The Expload is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Exploads are enormous toad monsters that have a desert camouflage pattern of various shades of brown on their bumpy skin and are usually found in desert regions. They have two sets of cannon-like structures on their shoulders, which they use for artillery attacks. They can also expel flame breath from their mouths. The monster's Japanese name Desert Tank (デザートタンク, Dezāto tanku?) is likely a reference to the arcade game of the same name developed by Sega.
