In the 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 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 caves 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.

Killing Strategy
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.
