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]].

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}}}}

==Locations==
===''Pikmin''===
====Areas====
*[[The Forest Navel]]
**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.

===''Pikmin 4''===
====Caves====
*[[Engulfed Castle]]
**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]].
*[[Cradle of the Beast]]
**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.
====Dandori Challenge====
*[[Cliff-Hanger's Hold]]
**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.
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]
**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]].

====''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.

====''Pikmin 4''====
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.

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.
