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.

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.

 

 

 

**There are four Wollyhops in this area. Three Wollyhops can be found in the large body of water towards the south-western part of the map, where the [[Anti-Dioxin Filter]] is discovered. One of the three Wollyhops will be near the shore and the other two Wollyhops will be near the large bottle. The fourth Wollyhop is located on the slope leading to the [[Puffstool]]'s arena, next to the line of [[fire geyser]]s.

**One can be seen on sublevel 4, holding the [[Unknown Merit]].

**There are two Wollyhops on sublevel 3. The first Wollyhop is located in the section west from the initial base, the section the [[dirt wall]] leading to the next sublevel entrance is in. The second Wollyhop can be found towards the north of the sublevel, in the large body of water alongside a half-buried [[Child of the Earth]]. It is north of the sublevel's alternative base, guarded by a [[Withering Blowhog]].

**There are two Wollyhops on sublevel 2, and they are both located close to each other. They are both located in the segment north-west from the base, alongside a pile of 15 [[raw material]]s.

**There are two Wollyhops in this challenge. The first Wollyhop is located in the northwestern most section, where the [[Shake-a-Smile]] is. The second Wollyhop can be found in the section directly east from the base, on the opposite side of the [[electric gate]] along with a pile of 50 [[Gold Nugget]]s.

**There are two Wollyhops found in the [[4th Story: Dandori Seas]]. One is located on the island towards the northwest, near the three [[Cupid's Grenade]]s and the [[Stellar Extrusion]]. The other can be found slightly south from the previous Wollyhop, in the section surrounded by two dirt walls. It is near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and east from the [[Dusk Pustules]].

[[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.

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

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.

 

Ride on [[Oatchi]] and use a charge to send all of your Pikmin onto the Wollyhop, or continuously throw [[Rock Pikmin]] at it if the terrain is soft, but keep in mind strategies from the first two games work here too, as well as the [[Yellow Wollyhop]] strategies.

{{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.}}

The Wollyhop appears as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

|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."

|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.

*The Wollyhop and an alternate version with a [[crystal]] under its stomach were meant to appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', but their data remains [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused]].

*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.
