Its body is very round in shape with a short neck. Its pupils are horizontal slits. It has long arms and short, stubby legs. Its fingers lack webbing and its toes may have slight to no webbing.

It excretes poisonous sticky fluid from its skin when handled. It lays eggs in chains similar to some toad species.
