Toad

Toad is a frog shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique passed down in the Zenin Family and currently used by Megumi Fushiguro.

Description
Toad is a human-sized frog with marks around its eyes and a symbol on its stomach that resembles the Mirror of the Deep of the Ten Sacred Treasures. The user can summon this shikigami with the Ten Shadows Technique by using their hands and fingers to form the shadow puppet of a toad.

Usage
Toad is mainly a support type that Megumi refers to as quite weak. Megumi used Toad's tongue to quickly snatch Nobara's body out of harm's way. It also carried Nobara to safety in its mouth, showcasing that along with Divine Dog, Toad can be useful for search and rescue.

In battle Toad's tongue is good for ensnaring enemies and can even throw them against something with great force. Toad was able to wrap up Jiro Awasaka with its tongue and slammed him against the side of a walkway hard enough to break all the windows.

To counter Awasaka's Inverse, Megumi used a simple poke from Toad's tongue to deal their first bit of damage to the curse user. Awasaka's technique made Toad's tongue much stronger, causing him great internal damage.

While fleeing from Toji Fushiguro during their fight in Shibuya, Megumi summoned Toad directly after using Rabbit Escape as a distraction. Just before Megumi was hit with a high-speed attack, Toad's tongue was able to snatch him out of the way. This also helped Megumi lead his opponent into a narrow space where they can only attack from one direction.

Trivia

 * Toad, despite its name, more closely resembles a frog. Frogs have smooth, moist skin while toads have dry, bumpy skin.
