Warty creature (4)

I believe the answer is:

toad

'warty creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for toad that I've seen before include "Loathsome creature" , "Hateful person; animal" , "Dangerous driver" , "not found in Ireland" , "Stout-bodied amphibian" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the Thinks.com, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
