{{name|plural}} are [[fish]] that live in the rivers throughout Qud. They specialize in [[dismember]]ing enemies and have an aggressive base demeanor, meaning that a creature must have greater than +250 reputation for them to not attack.

On every attack by a {{name}}, the defending creature must make a [[Agility]] [[save]] of difficulty 15. If this fails, the creature will be [[latched onto]] by the {{name}} for {{dice tooltip|3d4}} turns, giving the {{name}} and additional attack on the creature every turn and requiring a strength save of 15 every time the creature attempts to move. The creature must successfully [[save]] with [[strength]], difficulty 15 in order to break free from their jaws.<ref><code>XRL.World.Parts.LatchesOn</code></ref> In combination of [[berserk (effect)|berserk]], this makes dismembering two limbs in one turn possible.

If they become covered in {{favilink|blood}} or enter a cell that contains {{favilink|blood}}, the {{name}} will go [[Berserk (effect)|berserk]] for 10 turns. <ref><code>XRL.World.Parts.Madpole</code></ref>

~~If they become covered in {{favilink|blood}} or enter a cell that contains {{favilink|blood}}, the {{name}} will go [[Berserk (effect)|berserk]] for 10 turns.~~ This will give them a 100% chance to [[dismember]] with their jaws. Since the bleeding is usually from losing a limb in the first place, a swarm of madpoles will make quick work of any creature.

This will give them a 100% chance to [[dismember]] with their jaws. Since the bleeding is usually from losing a limb in the first place, a swarm of madpoles will make quick work of any creature.

==Tips==

* After clearing {{favilink|golgotha}} and receiving the {{favilink|scoped masterwork carbine}}, madpoles can be easily killed from a distance. Due to their high level, they become a good source of [[experience]] in the mid to late game.
