The Shady Toad is a secluded Toad merchant in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. He sells things that the player has already collected. Due to some specific characters' dialogue, his business is implied to be illegal. He hides to the left of the Sling-a-Thing stand in Decalburg, which is convenient, as the player needs to sling Things in order to use them.
