Wogpole

Wogpoles are harmless amphitubers that resemble tadpoles in appearance, and are the young of Yellow Wollywogs. They are typically hard-to-get and yield little reward in that they are fast swimmers which produce only one Pikmin seed when carried to the Onion. While being chased, Wogpoles may sometimes accidentally beach themselves, flopping about helplessly until they land safely back in the water. Wogpoles may also be found on sublevels of certain caves, usually dropping from the ceiling.

In Pikmin 3, their skin is now a teal color instead of dark blue, and they flee directly away from approaching leaders instead of in random directions.

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."

Alph's comments

 * "Structural flaw: weak hide. It's built for one thing: swimming. On everything else, from engaging predators to environmental awareness, it kind of falls apart."

Brittany's comments

 * "You know the saying "It's more afraid of you than you are of it"? This is the only thing on this planet where that feels true. Something about getting close to this creature at all feels like cruelty to animals."

Charlie's comments

 * "Strange how such a scrawny pushover grows up to flatten Pikmin left and right. Then again, maybe it remembers being helpless and holds a grudge."
