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.

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.

''"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 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}}
