Now Viewing: oogamaTag type: Character 大蝦蟇 Oogama or Daigama A giant toad youkai from Japanese folklore. Oogama are bigger than a human, they live for a long time and their breath causes weak humans or bugs to jump willingly into its mouth and be devoured. In Touhou, the Giant Toad (大蝦蟇 Dai Gama) is a toad that lives in the Giant_Toad's_Pond who first appeared in Cirno's article in Bohemian_Archive_in_Japanese_Red. In the article, it was said that Cirno was freezing frogs as usual, so this giant toad (oogama) decided to punish her by eating her. However, Cirno escapes by freezing the toad's stomach, making it spit her out. Neither had any major injuries. Considering the divine nature of the pond, it is likely that the giant toad acts as its guardian. Unless provoked, the Giant Toad will remain benevolent and gentle. Providing it with an offering will ensure that humans who visit the pond will have a safe trip home. On the walk home, a seemingly ordinary toad will follow you down to the base of the Youkai_Mountain. This toad is actually a subordinate of the Giant Toad, and is a sign of its approval. No youkai would dare to attack a human being followed by the Giant Toads's watchful eyes. The toad is the size of two humans.
