Clue explained
An eft is the juvenile, land-dwelling stage of certain newts. After hatching and spending time as aquatic larvae, these young newts leave the water; later, they return to it as they mature. In some species, the eft stage is especially easy to spot because the animal’s bright coloring warns predators that it may be toxic.
