concern, but any other character should try to minimize their time spent in melee with cane toads. Treat them like fast, tiny hydras and try to kill them at a distance if at all possible.
- They are resistant to poison, so don't waste time trying to hit them with Mephitic Cloud. Their willpower is low, however, so other Hexes work well, and they may be slowed when hit with cold damage.
