The Missile Toad is a small toad; its head and body are about the size of an arrow head. Some tribes of primitive humans tie the missile toad to a shaft and use the ‘arrow’ like a normal missile weapon, thus the name. Since the missile toad has a contact-poison secretion to keep its skin supple when the toad is touched with bare skin, the poison is transferred and absorbed into the victim’s body, doing poison damage for 1d6 rounds.

About 30 days before and after the shortest day of the year, the primitive tribes will tie a missile toad above a doorway. Any couple that come through the doorway can kiss. If the missile toad makes a vocalization during the kiss the couple is considered to be engaged and the marriage will be considered to be blessed.
