They appear as armored, two-legged frogs who have retained their caudal fins. A universal trait of all Toadpolis is that they spit balls at [[Link]], which he must deflect. If the young hero comes too close to them, they will dive back under whatever they're swimming in.

===Water Toadpoli===
==Nomenclature==
Water Toadpolis can be found in swimming in water in the [[Goron Mines]] and behind the [[Howling Stone]] in [[Lake Hylia]]. They spit rocks at the young hero that can be deflected with a shield. In ''Link's Crossbow Training'', Water Toadpolis appear in the [[Rapids Ride]] level.
Their name may be a combination of the word "Toad" and the word "Polliwog," which is a synonym for "Tadpole".

{{Other Names
Fire Toadpolis can be found early on in the Goron Mines, swimming in lava. They spit molten rock at Link that can burn his [[Ordon Shield]] or [[Wooden Shield#Twilight Princess|Wooden Shield]]. The molten balls in can be sliced with the sword and be deflected back at the Fire Toadpoli, killing it.

==Trivia==
| {{TP}}
*Many believed that Toadpolis were actually [[Octorok]]s in ''Twilight Princess''.
| {{Guide|TP|Prima}}
*Toadpolis also bear an appearance and similar attacks as [[River Zora|Zoras]] in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. They also share some physical similarities to the [[Deku Toad]].
| {{E}}
*Their name may be a combination of the word toad and the word polliwog, which is a synonym for tadpole.
}}
*Both the name and anatomy of Toadpolis seem to imply they're still in a stage of metamorphosis, which may explain their physical similarities with the Deku Toad. According to ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'', "the Deku Toad was meant to depict what a Toadpoli might look like a thousand years in the future."<ref>{{cite book|quote= When it comes to their designs, the Deku Toad and the Toadpoli have a few things in common. This is because the Deku Toad was meant to depict a Toadpoli might look like a thousand years in the future. |book= [[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher= Dark Horse Books|page= 193}}</ref>
