Glogalog was the King of Marshtoads in Southsward. The king's name created some confusion when Finnbarr Galedeep and the crew of the Pearl Queen first encountered the marshtoads because Glogalog sounds very similar to Log-a-Log's name. When the shrews yelled their famous war cry, the marshtoads stopped attacking and called their king. Glogalog made a dramatic entrance in the middle of the interrupted attack as a center of a procession of toads. He was transported on a hammock covered by a canopy and held a bulrush sceptre surmounted by a sun-bleached lizard skull.
