The game also has 2 summoned or scripted copies of this unit that players don't recruit directly (wh3_dlc25_nur_chieftain_mon_toad_dragon, wh3_dlc27_nur_mon_toad_dragon_monst_arcanum_reward).
Where these numbers come from
Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 8a4f7e64). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
