The following are notes about the Yellow Wollyhop from other non-game sources.

Pikmin

Pikmin Nintendo Player's Guide

“This fabulous specimen has the brightest gold coloration and the highest number of spots lateral to the eye pit of any member in the amphituber family. This species seems to have lost some swimming proficiency with the evolutionary adaptation that allowed it greater jumping ability. The amphituber inhabits aquatic shallows and shows an instinctive drive to jump upon and squash any smaller moving creatures.”

“The yellow species of wollywog is native to the Distant Spring. The tactics you use to defeat the white variety works just as well on the yellow wollywog.”

Pikmin Nintendo Power booklet

“Wollywogs appear in two varieties: white and yellow. Neither type considers Pikmin to be a food source, but both are equally quick to pounce on any creature caught too close to its personal space.”

“These chunky frog-like creatures leap into the sky and then slam themselves to the ground, crushing anything beneath it. Wollyhops can often jump into the sky when Pikmin are still latched onto them. It takes a swarm of Pikmin to weigh one down enough to stay on the ground.”

“Yellow Wollyhop
Japanese name: Daruma Potato Frog <Potato frog family>
It is characterized by three spots arranged parallel to the eyes and a bright body color. Because they specialize in jumping, they are not very skilled at swimming. They primarily inhabit shallow waters and have a habit of jumping on and crushing anything that moves smaller than them.
Body length: 46mm

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

“Almost always found in the water, the Yellow Wollywog is more vicious than it looks. Toss blues at the beast and be ready to call your troops to your pilot if they are thrown off. The reward for capturing an above-ground Yellow Wollywog is eight Pikmin.”

Pikmin 3

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

“The Yellow Wollywog is a frog-like amphibious creature. This enemy attacks by leaping into the air and crushing its victims. Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by this attack, making them a good option when facing one of these creatures. Because Yellow Wollywogs tend to stick close to water, Blue Pikmin are often your safest alternative.
When you're leading a more diverse squad, toss Red Pikmin or Blue Pikmin onto a Yellow Wollywog to weigh the creature down, then throw your Rock Pikmin at the enemy to deal heavy damage.”

“A kind of frog that reflexively jumps on moving objects smaller than itself and squashes them. It has short legs relative to its body size and is not a good swimmer, so it lives in shallow water or nearby.

Feature #1: Squashing

After jumping up, it inflates its body to keep its balance.

(Image text: "It absorbs the body fluids of the prey it crushes through its skin")

Feature #2: Potato-like body

It has a bright body color with high levels of yellowish pigmentation and three spots that run parallel to the eye.

(Image text: "In order to gain the body weight to crush prey, its body has a large amount of water")

Feature #3: The parent and offspring are separated?

They often live apart from each other in order to avoid accidentally stepping on the larvae.”
