A toad was an animal that shared physical characteristics with the wingless Thunian wart-hornet. The words "toad" and "frog" were used as synonyms by Luke Skywalker. Leia Organa famously likened Emperor Palpatine to a "wicked, aged toad." On the planet Jelucan, young people engaged in Lizard-toad-snake, a hand-based game where "toad" defeated "lizard."
