'''Wollywogs''' ({{j|マロガエル|Maro gaeru|Marshmallow Frog}}, also known as '''Wollyhops''') 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 European [[Region|version]] of ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin]]'', ''[[New Play Control! Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they are known as "Wollyhops", possibly because British players could find the "wog" in the older name offensive. Nevertheless, ''New Play Control! Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[enemy reel]] leaves the enemy's original name, "Wollywog". | |||

Frequently found in or near a body of water, | Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollywogs 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 Wollywog 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 Wollywog's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a Wollywog 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 Wollywog is weighed down with at least 10 or so Pikmin. | ||
Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollywogs]], Wollywogs jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less [[health]]. | |||
===''Pikmin 2''=== | ===''Pikmin 2''=== | ||
Wollywogs are changed little behaviorally. They are in general slightly weaker than they are in ''Pikmin'', with less hit points, a smaller radius on their attacks, and being easier to weigh down. Also, when one is killed midair, the falling body will not kill any Pikmin beneath it. Because they tend to dwell in darker areas, they are now only found in caves. They actually have more health than Yellow Wollywogs in this game. | |||

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. | ||

[[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 drop 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. | ||

Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably | Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably Purples, onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollywog 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 Wollywog 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 Wollywog, and the fact that Pikmin are invincible when airborne, this is a very viable strategy. | ||

"''Standard Wollywogs are pale because they never get any sun. You'll find them 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.''" | |||
