The '''Masterhop''' ({{j|ヌシガエル|Nushi Gaeru|Master Frog}}) is an enlarged version of the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]. It is a tough [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', sometimes fought as a [[boss]].

== Behavior ==

Just like the smaller counterpart, Masterhop tries to jump up and fall on the player to crush them and their Pikmin. Notably, similar to the [[Quaggled Mireclops]], if the ground is sandy, the Masterhop can sink the ground below it into puddles of water, making it dangerous to Pikmin without an [[Blue Pikmin|immunity to it]]. The Masterhop will also look at its target before jumping like the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]. This gives you a chance to move away from it before it attacks.

== Locations ==
* On sublevel 4 of the [[Seafloor Resort]], a Masterhop holds the [[Greed-Inducement Device]].
* In [[Giant's Hearth]], 2 Masterhops are located next to eachother inside the area with sprinklers.
* [[Cliff-Hanger's Hold]]
* In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] only, a Masterhop guards a partially buried [[Automatic Gear]] in the [[Serene Shores]].

== Strategy ==
{{guide}}
The Masterhop can be killed by charging Oatchi at it with a big amount of [[Purple Pikmin]], [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[Red Pikmin]]. Alternatively you can freeze it with [[Ice Pikmin]] or an [[Ice Blast]] midair, which will kill it instantly. However if [[Rock Pikmin]] are pounded there is a chance that they will drown due to water puddles scattered in the area.

== Notes ==
==== Dalmo's notes ====
{{transcript|Wiggly elastic skin is the proper fit for this bouncing beauty! Slippery-smooth and shiny-sleek, its skin is soft as a baby's cheeks! Though you might want to be wary of getting close enough to touch it. Just watching it move will make you yearn for skin that is more radiantly lustrous too.|block=y}}

==== Olimar's notes ====
{{transcript|It's widely believed that Yellow Wollyhops and other related species can continue to grow until they start breeding, but after that their growth rate plummets. However, in safe environments—ones that lack natural predators, for example—some individuals of the species may forgo reproduction altogether and continue growing until they reach gigantic proportions.

The Yellow Wollyhop's telomerase enzymes are particularly active, which prevents their bodies' cells from aging. Under the right conditions, it's not unusual for some individuals to reach over 50 years in age.|block=y}}

==== Louie's Notes ====
{{transcript|Meat can be consumed if first dehydrated with a lot of salt. But the eyeballs and the legs are the best parts.|block=y}}

{{transcript|
天敵がいない環境で繁殖活動をすることなく成長を続け、巨大化したダルマイモガエルの長寿個体。条件が合えば50歳を超えることもある。

特徴 その1 若年個体との違い
:捕食に必要な跳躍が維持できる、体高比で2～3倍の大きさまで成長する。
:(Image text: 発達した筋肉で、より高く連続して跳ぶことができる)

特徴 その2 長生きの秘訣
:テロメラーゼという酵素が活発で、体内の細胞の老化を防いでいる。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A long-lived Yellow Wollyhop that continues to grow without reproductive activity in an environment without natural enemies, reaching gigantic proportions. Under the right conditions, it can reach over 50 years in age.

Feature #1: Differences from young specimens
:It grows to two to three times taller, allowing it to maintain the leaping ability necessary for predation.
:(Image text: "Its well-developed muscles allow it to leap higher and in succession")

Feature #2: The secret to their longevity
:The telomerase enzymes are active, preventing their bodies' cells from aging.
:(Image text: "In addition to not reproducing, they pass the winter in warm places without hibernating")
