Scratcher

Hi
What is the meaning of "scratcher" in the following sentences in Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow?

I looked into the water. There in their home medium were the creatures, the polliwogs with fat heads and skinny tails and their budding little scratchers, and the mature animals with eyes like ripe gooseberries, submerged in their slums of ooze.
Thank you for your reply.
