Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion When a compatriot, or you, for that matter, dies, why do you resurrect the tadpole?

I think the tadpole doesn't immediately leave the dead body (as it does with the other dead NPC's) because the emperor has a way to keep them from moving out. The emperor wants you to embrace the power of the tadpoles eventually, so it's only logical they 'll do anything they can to keep you from separating.
