''' | 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.

One way to catch it mid-chase is to [[Group move|extend]] your Pikmin group into a line such that the creature swims into the line. This does not necessarily mean it will be hurt, though. If any Wolpoles are on land (such as in the Shower Room, where they drop from the ceiling), they can easily be attacked with any Pikmin, though their floundering can make the process slower. | One way to catch it mid-chase is to [[Group move|extend]] your Pikmin group into a line such that the creature swims into the line.

If the Wolpole is not killed in time, it will eventually flop its way back into water and swim to its spawning location, regardless if it is being chased or not, making it even easier to defeat than the original Wolpole with Blue Pikmin. It might also stand still for a while, granting an opportunity for a [[charge]]. | ||
