Tadpoles were added to the game with the 1.19 update. These are baby versions of frogs that spawn from Frogspawn eggs. After the eggs hatch, tadpoles have a limited time before turning into frogs.

However, they are much more adorable than their adult counterparts. Tadpoles are tiny and cute to look at. They can even be kept in a bucket of water to prevent them from growing into frogs.
