The code toad greatly resembles a common toad. However, when in the presence of sentient beings using speech the mature code toad exhibits an unusual characteristic. Whatever words are spoken aloud in the toad's presence appear on its back, scrolling along from head to posterior. The words appear to be translated into readable content based on the observer. Different readers who do not share a common language will each be able to read the speech in their own language. Therefore, this appears to be a memetic effect based upon the observer rather than a conscious effort produced by the toad.

Code toads can not make illiterate individuals understand written language. Adult code toads are worth as much as 1000 gold crescents on the open market.
