== Appearance ==
Faceless, limbless, slimy creatures that live and grow in pools of caustic brine, these tadpoles infect other living beings to facilitate their transformation into [[mind flayers]], a process known as ceremorphosis. They initiate this process by slithering behind their host's eye, burrowing into their brain.
 
When encountered in cutscenes, these creatures appear to be much larger than the [[Mind Flayer Tadpole|mind flayer tadpoles]] that are truly burrowed behind each True Soul's eyes, despite being the same entities in-game.

A mind flayer tadpole will escape the first [[True Soul]] corpse that is examined. The player will have the choice of harvesting the tadpole from the corpse, or refusing, giving the hostless tadpole the chance to escape. If combat is turned on as it leaves, it can also be killed.
A mind flayer tadpole will escape the first [[True Soul]] corpse that is examined. The player will have the choice of harvesting the tadpole from the corpse, or refusing, giving the hostless tadpole the chance to escape. If combat is turned on as it leaves, it can also be killed.


This can happen while looting the True Soul [[Edowin]] in the [[Forest]], West of the [[Emerald Grove]], [[Flind]] on the [[Risen Road]], or when looting [[Nere]] in the [[Grymforge]].
There are a few possible locations this can happen:
 
* While looting the True Soul [[Edowin]] in the [[Forest]], West of the [[Emerald Grove]].
* Looting [[Nere]] in the [[Grymforge]].
