Frogs and Toads: Difference between revisions

* In [[Harry Potter]], toads in of themselves have no special powers, but a chicken egg hatched ''under'' a toad will produce a [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Basilisk]].

** This is actually an older legend, which has been pared down. The exact pattern varies, but it generally goes that a ''rooster''(yes, the ''male'' chicken) lays an egg which is then hatched in a dung pile by a toad. ''Nothing'' about a basilisk is natural.

* ''Green Wilma''

* ''Tuesday'', which is about several frogs in a pond mysteriously gaining the ability to fly and wreaking havoc all over town.

* The boatman who transports the heroes of ''[[Spellsinger]]'' upriver in ''The Hour Of The Gate'' is a frog.

 

* ''[[The Muppet Show]]''
