'''Plague of Toads''' is a tier I [[skill]] for the [[Witch Doctor]], which summons a pack of poisonous toads who run hop into enemies and explode, dealing poison damage.  
==Background==
|user= Witch Doctor
|tree= Voodoo
|description= Description: Release a handful of toads that deal X-Y poison damage to anybody who steps on them.
|type= Direct Damage
|quantity= Duration
|synergies= Unknown
}}
The Witch Doctor sends forth toads that hop into enemies, exploding in an acidic blast.
==Skill Design==
A good skill to cast The toads behave much like [[Charged Bolt]]s, scattering out from the Witch Doctor and forget, switching to other skills to finish off enemies that might have survivedspreading out semi-randomly. The toads start hopping towards random enemies and explode when they make contact accuracy of this skill with themjust one cast is suspect. Also, the toadIt's carcasses deal damage to enemies who stand on them. It works very well best spammed, cast six or eight times in rapid succession against the Dune Dervisha large number of attackers, because especially if the enemies are moving around erratically and are thus more likely to encounter multiple toads cannot be reflected back by the dervish's Whirlwindeach.
Runestones can change this strategy, of course.

The [[rune]]s for Plague of Toads were discussed at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. [[Wyatt Cheng]] narrated a short video of them in action<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P2/ Diablo 3 Gameplay Panel Transcript] - Incgamers 23/10/10</ref>:
<blockquote>File:Runes-plague-of-toads-all.jpg::'''Next up let's look at Plague of Toads on the Witch Doctor . The Crimson Rune makes all of your frogs on fire and then something a little more gameplay oriented, you've got mana reduction (Golden rune) so you can have a lot more frogs and then Alabaster rune will blind monsters which gives you some crowd control ability and then we change the skill completely and make a toad blizzard (Indigo rune) then finally we wanted to have a giant toad (Obsidian rune) but what's he going to do? He's going to eat monsters and he digests them but he doesn't digest the loot.</blockquote>

It spits out the treasure and items. Can eat [[Champions]] (possibly only at higher/highest rune level?), but not [[bosses]] or (presumably) bigger enemies.
