|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."
|jpcommon  = {{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru}}. {{j|ガエル|gaeru}} means "frog", and {{j|マロ|Maro}} is a common name among the {{w|kuge}}, a class of individuals who wear makeup to make their faces pale white. It may also incorporate {{j||maro|circle|f=tp}}, referring to its shape compared to the Yellow Wollyhop.

|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.
