Poisonous Warts. The Colossal Sun Toad that has reached the Huge size is covered in warts that swell with light. A creature that touches the Collosal Sun Toad or that hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it (a DC 10 Dexterity save and you can choose to move back 5 feet as a reaction) must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage, and the target is swallowed if it is a Medium or smaller creature.

If the Colossal Sun Toad takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the Colossal Sun Toad must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, each of which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the Colossal Sun Toad. If the Colossal Sun Toad dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Description
The Collosal Sun Toad is the result of an experiment to produce a Toad that can consume light. This botched experiment resulting in a Toad that not only consumes light, but grows exponentially each time it successfully consumes a light source.
The Collosal Sun Toad begins its lifecycle as a Tiny creature that seeks out light sources and consumes them.
Generally these Monstrosities do not live long enough to develop a Lair but if required the Lair Actions can be utilised.
Based on the growth of monsters, they're lifecycle would only be a few days or more depending on how it is able to control its desire to consume light or if it runs out of light to consume and finds something else to feast on.
As the Collosal Sun Toad outgrows its size, the body of the Collosal Sun Toad will swell and light will begin emitting from any openings .
When a Collosal Sun Toad has consumed too much light it outgrows the Huge size (DMs discretion) and becomes Gargantuan. Whilst Gargantuan, each time it consumes light it must succeed on a DC20 Constitution saving throw and on a failure it erupts in an explosion of bright light and poisonous innards.
The bright light is a 60-foot-radius sphere of pure sunlight that spreads out from the location of its death. The sunlight is permanent and can never be removed short of a wish spell.
The poisonous innards erupt onto anyone within 20-feet of the Collosal Sun Toad. Each creature must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 2d10 + 5 poison damage and is poisoned. The DC 10 Constitution saving throw can be rerolled at the end of their next turn.
