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. | The '''amphituber family''' is a family of frog-like amphibians in all of the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]].

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 | The Chillyhop is a variation of the [[Yellow Wollyhop]] found in ''Pikmin 4''.

Wolpoles resemble tadpoles, and are in fact the juvenile form of | Wolpoles resemble tadpoles, and are in fact the juvenile form of amphitubers. 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. | ||

They are gray and have red eyes with orange feet and an orange underside, and are usually found in watery cave-live areas, such as [[cave]]s and [[The Forest Navel]] in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]. They are defeated in the same manner as Yellow Wollyhops, but are more aggressive, and attack with a jump more readily. The lack of skin coloration is due to living in sunlight-free places. In early Pikmin games, the creature's name was Wollywog in America but since [[Pikmin 1+2]], the creature's name has been changed worldwide to make it so the offensive term "wog" is not used in any Amphituber species. | ||

Yellow Wollyhops are | Yellow Wollyhops are more slender, taller, yellow versions of Wollyhops that live near bodies of water out in the open like in The Distant Spring or Perplexing Pool as opposed to underground areas, though this is not always true. Like Wollyhops, they try to [[crush]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] by jumping into the air. To defeat them, it is best to approach from behind and [[throw]] Pikmin on top, calling them back before the creature falls. In [[Pikmin 1+2]], the name has been changed from "Yellow Wollywog", to make it so the offensive term "wog" is not used in any Amphituber species. | ||

The Large-Mouth Wollywog is the second | The Large-Mouth Wollywog is the second boss fought in ''Pikmin Adventure''. It has eyes on stalks, a large mouth (as the name would imply) and can only be attacked at specific parts of its body at specific parts of the fight (i.e. the tongue at the start of the fight, its cheeks at the middle of the fight, and its back at the end of the fight). The Large Mouth Wollywog does not attack by jumping, but rather by extending its spike-ball-tongue at the player. This tongue will do damage whether or not it is the boss's current weak spot. | ||

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. | 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. It's likely that Wollywogs were renamed to Wollyhops because "wog" is an offensive word in the United Kingdom and Australia. and the Wogpole to Wolpole, in the European versions of {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, and {{p3}}. Starting with the [[Nintendo Switch]] HD rereleases of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', all were renamed to the European variants in all English regions. "hop" references these creatures' powerful leaps. | ||
