Tadpole

Mario crossing the bridge of Tadpoles to get to Frogfucius' small island in the middle of Tadpole Pond.

Tadpoles are the early forms of frogs or toads that appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. For a while, Prince Mallow thought that he was a Tadpole, having been raised as one by Frogfucius and surrounded by other Tadpoles, however; he turned out to be a cloud creature from Nimbus Land.

The Tadpoles are visited by Mario once at Tadpole Pond, when the hero meets Frogfucius. The Tadpoles mainly serve as a bridge to allow Mario to cross over the pond. A pair of Tadpoles started shops in the western part of Tadpole Pond. One made a Frog Coin Emporium, while the other started a Juice Bar. Both sell rare and helpful items, most obtainable nowhere else in the game.
