Physically, they are very short and stocky, barely reaching 4 feet in height, with weights that can reach up to 50 kilograms. They have warty skin that is basically yellow-greyish or brown-greenish in color, while their bellies tend to be lighter. They have short and stocky legs, a flattened muzzle, and horizontal dark gold eyes. They also have a particularly long tongue covered with a sticky mucus and can produce a poison from the parotid glands that can be hallucinogenic or even deadly for some races. They also reproduce through oviparity, and females lay a pair of eggs in a water basin after fertilization occurs through sexual acts. After being born, tadpoles stay together in the water basin for several years during their maturation and transformation period.

The Toad people are one of the few societies that, while practicing exclusively a "primitive" religion because they are firmly Lohudonists, have nevertheless maintained constant technical and scientific advancement. In particular, their cities are surrounded by high stone walls, with large buildings that are finely decorated and sculpted, often with a certain opulence, which is different from what one might expect. Their entire society revolves around Lohudonist practices, and except for the king, Shamans and Witches are considered the major power figures in their society. There is an important priestly hierarchy, although Shamans and Witches are largely self-sufficient. Generally, the highest-ranking shaman is the Shaman Chief and acts as the king's court advisor, while the skilliest witch is the Witch Mother, who is the most important spiritual guide of the entire people.

Although the Toad people reject the authority of the Deities of the Ring, they have not completely rejected the new universal order and, on the contrary, have learned traditional magic well. The so-called Palace of Thousand Kingdoms is their renowned school of magic, appreciated for its in-depth studies of Summoning magic.
The Toad people have a mainly insectivorous diet, which has allowed them to develop a thriving insect breeding industry, but they also have a good mineral and agricultural capacity, specialized above all in silkworms, limestone, hemp, iron, and tobacco. All of these products constitute their main bargaining chip with populations of Varooy, Sarema, and Mogress. Their main art forms include Bocio, carved wooden statues that represent ancient spirits and may be activated through various ritual steps, and Asen, metal objects that attract the spirits of the dead or other kinds of spirits and give them a temporary resting place.
