A zombie toad gains a slam attack of 1 damage, meaning it becomes able to kill people. In theory.
A celestial or fiendish toad on the other hand can only Smite once per day, which does their regular (non-existant) melee attack damage plus an 0.25 points of damage.

I know you specified D&D 3.5, but going back to AD&D the single most pathetic creature ever was in a very very very old issue of White Dwarf, possibly even issue 1, or in the first half-dozen. It was called the Squonk, and was a small furry woodland creature so hideously ugly it would hide away from every other living creature. If seen, it would be so ashamed of it's own ugliness, it would cry so much it would dissolve in it's own tears...

You can't help feeling a bit sorry for it...

That is indeed sad. I feel a bit sorry for it too.

True. It'd also be able to cast light/darkness though. Not dangerous, but spiffy.

That is very sad. What was the purpose of that creature?
But yes... A wizard on 1st level is kinda pathetic. Playing one ATM and he is of No Use.
I was playing a level 1 sorcerer gnome recently in an adventure cleaning out the sewers of monsters. By using Mage Hand and the "environment", I gained the title of "Pooflinger". It would blind them on a successful attack and let the other level 1 fighters finish the beasties off.

To reproduce and continue the genetic line, I suppose, same as every other creature I guess they must have found one another's appearance acceptable...
I believe, by the way, it was from New England folklore.
A 1st level wizard with high dex, and Improved Initiative can be quite useful.
I used to rock out massive Init scores, going before everyone else. And I would cast this cheap spell that stunned or dazed the opponent, so everyone else gets a free round to whale on him.
I was of teh use. Didn't rock much damage, but the fighters, they loved me man.
As DarthCestual said - lemonade from lemons, dude. Can't have one without the other...unless you have Country Time Lemonade...
