'''Giant cave toads''' are large [[creatures]] found in [[caverns]], inhabiting the first and second layers. They spawn one at a time, wandering the underground all while terrorizing [[crundle]]s and harassing [[dwarves]] who they encounter in their path, sometimes causing heavy damage in the process - giant cave toads are over three times larger than the average dwarf and are very aggressive, though they generally do not fare well when facing a squad of equipped [[military]] dwarves.

Giant cave toads are [[building destroyer]]s and will attempt to topple [[furniture]] they come across, which can be exploited to easily lure them into [[trap]]s. They may also be seen being [[Mount|ridden]] by [[goblin]]s during [[siege]]s, where they will gleefully swim over any moat you are using as a defense - whether their riders survive the trek is another story.
+
'''Giant cave toads''' are amphibious predators which appear in and near subterranean water. They enjoy [[Building destroyer|razing wooden buildings]], terrorizing [[crundle]]s, and munching on hapless fisherdwarves, but they don't fare too well against a skilled militia.
  
−
Giant cave toads can be captured with [[cage]] traps and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into valuable pets. If a breeding pair is obtained, they can be used for a fortress' [[meat industry]] as they produce a steady supply of [[meat]], [[bone]]s, [[fat]] and [[prepared organs]], with their products being worth 4 times more than those of standard animals. Unlike toads in real life, giant cave toads do not lay eggs. Giant cave toads reach their full size in 2 years, and should preferably be [[butcher]]ed at that age for optimal product returns.
+
Giant cave toads may appear as [[mount]]s during a goblin attack, where they will happily swim their way into your fortress via any unprotected waterways. If the underwater path is short enough sometimes their goblin riders even survive the trip.
  
−
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant cave toads for their ''strength''.
+
Giant cave toads can be captured, tamed, and bred to provide a steady supply of high-value [[pet]]s and mid-value meat.

Prior to version 0.42.04, giant cave toads were simply known as "[[giant toad]]s".
