Tiddalik
A myth-sized frog hoards water until it can barely move, ready to burst into a swamping flood at a joke, a death, or its own choosing.
A tiddalik is an enormous frog of myth that swells grotesquely with stored water, hoarding it until laughter or death makes it let go in a flood. A waterlogged tiddalik can barely move, but the deluge it carries can swamp everything around it.
