Amphibian similar to the frog but with a drier, warty skin (4)

I believe the answer is:

toad

(Other definitions for toad that I've seen before include "Ancestral hall on River Bank" , "Stout-bodied amphibian" , "not found in Ireland" , "Contemptible person" , "Ugly creature, jewel in head (AYLI)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
