Toad King
When powerful magic places a curse over a location, it can sometimes manifest in the emergence of a Toad King. These corpulent monsters actively foul the area around them, causing the terrain to devolve into a stinking mud pit, sometimes with a series of wet muddy caves underneath. The only bright side to the emergence of a Toad King, is if you can kill it, it frequently breaks, or at least diminishes, the curse that caused it in the first place.
