Elutoad is a term that appears mainly in speculative biology and science fiction as a designation for a hypothetical or fictional lineage of toads adapted to eluviated or eluvial environments, i.e., habitats shaped by soil leaching and water movement. It is not recognized as a formal taxon in major scientific databases or consensus classifications.
Etymology and usage of the word reflect its proposed connection to eluviation processes, with “toad” appended
In fictional or speculative contexts, elutoads are typically described as small to medium-sized amphibians with adaptations
Taxonomic status is unclear and nonstandard in real-world science; elutoad functions as a placeholder concept rather
