Tiddalik is a water-holding frog summoned by Tahlia. His name comes from the Aboriginal Dreamtime story of a frog that swallowed the world's water, then caused a flood when he was forced to laugh.
In the Books[]
Hunted[]
He is introduced by Zerif as Tahlia's spirit animal.
Fire and Ice[]
He accompanies Tahlia to Arctica to find the Crystal Polar Bear. He is most likely killed in the battle at the end when Rollan steps on him.
The Book of Shane[]
In Venom, Shane views a painting depicting a frog with water in its mouth. This was probably alluding to Tahlia. In Venture, he is mentioned by Tahlia, but it's still unknown if Tiddalik is dead or not.
