A Swamp Toad is a small creature with removable legs. If you choose to remove them, Toad Legs appear in your inventory in place of the swamp toad. It can be found as a spawn in the Tree Gnome Stronghold swamp, or pickpocketed from gnomes at level 75 Thieving. The Toad Legs can be used for Gnome Cooking.
When a player takes a toad from the ground the player gets the message:
"you pick up the swamp toad
you just manage to hold onto it"
However, if they fail to take the toad they get the message:
"you pick up the swamp toad
but it jumps out of your hands..
..slippery little blighters"
In a sample size of 78 attempts at picking up a swamp toad, 26 attempts were successful & 52 attempts were not. This is about a 1 in 3 success rate.
The surefire way for players to pick up the toads is to cast the Telekinetic grab spell on them.
When a player chooses the option 'remove legs' the player gets the message:
"you pull the legs off the toad
poor toad..at least they'll grow back"
