Sir Toadswallow is the euphemistic alias<ref>“Sir Toadswallow,” the goblin with the monocle introduced himself, giving them an insincere smile.

“Toadswallow. Is that toad and swallow or toads and wallow?” Verona asked.

“Activities best enjoyed when it is both at the same time, girl. It’s a stage name,” he said.

Lucy crossed her arms. “What kind of stage?”

“I work with children,” Toadswallow said, before giving her a wide smile that showed all of his teeth. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.2</ref> of Sir Turdswallow, a Goblin.

Personality

TS is an intelligent goblin who has carved out his own niche. He collects tricks that he keeps up his sleeve for a long time. Has a wide range of experience.

Toadswallow has learned to serve as a "polite" goblin for Practitioner children to practice interactions with his kind.<ref name=":2" />

Relationships

Apprentices

Teaching Cherrypop and Bluntmunch to work with children.<ref name=":2">“When a practitioner drops a bit of meat from their nethers and wants to teach it to deal with goblinkind, they like to have goblins they’ve met and made deals with beforehand for the practice and initial lessons. They summon, I go, they pay me.”

“You might get better business if you didn’t call the clients nether-droppings,” Lucy said.

Toadswallow smiled, and it was so fake it looked like someone trying to smile for the first time and doing it badly… with added fangs. “My most regular summoners seem to have misplaced their books, and I have some time to myself. I’m training some of this lot to do the child-work. Cherrypop is the noisy little foetal deposit here in my hands. The big one is… let’s call him Bluntmunch.”

The big goblin groaned, low, long, and drawn out. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.2</ref>

Kennet Trio

Impressed with the girls, <ref>“The good news is, little britches,” Toadswallow said, “We’re happy, we’re pleased. We’ll teach you more if you want to learn. Unanimous.” - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.7</ref> thinks they are very smart and capable.

Trying to make Snowdrop a bit more goblin.

The Tedds

Some of nether droppings he's taught, they were impressed with him and are very fond of their uncle toad.

Appearance

Sir Toadswallow has a waistcoat and monocle. His fat belly has nails sticking out from the inside. He's smaller than a human<ref>She could see the things in the bushes. Small, ugly, and twisted. Something she might have taken as a stone in the corner of her eye was a figure too lumpy and misshapen to be a person. Three other things were perched on him, one maybe a girl, tiny with red-stained skin, her expression twisted into a permanent scowl, then a fat one with what looked like nails sticking point-out from the inside of his belly, wearing a waistcoat and monocle, and a scrawny one with a nose like a pickaxe. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.1</ref> and fanged <ref name=":2" /> with knobby, clawed fingers.<ref>The goblin with the monocle wrapped his hands around the littlest goblin’s lower face, knobby fingers with pointed claws interlacing. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.2</ref>

He is rather fat, and he jiggles while he walks on his too short legs.<ref>Toadswallow was round, with legs a bit too short to be practical, and he crossed the street at a run that required him to rock from side to side to get his legs up enough, while periodically touching the ground with one hand to keep from tumbling or sprawling. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.5</ref>

Abilities and Art

Allegedly knows many and varied tricks.<ref>It was only Toadswallow, who was catching up, a cloud of nose-burning gas surrounding him, the gas bladder stuck to his hip, and… no Cherrypop. She was either being sneaky, or she’d run off to notify people.

Toadswallow had more gadgets and tricks. That was his thing, maybe. Bluntmunch hit things, Gashwad messed things up, Cherry was useless, and Toadswallow… he knew the tricks, he collected them.

He spiked a wooden box onto the train tracks.

Rats and mice spilled out. Way too many for the box. - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.8</ref>

Called a knob by other goblins<ref> – Toadswallow. 3ish feet tall. Described as a ‘Shitter’
