Appearance
Boie's frog is a relatively small toad with a robust, globular body and rough skin. Its upper parts are typically dark brown crossed with band-like, dull yellow marks. Notably, their eyes are large, protruding, and have a distinct horn-like structure above them, creating a peculiar visual effect. Equally prominent is the triangular, pointed snout. No significant discrepancies in appearance due to age, gender, or subspecies are observed.
