'''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.

Wogpoles are enemies in the Pikmin games. They resemble tadpoles in appearance, and are in fact the larval form of the frog-like Yellow Wollywogs. In 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 only give out one Pikmin seed when carried to the Onion. In Pikmin 2, Wogpoles are found in the Awakening Wood (being chased by your newly discovered Blue Pikmin) and the Perplexing Pool, 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. 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.

These creatures are called Wolpoles in New Play Control! Pikmin 2.

Notes

Reel notes

This creature appears to be a newborn yellow wollywog in tadpole form.

Olimar's notes

The wollywog spawns in early spring, laying its eggs on low-hanging tree branches and shrubs growing in or near lakes and ponds. Such unorthodox amphibious behavior is a defense mechanism, protecting the eggs from predation by blue Pikmin and water dumples. The wollywog's wild hopping near the shoreline in early spring is thought to be a method of driving predators away from the wogpole eggs.

Louie's notes

Wogpoles can be eaten raw, but they're much more flavorful when steamed or grilled. Also heavenly in risotto! Feel free to experiment with this lush ingredient.

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. 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.
