Description
Toby Horhorta displays distinctive decorative animal features: canine ears, a dark nose, and a differently colored lower face resembling a muzzle. He has shoulder-length brown hair and large round eyes with black pupils. Tattoos mark his biceps—one showing the hiragana for "Sashimi," later replaced by the Lamia Scale guild crest. His consistent attire features loose pants with a skull-and-crossbones logo on one knee, a studded red collar, and initially simple dark shoes. Post-time skip, he adds dark leggings, green sunglasses worn on his forehead, and a sock attached to a chain around his neck, unaware of this accessory despite its pair being missing for three months.

He frequently greets or comments with "Oooon," flares into quick anger over trivial matters, and shows occasional naivety—like being tricked by Natsu Dragneel into pricking himself with his own paralysis claws. Toby displays pride in his abilities, claiming superiority over allies such as Yuka Suzuki after defeats, and tries to conceal his mistakes by urging secrecy. Emotional sensitivity surfaces when he cries during farewells while denying it. His attachment to possessions is extreme, shown by intense distress over losing his sock, joy at its recovery, and devastation when it is destroyed.

Motivated by his family's death caused by the demon Deliora, Toby joined Lyon Vastia's team seeking vengeance. He assisted Lyon on Galuna Island, participating in the Moon Drip ritual to nullify the magic sealing Deliora. During this mission, he battled Natsu Dragneel but was defeated after tricking himself into self-paralysis. After the ritual, he tearfully witnessed Team Natsu's departure.

Later, Toby rejoined the Lamia Scale guild alongside Lyon, Yuka, and Sherry Blendy. He participated in the Grand Magic Games with Team Lamia Scale. During a match against Raven Tail's Kurohebi, he wagered his "secret" (the missing sock) for the opponent's name. After losing, he revealed the sock's loss, only for Kurohebi to destroy it upon discovery. Toby then identified Kurohebi's ally, Ivan Dreyar, as his "sock's enemy" and tearfully celebrated Ivan's defeat by Laxus Dreyar.

His primary magic, Paralysis Claw: Mega Jellyfish, elongates his fingernails into claws coated in paralyzing powder to immobilize foes on contact. Post-time skip, this evolved into Super Paralysis Claw: Mega Mega Jellyfish, featuring longer, sharper nails. He demonstrates high durability, enduring attacks like Natsu's headbutt and flames. Toby can also perform the Moon Drip ritual solo, channeling lunar energy to dispel powerful ice-based magic—a ritual typically requiring multiple acolytes.

He maintains close ties with Team Lyon and Lamia Scale members, frequently appearing alongside Yuka, Lyon, and Sherry during missions and events like the Grand Magic Games. His interactions highlight loyalty and occasional comedic reliance on their guidance, such as Yuka calming his competitive outbursts.
