[quote=FrumpkisStill doesn't explain how the tadpole prevents being physically removed after death.
Raise dead can heal head wounds.
Oh, that's easy. The tadpoles are telepathically linked among the party, and we know from that one cutscene that they can influence our actions, with that bit about trying to stop the PC from crushing the tadpole. So they just collectively prevent the party from trying to cut out the tadpole from a dead host before resurrection, using mind control.
Still pretty lame, I know, but it closes the plot hole using information already shown in the game, and it's better than "we're special."
