ToadsWe know that frogs were well known in the Shire, and indeed an entire town - Frogmorton in the Eastfarthing - took its name from them. Their close relatives the toads are less well attested, but they were clearly known among the Shire-hobbits, and presumably also the other peoples of Middle-earth. There is, however, only one direct reference to them, in Gandalf's threat to turn an eavesdropping Sam Gamgee into a spotted toad.2 Notes
