Toad (species)

''This article is about the species toads. For the characters Toad,Toadette, orToadsworth visit the respective links.'' Toads, sometimes called mushroom people, are the dominant species of the Mushroom Kingdom. Toads are native to almost every city in the entire kingdom and many of the surrounding countries (such as Isle Delfino and Rogueport).

Mushroom Cap
All Toads wear special mushroom caps on their heads (just like actual mushrooms). Interestingly, the coloring of the spots on any respective Toad's mushroom cap reveals intimate details about their personality, especially in the Paper Mario series and the games that follow it. In fact, if Mario or another character talks to any Toad, they will behave like other Toads with the same colored cap as them.
 * Red Spots: Cowardly (in a cute way) and subservient. Most common coloration. [Example: Toad (post Super Mario Bros. 2)]
 * Light Green Spots: Shy and always happy to talk to Mario. Second most common coloration.
 * Blue Spots: The smallest Toads have blue spotted caps. This type is often stressed out, and is the cutest. Interestingly, Toad had blue spots in Super Mario Bros. 2.
 * Orange Spots: Very brave, first appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
 * Yellow Spots: Loves to tell jokes. This coloration first appeared in  Super Mario Sunshine
 * Pink Spots: Very intelligent; this coloration loves to give Mario hints. First appearence Super Mario Sunshine.
 * Purple spots: Bittersweet Toads. (Example: Chanterelle)

Special Types

 * Pink Cap with White Spots: Always female. (Example: Toadette)
 * Black Cap with White Spots: Only one in existence, serves as the conductor of the train.
 * Red Hearts on Cap: Exclusive to Vanna T.
 * Mario Party Toads: Various exclusive colors, as well as one Toad having stars on his cap.
