'''Toadpolis''' are enemies in {{TP}}.  

Toadpolis are armored, two-legged frogs which act very similarly to [[Octorok]]s. A universal trait of all Toadpolis is that they spit projectiles at [[Link]], which he can deflect with his [[Shield]]. If Link comes too close to them, they dive back under the lava or water.

Toadpolis grow into [[Deku Toad]]s after a thousand years.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= When it comes to their designs, the Deku Toad and the Toadpoli have a few things in common.

'''Water Toadpolis'''<ref>{{Cite book|quote= The aquatic versions of the Toadpoli, Water Toadpolis swim faster and spit projectiles|book= Twilight Princess Official Game Guide|publisher= Prima Games|page= 21}}</ref>  can be found swimming in water in the [[Goron Mines]] and in [[Lake Hylia]]. They spit projectiles at Link that can be deflected with the Shield.  

'''Fire Toadpolis'''<ref>{{Cite book|quote= The Fire Toadpoli spits out a fireball that can damage you and knock you off ladders|book= Twilight Princess Official Game Guide|publisher= Prima Games|page= 18}}</ref> can also be found in the Goron Mines, swimming in lava. They spit fireballs at Link that can burn his [[Ordon Shield|Ordon]] or [[Wooden Shield#Twilight Princess|Wooden Shield]]. The fireballs can be sliced with the [[Sword]] and be deflected back at the Fire Toadpoli, defeating it.

 

==Etymology==

Their name may be a combination of the word "toad" and the word "polliwog," which is a synonym for "tadpole."
