Weretoads are notoriously tough. You can practically skewer them and they won’t die. There have been unlucky hunters who came across a weretoad and cut all of their limbs off, but the monster still managed to lash out at them with his tongue, only to draw the hopeless victim into his gaping maw.
Weretoad bites are nearly always fatal, with one exception. The weretoad bite will begin and immediate transformation of the victim into a were creature, but most creatures die before the transformation is complete. Bufotoxins retard the deadly magic of the weretoad so that a transformation can complete, but only for animals that carry bufotoxin…toads.
Toads have naturally occurring enlarged parotoid glands, making them a likely target for any weretoad encounter. Weretoads are evil, cursed animals to most Nnewts, so much so that it is considered unlucky to even speak about them. We are not Nnewts, so it’s okay to write about them in this post. Rest assured, your luck remains in tact.
Dragon-lizard-thing guy, you are a huge jerk.
Oooh, I love the last panel reminder that we’re being told a tale, and not just reading a story. And I love the mellow coloring in contrast with the previous panels. Can’t get enough of your stuff, Doug.
I told myself I couldn’t stand to be on the edge of my seat 100% of the time. I told myself I would wait for like a year before reading. But I should have known that I couldn’t hold out for very long. And here I am.
And so far, so AWESOME! If there’s anything I like, it’s lore to go along with my media.
Cat lizard guy is awesome!
I love how his scrolls look like a comic. Great work, as always.
Panel 2 looks very Ming the Merciless / Dr. Fu Manchu.
This exact thing happened to me, except I survived my Weretoad bite. I turned into a Ugowin. A wereugowin, actually.
this is so awesome. sell me this book already!
… Wait a sec… The picture in that last panel… No, it can’t be… But it is… that picture Sayer Nok is holding is this page(Including the final panel of him holding the page). XD Paradoxes for the win!…
This sentance is false.
Sam, we used temp art on that page, and now I’ve just created Nnewt-ception.
“We are not Nnewts, so it’s okay to write about them in this post. Rest assured, your luck remains in tact.”
Doug, how do you know that everyone who reads your comic is human? What if some poor Nnewt child stumbles upon your work and starts reading your blog posts!? THINK OF THE SLIMY CHILDREN!
It’s like some weird form of time travel.
Reminding me of the only LOST mystery I really wanted solved. Where the heck did Locke’s compass come from?! He gave it to himself to give it to himself to give it to himself.
Actually, I’m not sure what was with the compass. I just remember it was involved in one of the weird time travel paradoxes in the 70s, as opposed to 2007, airing in 2008.
way to bring us back Doug!
Sweet second panel!
First Ratfist switches places with his creator, now this.. I love how meta your comics get.
and the coloring here is so distinct you can’t really get lost or confused, you’re instantly in another scene.
Oh Sayer Nok, you are such a tease.
Wow, Doug, that last panel of Nok is looking really amazing, and the intruder is very manacing! Keep up the good work mate!
I hope to see your works translated to Danish soon :O
Stay creative,
Best,

generally love your work! but does Mrs Newt have a disappearing/reappearing tail?
Woah! Standing up to CatLizard with a cricket knife? That takes ovaries!
This is the most awesome / sinister baddie EVER! Great work, Doug!
