|common    = Wolpole or Wogpole, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Wogpole in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, {{p3}}, {{hp}}, and {{p3d}}, the enemy is called the Wogpole in the American English version and the Wolpole in the British English version.
