Kastaba

The kastaba is a small poisonous bronze toad. Just holding the toad in one's hands will cause extreme pain and precipitate a weakening of the individual's constitution. If he or she wipes his or her eyes with an infected digit, the individual may become blind. The secretions of the kasataba may be used to make a paste that will kil1 if placed on a sword edge or an arrow point. If the victim does not die from the poison, he or she will fall into a coma and be permanently blind upon awakening.
