''' | The '''Wolpole''' ({{j|オタマ|Otama|Tadpole}}), named '''Wogpole''' in [[#Naming|some games]], is a harmless [[enemy]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Wolpoles resemble {{w|tadpole}}s in appearance, and are in fact the larval form of the frog-like [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s. | ||
In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], they only appear in the [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Distant Spring]] areas. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers which produce only one [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] seed when carried to the [[Onion]]. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Wolpoles are found in the [[Awakening Wood]] (being chased by wild [[Blue Pikmin]]) and the [[Perplexing Pool]], as well as the sublevels of certain [[cave]]s where they have the treasure value of merely {{pokos|1}}. While being chased, Wolpoles may sometimes accidentally beach themselves, flopping about helplessly until they land safely back in the water. They may also drop from the ceiling, usually on a dry spot in an otherwise wet level | In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], they only appear in the [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Distant Spring]] areas.

In ''Pikmin 3'', they can be found in the [[Tropical Wilds]], the [[Garden of Hope]], and the [[Distant Tundra]]. Their skin is now a teal color instead of dark blue, and their AI has been refined to run directly away from approaching leaders instead of in random directions. | In ''Pikmin 3'', they can be found in the [[Tropical Wilds]], the [[Garden of Hope]], and the [[Distant Tundra]].

|common = Wolpole. | |common = Wolpole or Wogpole, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Wogpole in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, {{p3}}, {{hp}}, and {{p3d}}, the enemy is called the Wogpole in the American English version and the Wolpole in the British English version. In {{p1s}}, {{p2s}}, and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Wolpole in both English versions. The reason for the name change is that the term "{{w|wog}}" is a slur in British and Australian English. The name is based on the word "pollywog", an alternate name for a {{w|tadpole}}. | ||
