Wolpole: Difference between revisions

'''Wogpole''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]. It resembles [[Wikipedia:tadpole|tadpoles]] in appearance, and is in fact the larval form of the frog-like [[Amphituber|Wollywogs]].They turn into the Wollywogs and yellow Wollywogs. In the ''[[Pikmin (game)|first game]]'', it only appears in the [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Distant Spring]] areas. It is typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that it is a fast swimmer which only give out one [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] seed when carried to the [[Onion]]. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Wogpoles are found in the [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]] areas, as well as the sublevels of certain [[cave]]s where they have a measly treasure value of one [[poko]]. While being chased, Wogpoles may sometimes accidentally beach themselves, flopping about helplessly until they land safely back in the water. They may also drop from the ceiling. As a side note, the Wogpoles in ''Pikmin 1'' seem to be closer to maturation than those in ''Pikmin 2'', as the legs near their tails are present.

These creatures are called Wolpoles in the ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]''.

Although they constantly swim away from [[captains]], Wogpoles will occasionally stop for a few seconds when only chased by Pikmin, giving the Pikmin a chance to attack making the best strategy to spread out your Pikmin in a line using the c stick and charge at them so they pass through the line of Pikmin and the Pikmin begin to chase it. Wogpoles themselves can't attack, but they can cause flower Pikmin to lose their petals when they shake the predators off. Since they only yield one Pikmin seed when retrieved, they're almost always more trouble than they're worth.
