The only known natural counterbalance to the locust swarms, these mottled gray amphibians bred underground in pools of water trapped below the dried plains in the south. The toads could be used as guides to find water, since many wells successfully stroke water in an area with a high toad population. The creatures burrowed upwards through the parched soil during the month of Hithui and then proceeded to gorge themselves on the locusts.
