~~==Skill Rune Effects==~~

The [[rune]] effects for Plague of Toads were revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010]] by [[Wyatt Cheng]] in the gameplay panel.<ref>[http://www.diablowiki.net/Gameplay_Panel_Blizzcon_2010#Specific_Skill_Rune_Examples BlizzCon 2010 Gameplay Panel Transcript]</ref>

~~[[File:Runes-plague-of-toads-all.jpg|thumb|400px|Plague of Toads rune options.]]~~

* [[Alabaster rune]]: The toads also blind enemies.

* [[Crimson rune]]: Flaming toads add fire damage to their attack.

* [[Golden rune]]: Reduced cost per cast. From PCG issue 221-- it adds more toads per cast.

* [[Indigo rune]]: Changes the skill to a rain of toads, which fall down on the targeted location.

* [[Obsidian rune]]: One huge frog that uses a sticky tongue to capture and consume monsters in one bite. It spits out the treasure and items. Can eat [[Champions]] (possibly only at higher/highest rune level?), but not [[bosses]] or (presumably) bigger enemies.

** [[Bashiok]] (jokingly?) said[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-crafted-sets-and-toad-licking/] that the mega-toad would "lick them to death" when faced with monsters it could not eat in one shot.

**In comments to that same news post, '''Exile''', a fan who tried this skill with the Obsidian rune at Blizzcon 2010, reported that the toad would eat bosses, deal some damage, then spit them back out. This forced the other players in the party to stand and wait while the toad chewed up the boss, before hacking it back out so the battle could go on. This is likely a temporary state of affairs, and the "lick to death" option sounds more viable for a final game solution.
