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. | 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|enemy]] found in subterranean areas in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}.

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}}}} | If a Wollyhop lands on another creature, it will [[crush]] it.

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. | Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably [[Purple Pikmin]], onto its back.

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. | === 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.

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. | ||
