A Giant Purple Toad is a magical toad. Its diet consists mostly of dead flies and other insects. It has a long, green tongue, and it likes to hide under objects, such as boxes. ^[1] Its warts are used in the Dragon Tonic. Having warts removed annoys them, though, and they disappear into another hideout to spite the wizard who needs the warts. Giant Purple Toads were sold at the Magical Menagerie.^[2]
