Toads as depicted in the Naruto series.
Toads (蝦蟇, Gama) are the summons used by Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya in spin-off. They reside on Mount Myōboku.
Overview[]
From what has been shown in the spin-off, toads are able to spit oil from their mouths as well as utilising things ranging from their own tongues and weapons in battle.
They vary greatly in size; ranging from giant summons such as Gamabunta, Gamaken and Gamahiro that tower over trees, while others such as Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, were small enough in Part I of Naruto, however the two have got much bigger. The toads have also shown unique personalities; Gamatatsu has a fixation for snacks and Gamakichi enjoys watching battles from safe distances. Gamaken, spends the bulk of his appearances commenting on how weak and clumsy he is.[1]
