Notes

• Since this foe isn't designed to be beaten, and therefore yields no experience.
• If you do 100 or more damage, you pop an egg with the following message:

One of the eggs pops open, revealing a hungry, hungry tadpole. Normally, this would only be concerning to algae, but this particular tadpole is about your size... and clearly carnivorous.

• Each round there is a status message that depends on how many eggs you've popped so far, N being the number of eggs popped at the start of the round:

The tadpole is hungry like the wolf, so it circles you like the wolf and is ready to take a bite out of you like the wolf. (0 or 1 egg popped)

The tadpoles swim around you, taking experimental nibbles out of you for [100 * (N^2 + N) / 2] damage. (2 or more eggs popped)

Starting at the 4th egg popped, you also get the line:

The egg mass is getting smaller by the minute. Maybe the future can be changed after all...

• Each egg popped creates a voracious tadpole. After either running away or being defeated you have to defeat all the tadpoles in order to find the Eggy Weggs? non-combat again.
