Trivia

• This version of swamp toad cannot be used to hunt chompy. Attempting to use an ogre bellows on a swamp toad gives the message: The chompy bird doesn't like this species of toad.
• Pulling off the legs will generate the message You pull the legs off the toad. Poor toad. At least they'll grow back..
• In RuneScape Classic, there used to be about a 2 in 3 chance that the Swamp toad was too slippery to successfully pick up, with a message calling them ..slippery little blighters. This seems to have been changed at some point, likely in the transition from RSC to RS2.
