The '''Wollyhop''' ({{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru|''Maro'' Frog}}; known as the '''Wollywog''' [[#Naming|depending on the game and region]]) is a frog-like [[enemy]] found in subterranean areas in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, Wollyhops have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance.
'''Wollywogs''' (known as '''Wollyhops''' in the PAL versions of [[New Play Control!]]) are a species of frog-like creatures found in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. These unique creatures tend to live in the bowels of subterranean areas. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, they have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance. They can jump much farther then their yellow cousins. Some consider it to be the most irritating enemy to fight in both games, due to their exceptional ease of crushing large quantities of Pikmin. They possess less defense than [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, potentially making them easier to defeat.

{{refs|note}}
To kill this beast rather easily, try landing a few Purple Pikmin on its back. It will then fall back on the ground to remain stuck until it shakes. When it is stuck there, swarm it with Pikmin for a quick kill. Make sure you don't allow your pikmin to swarm it when it is on low health, as it may jump back into the air, and when it actually dies, fall on your entire pikmin squad, leading to a devastating amount of pikmin deaths.


==Behavior==
Another way to kill a Wollywog is to throw about five to ten pikmin on the Wollywog then when it jumps it will gain damage right before it hits the floor, whistle your pikmin back to you so they don't get shaken off, (pikmin that get shaken off have a high chance of getting killed) then repeat the process and you shouldn't lose any pikmin.
===''Pikmin''===
Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollyhops are slow and stocky creatures. Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. Once on the attack, a Wollyhop will likely not pursue if its target is on the move, rather it will return to its general starting location in short hops. Their attacks are sometimes sudden, and they can shake all attacking Pikmin from their bodies. Upon falling, a Wollyhop's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a Wollyhop is defeated as it is about to fall, any Pikmin caught beneath it will still be killed. Such an attack can be prevented if the Wollyhop is weighed down with at least 10 or so Pikmin.


Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s, Wollyhops jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less [[health]].
===''Pikmin Killing Strategies''===


===''Pikmin 2''===
A way to defeat a Wollywog in Pikmin is to first stand infront of it which should cause the Wollywog to not move from its area, when it is in its standing state, start hurling pikmin at it until it hops up, so when you whistle at your pikmin, they will run toward you before the Wollywog lands. Repeat this until the Wollywog is dead.
Wollyhops are changed little behaviorally. They are much weaker than they are in ''Pikmin''. They are much more stubborn, and will very rarely be weighed down, unless [[Purple Pikmin]] are on top of it. Because they tend to dwell in darker areas, they are now only found in caves. They actually have more health than Yellow Wollyhops in this game, and are much more observant, being able to detect nearby Leaders or Pikmin from any direction.


===''Pikmin 4''===
==Ship Log==
{{stub|section=y}}
Note that there is only one entry for the [[Yellow Wollywog|two species]] of this family.
If a Wollyhop lands on another creature, it will [[crush]] it. Wollyhops will jump as soon as you get close. If two Wollyhops jump against each other, they can crush one another.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/kattegirls/status/1688032230327873537|Video of two Wollyhops crushing one another|Twitter|published={{date|6|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|11|August|2023}}}}


==Strategy==
There is a troublesome creature by the water. It immediately tries to jump on and squish the Pikmin, so if I don't quickly issue commands, the Pikmin get flattened. If they could use their strength to hold the beast down, could it still jump...?
====''Pikmin''====
[[Group move|Swarm]] it with a large group of Pikmin. The more Pikmin are attacking at once, the more likely the Wollywog will be weighed down and unable to jump (50 or more will keep it grounded almost every time). If it does get airborne, call back the Pikmin and get them away from the Wollywog’s shadow (the area where it will land). Re-swarm when it lands. Note this strategy can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] to occur. In reality, Pikmin only need to be touching the Wollywog in order to weigh it down.{{cite youtube|KCDru_6Mx8M|of a Wollywog being weighed down by bomb-rock Pikmin touching it|published={{date|7|June|2022}}|retrieved={{date|10|June|2022}}}}


An alternative method is to get two [[Yellow Pikmin]] and give each a [[bomb-rock]]. [[Throw]] an armed Yellow Pikmin into the Wollywog’s vicinity and the Wollywog will target the Pikmin. When it does, immediately call back the Pikmin and by the time it lands, the bomb-rock will explode next to it. Repeat once more to kill it. In the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version of the game, as Pikmin no longer drops the bomb-rocks when whistled at, a bomb-holding Pikmin must be thrown close to the Wollywog while it is in the air so the Pikmin throws it while it is on the ground.
===''Brawl'' Trophy===
The Wollywog is seen as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It reads as follows:


The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming since throwing is slower in the first game.
''A member of the amphituber family known to be quite quick witted upon spotting enemies, despite its slow- moving, easygoing nature. Be aware that wollywogs will make aggressive attempts to smash Pikmin. It is believed that the Wollywog's whitish coloration is a result of a lack of sunlight over its generations spent in caves.''
 
==Trivia==
====''Pikmin 2''====
*Their scientific name, '''''Amphicaris albino''''', means 'Amphibious Albino'. ''Amphicaris'' is very similar to Amphibious, and ''albino'' is obvious.
Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably [[Purple Pikmin]], onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollyhop to the ground here than in ''Pikmin'', so it is in fact easier to kill. Once again, in the event that it does get off the ground, call the Pikmin back immediately and move them out of the way. An alternate strategy (if you don't have Purple Pikmin) is to use a group of about 10-20 Pikmin and throw all the Pikmin before the Wollyhop takes off. It should become airborne, and the moment it starts to land, recall the Pikmin. Because of the falling speeds of Pikmin and the Wollyhop, and the fact that Pikmin are invincible when airborne, this is a very viable strategy.
*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in Pikmin 1, the Wollywog's code name is "frow".
 
*They can leap from longer distances that anticipated sometimes.
{{Notes|reel=y|olimar=y|louie=y|voyage=y}}
*They were renamed to 'Wollyhop' in Europe's Pikmin 2 for Wii, due to 'wog' being a racial slur.
 
=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{Transcript|With a distinct pallor, almost like it was painted with white face paint, it gives off an air of a performing mime. This cutie can jump with quiet refinement, never moving its plump jowls at all. It's graceful and expressive in the most unexpected ways.|block=y}}
 
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|It is believed that juvenile Wollyhops were once carried by underground currents into caverns, where they thrived in the dark habitat. This troglodytic species of Wollyhop's coloration results from generations of cave dwelling and lack of sunlight.
 
Comparative differences between the size and shape of this Wollyhop and other species are thought to be the result of natural selection at work, choosing traits better suited to life in a subterranean environment.|block=y}}
 
=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{Transcript|Wollyhops are best ground up, shaped into a patty, and flame broiled on a grill. Slap on tomato slices, lettuce, onions, and ketchup, then slide the patty between a sesame-seed bun for the ultimate beast-burger experience.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|This creature's coloration results from remaining sheltered in its cavernous dwelling.|block=y}}
 
{{transcript|When the wollywog hops, keep your Pikmin clear of its shadow, the moment the wollwog lands, use the C Stick to march your Pikmin into the belly-flopper. Rotate the C Stick in circles to ensure that your Pikmin stampede has the wollywog fully surrounded. Around 60 Pikmin can easily make it croak.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Power booklet===
{{transcript|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.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Standard Wollywogs are pale because they never get any sun. You'll find them in underground areas exclusively, and often in the water. Attack the hoppers with small squads of tossed Pikmin. If you swarm them, chances are some of your troops will get squashed.}}
 
===''New Play Control! Pikmin'' European website===
{{transcript|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.}}

{{naming
|common    = Wollyhop or Wollywog, depending on game and version.<br> The enemy is called the Wollywog in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}} and {{npcp2}}, the enemy is called the Wollywog in the American English version and the Wollyhop in the British English version. In [[Pikmin 1+2|the Nintendo Switch Versions of ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'']] and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Wollyhop in both English versions.<br> Although never addressed by Nintendo, it is a common belief among fans that the change was made due to the word "{{w|wog}}" being a racial slur in British and Australian English.<br> The Wollyhop's original name, and its current name by extension, seems to be derived from pollywog, another word for tadpole.
|jpcommon  = {{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru}}. {{j|ガエル|gaeru}} means "frog." {{j|マロ|Maro}} could be interpreted multiple ways. {{j|麻呂|Maro}} is a common name among the {{w|kuge}}, a class of individuals who wear makeup to make their faces pale white. It could also be the tail end of the word {{j|マシュマロ|Mashumaro|Marshmallow|f=tp}}, given that the Wollyhop looks marshmallow-like. Another word it could come from is the front of the word {{j|マロン|Maron}}, meaning "Chestnut."
|jpname    = {{j|マロイモガエル|Maro Imo Gaeru|''Maro'' Potato Frog}}.
|scientific = ''Amphicaris albino''. ''{{w|Albino}}'' refers to the creature's pale skin. In the ''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide, the scientific name is instead ''Amphicaris frodendum'', the same as the Yellow Wollyhop's.
|internal  = In ''Pikmin'', it is internally known as <code>frow</code>, which is <code>frog</code> (the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]'s internal name) but with <code>w</code>, likely short for "white", standing in for the last letter. In ''Pikmin 2'', the internal name is <code>marofrog</code>; "maro" is a part of its Japanese common name.
|prerelease = In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy's genus name is mistakenly the same as the [[Water Dumple]]'s, making its scientific name ''Ichthyosa Albino''.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#044_-_Wollywog|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}
