The HypnoTOAD
"The ten-thousand-year-old hoptoad is said to have horns on its head, while under its chin there is a double-tiered figure 8 written in red. It must be captured at noon on the fifth day of the fifth moon and dried in the shade for a hundred days. A line drawn on the ground with its left root will become a running stream. When its left foreleg is carried on the person, it will ward off all types of weapons. If an enemy shoots at you, the bow and arrow will both turn against the archer. The thousand-year-old bat is as white as snow. When perching, it hangs head down because its brain is heavy. If both of these creatures are obtained, dried in the shade, powdered, and taken, a body can live for forty thousand years."
The Prophecy
Heed these words from Sage Bufo, Guardian of the Ancient Marsh: where concrete meets creek and steel greets soil, wise builders shall find unexpected allies in the smallest of creatures. Those who design their structures to embrace rather than erase the wetlands - creating corridors for creatures and sanctuaries for springs - shall be rewarded with prosperity that flows like morning dew. When humans and hoppers work as one, weaving modern needs with natural wisdom, both shall thrive in harmony, for the builder who saves a toad's home builds a foundation blessed by earth and water alike. ribbit
