Tadpolehood and Personal Life

Mortus the Toad (he/him) is a toad from Swampous. He has spent his entire life clinically depressed and addicted to Honey.

Mortus describes his Tadpolehood as "miserable and an endless string of failure after failure". This apparent misfortune would follow him into adolescence and adulthood.

In 894,097 SVU Mortus received a dream job offer as a Rodeo Clown. Excited at the prospect of his first potential success, he enthusiastically accepted. Unfortunately, the Rodeo would be shut down later that week after a law was passed outlawing the use of Gadflies in Fly Fighting.

In 895,000 SVU, Mortus was celebrating the new millennium at the largest Toadfolk party of all time, with over 200,000 in attendance. When a freak accident caused the building the party was being hosted in to collapse, Mortus was the only survivor. This event would leave him with immense survivors guilt.

Notoriety

Mortus is well known for making honest but sad Toadfolk music.

During the Age of the Muskrat, Mortus' spouse died due to widespread famine and disease on Swampous. They were only 739 SVU old. Mortus was devastated by this and begin plotting to kill Muskrat Incel King. His efforts would eventually contribute to the events of the Great NoCo Fallout when he would finally confront Muskrat Incel King and his meat puppet Elon. Although Muskrat Incel King was defeated, the Great NoCo Fallout devastated the region and led to massive loss of life.
