Appearance
The Lake Song Toad is a round-bodied amphibian, with adults reaching about twenty-five centimeters in length. They have smooth blue-green skin, with silver-white patterns scattered across their backs resembling lake ripples.
Whenever moonlight shines upon them, these patterns emit a faint glow, as if tiny lake lights are flowing across their bodies.
The Lake Song Toad’s most distinctive feature is its well-developed vocal sac. When calling, the sac inflates into a transparent sphere, emitting a soft blue glow.
Habitat
Lake Song Toads primarily inhabit lakes, wetlands, and areas with slow-moving streams.
They prefer clear water environments surrounded by abundant aquatic plants, making them an important indicator of lake health.
Diet
Lake Song Toads feed on small insects, aquatic plants, and floating algae.
They are mostly active at dusk and night, resting among aquatic plants or rock crevices during the day.
Special Abilities
Lake Song Toads can produce a special song.
This sound can travel far across the lake surface and has a calming effect on emotions.
Many weary travelers will gradually relax upon hearing the Lake Song Toad’s call.
Legend Records
Residents by the lake pass down an ancient legend.
It is said that whenever the full moon rises, the King of the Lake Song Toads will sing loudly in the middle of the lake.
Anyone who hears this song will see their most cherished memories in their dreams.
Therefore, many residents call the Lake Song Toad the “Singer of Memories.”
Fox Observation Notes
Last night, I came to Moonlit Lake with the little boy.
The lake surface was as calm as a mirror.
Moonlight spilled across the water.
Reflecting a silvery glow.
Suddenly.
A melodious call echoed from afar.
The little boy looked up.
“Fox, who is singing?”
I followed the sound with my gaze.
Several Lake Song Toads were perched on rocks by the lake.
They puffed up their transparent vocal sacs.
Emitting soft and lingering songs.
The entire lake seemed to quiet down.
Even the breeze became much gentler.

Short Story｜Chorus Under the Moonlight
That night.
The little boy couldn’t sleep.
So he went for a walk by the lake with the fox.
The moon hung high in the night sky.
The lake shimmered with silver light.
Suddenly.
A gentle song drifted from afar.
Then a second.
A third.
More and more voices joined in.
Before long.
The entire lake was surrounded by song.
The little boy widened his eyes in surprise.
It turned out to be a group of Lake Song Toads singing in chorus.
Their vocal sacs glowed with faint blue light.
From a distance.
They looked like little lanterns floating by the lake.
The song flowed slowly through the night.
As if the moonlight itself was singing along.
Until late at night.
The chorus slowly came to an end.
And on the way home.
The little boy was still softly humming that beautiful melody.
