'''Wolpoles''' ({{j|オタマ|Otama|Tadpole}}; known as '''Wogpoles''' in North America until the [[Switch]] ports of ''[[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 1]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 2]]'' and in Europe until [[New Play Control! Pikmin]]) are harmless enemies in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They resemble {{w|tadpole}}s in appearance, and are in fact the larval form of the frog-like [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s. | '''Wolpoles''' ({{j|オタマ|Otama|Tadpole}}; known as '''Wogpoles''' in North America until the [[Switch]] ports of ''[[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 1]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 2]]'' and in Europe until [[New Play Control!

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.

As a side note, the Wogpoles in ''Pikmin'' seem to be younger than those in later games, due to the presence of external gills. | ||
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]].
