Interactions

Act One

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.

There are a few possible locations this can happen:

Act Two

While at Moonrise Towers, the player can come across several tadpoles. Both living and dead tadpoles are released from the Zhentarim Shipping Crate on the docks, if it is destroyed. Unless destroyed in turn-based mode, the living tadpole will scurry away rapidly and disappear in a puff of smoke.

Just around the rim of the towers, Steelclaw will be playing with a dead tadpole that he still regards as living prey.
