Revision as of 22:32, 1 May 2013
Wogpole is an enemy and are completely harmless in the Pikmin games. It resembles tadpoles in appearance, and is in fact the larval form of the frog-like Wollywogs.They turn into the Wollywogs and yellow Wollywogs. 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. As a side note, the Wogpoles in Pikmin 1 seem to be in early stages of development as opposed to those in Pikmin 2, as external gills near their heads are present.
These creatures are called Wolpoles in the New Play Control! Pikmin 2 released in PAL.
In Pikmin 3 their design has been changed a bit, probably due to the HD quality. They now have visibly wet skin, along with spots on their heads and wider, more bulging eyes. The latter-most feature may be due to the wogpoles development, as their small heads now resemble the bulging eyes of their parents.
Notes
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.
