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]]'', Wogpoles 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, Wogpoles 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. As a side note, the Wogpoles in ''Pikmin'' seem to be closer to maturation than those in ''Pikmin 2'', as the legs near their tails are present. | 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]].

The name "Wogpole" is a combination of "wog", from "[[wikipedia:Pollywog|pollywog]]" (like other [[Amphituber family|amphituber]]s), and "tadpole". Because the term "wog" is seen as an offensive slur in the United Kingdom, the European versions of ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' call the creature "Wolpole". A similar change was made to the names of the [[Wollywog]] and [[Yellow Wollywog]]. In Japan, its name is {{j|オタマ|Otama}}, which literally means "tadpole". In its scientific name, ''amphicaris frodendum'', ''amphicaris'' is the genus for the [[Amphituber]] family, and likely comes from "[[wikipedia:Amphibian|amphibian]]", the real world class that frogs are a part of. ''Frodendum'' is similar to the Latin word ''frondeum'', which means "leaf-like". This could be referring to its leaf-like tail. The internal name in ''Pikmin'' is the same as the Japanese name, <code>otama</code>, and the ''Pikmin 2'' ID is the same as the English translation, <code>tadpole</code>. | The name "Wogpole" is a combination of "wog", from "[[wikipedia:Pollywog|pollywog]]" (like other [[Amphituber family|amphituber]]s), and "tadpole".
