Toadal Dude is a humanoid Yo-kai with pale, beige skin, tidal blue facial markings, and long, dark hair in a ponytail with a dull, red bulb-like tip, all tied with a red hairband. He wears an eco haori with golden colored cotton fluff, a lime green short kimono with the same cotton fluff held by a red-orange obi, eco-green pants, baby blue socks, and zori sandals.
In contrast to his rival Arachnus, Toadal Dude is free-spirited and pretty nonchalant. Toadal Dude loves spicy food to the point of going berserk when he eats it. He has a tendency to use a lot of slang. In the Japanese version, he often adds the word "gekko" (croak) to his sentences.
In Yo-kai Watch 2, Toadal Dude and Arachnus are rivals at first, but after a series of events, Toadal Dude and Arachnus decide to make a truce of peace between the Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls, eventually becoming friends. They are later seen together in Yo-kai Watch 3 when visiting Yopple HQ and in Yo-kai Watch 4.
Toadal Dude is exclusive to Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls. After upgrading the Yo-kai Watch to Rank S, the player must time travel to the past and head to Flatpot Plains. In Flatpot Plains, talk to Toadal Dude and start the request Fleshy Souls General. After starting the request, Toadal Dude will ask the player to bring him a Bun of Oneness. The Bun of Oneness can sometimes be dropped by Chymera and Kyryn. After getting the Bun of Oneness, give it to Toadal Dude. He will eat the Bun of Oneness and then proceed to challenge the player to a battle. Upon defeating him, Toadal Dude will reward the player with his Yo-kai Medal, completing the request.
Toadal Dude can be befriended via the quest The Search for General Toadal Dude, through the Detective Agency after beating Chapter 10, and upgrading the Yo-kai Watch to Rank S.

Origin[]
Toadal Dude is based on the youkaiōgama (Japanese: 大蝦蟇,ōgama lit. "giant toad"), which is also his Japanese name. An old toad that turned into a youkai, it grows larger and more dangerous with age: it can take residence in a house's crawlspace and make the inhabitants fall sick one after another. In the worst cases, it'll even possess people.
Ogama's appearance might also be based on the eponymous protagonist of Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari, a skilled ninja and noble bandit, who mastered frog summoning magic, similarly to another Yo-kai based on Orochimaru (Venoct#Origin).
Trivia[]
