“ | And over here, is the Tibetan Third-eye toad. We can't stop this fellow chanting. Om. Ribbit! | ” |
The Tibetan Third-Eyed Toad is a species of toad that was kept in Monty Montgomery's Reptile Room.
Description[]
The Tibetan Third-Eyed Toad is large, thick and a dark green, with dark red eyes. Its third eye is in the center of its head and seems able to open independently of the other two. The toad also makes an "Om" sound.
A specimen of the toad was kept in Monty Montgomery's Reptile Room and shown to the Baudelaire children. Montgomery says that they couldn't manage to get him to stop singing.[1]
Trivia[]
- While the toad is named after the region of Tibet and thus was likely intended to reference Tibetan Buddhism, the sound it makes sounds more like the Om sound that is a sacred and spiritual symbol in Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Jainism and more widespread Buddhism.
