warty toad; toad with bumpy skin
Colloquial term for toads with prominent warts, especially the Japanese common toad (Bufo japonicus) or the wrinkled frog (Glandirana rugosa). Often used in everyday speech rather than formal biology.
I found a warty toad in the garden.
Warty toads feel a bit unpleasant to touch.
Standard kanji spelling; 疣 means 'wart' and 蛙 means 'frog'.
Katakana spelling common in biological or colloquial contexts.
Compound of 疣 (ibo, 'wart') and 蛙 (kaeru, 'frog'). The reading いぼがえる is a straightforward combination of the kun'yomi readings of the kanji.
