Editing Amphituber family

The '''amphituber family''' is a family of frog-like amphibians in all of the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Nearly every member has the ability to crush [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], either by floating upwards and slamming down, or by just jumping. Also similar to frogs, tadpole variants exist, although the only one seen in-game is the [[Wolpole]]. Members belong to the ''Amphicaris'' and ''Volcanus'' genera.

=== Chillyhop ===

The Chillyhop is a variation of the [[Yellow Wollyhop]] found in ''Pikmin 4''. It creates patches of ice when it lands after a jump, which will freeze any Pikmin type other than [[Ice Pikmin]] on contact. Its skin is not icy however, and can be safely attacked by any type of Pikmin. However, it is immune to being frozen.

 

===Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog===

The Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog is a variation of the [[Young Yellow Wollywog]] found in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It has an orange color with dark red markings, and its entire body is lit on fire, meaning it can only be defeated by Red Pikmin. The adult form has never been seen in any ''Pikmin'' game.

 

=== Masterhop ===

 

===Wolpole===

Wolpoles resemble tadpoles, and are in fact the juvenile form of Yellow Wollyhops. Wolpoles are one of the weakest enemies in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]]. In the first game, they only appear in the [[The Forest of Hope]] and [[The Distant Spring]]. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers that run away and only produce one seed when carried to the [[Onion]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', they are found in the [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]] areas, as well as being found in the sublevels of some caves. Also, they can occasionally get out of the water. When they do this, they will flop high in the air and their speed is drastically reduced. The creature's name was previous known as "Wogpole" in North America, but was changed starting with {{p1s}} and {{p2s}} to make it so the offensive term "wog" is not used in any Amphituber species.

The following enemy exists in {{pa}}, and is said in-game to belong to the amphituber family. It is, however, not [[canon]].

 

===Large-Mouth Wollywog===

{{clear}}

Amphituber is a portmanteau of "{{w|amphibian}}", the real world class that frogs are a part of, and "{{w|tuber}}", due to their potato-shaped body. Originally, members of this family used the name "Wollywog" or some variation. The Wollywog name is a likely play on the {{w|pollywog}}, which means tadpole. In the European versions of {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, and {{p3}}, Wollywogs and Wogpoles were renamed to Wollyhops and Wolpoles respectively. It's likely that this is because "{{w|wog}}" is an offensive slur in the United Kingdom and Australia. Starting with the [[Nintendo Switch]] releases of ''[[Pikmin 1 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 1]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Pikmin 2]]'', the European names were brought into all English regions. "hop" references these creatures' powerful leaps.  

''Amphicaris'' is the genus for most members of this family, and comes from "amphibian". ''Volcanus'' is another described genus, and is Latin for volcano, distinguishing the fire-based members from the rest.
