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.

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.

=== 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}}

|common    = Wollyhop or Wollywog, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Wollywog in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, {{p3}}, {{hp}}, and {{p3d}}, the enemy is called the Wollywog in the American English version and the Wollyhop in the British English version. In {{p1s}}, {{p2s}}, and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Wollyhop in both English versions. A possible reason for the name change is that the term "{{w|wog}}" is a slur in British and Australian English. 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."
