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''' are a species of frog-like creatures found in all three [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]] that 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. In the PAL version of ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they are known as "Wollyhops", possibly because the older name could be considered racial or offensive (although unintended).

==Behavior==
===''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 2''===
===Brawl Trophy Description===
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.
The Wollywog is seen as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It reads as follows:


===''Pikmin 4''===
''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.''
{{stub|section=y}}
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==
==Strategy==
====''Pikmin''====
====''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}}}}

Note this strategy can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]].


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.

The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming since throwing is slower in the first game.

====''Pikmin 2''====
====''Pikmin 2''====
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.

=== 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}}

*The [[Shearwig]] and the Wollyhop can inflict the most damage to leaders in ''Pikmin 2'': 40% of their health without the Metal Suit Z, and 20% with the Metal Suit Z.

Again, Wollywogs would mostly be defeated by throwing Pikmin at them. However, in ''Pikmin 3'', Wollywogs will take damage simply by landing on a [[Rock Pikmin]], so Rock Pikmin are therefore the best choice of Pikmin to use on the offense.
