The '''Yellow Wollyhop''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''' [[#Naming|depending on the game and region]]) is a frog-like [[Enemy|enemy]] found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Yellow Wollyhops are large, round, yellow creatures with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Their skin is tinted green towards the top of their heads, with green spots along the sides. They can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of [[water]], but also in moist, [[rain]]y areas.

They are known to leap into the air, floating temporarily, and dropping, with the intent of landing on and [[crushing]] small [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] below, a behavior which is most readily explained as an attempt to drive predators away from developing eggs. According to [[Olimar]]'s notes, these are [[Wolpole]] eggs, revealing that the Yellow Wollyhop and the Wolpole are the same exact species.

===''Pikmin 3''===
Yellow Wollywogs are the only type of wollywogs to appear in this game. They have experienced one notable change: as they inflate their throats to float in midair, they can now float for a small but randomly chosen amount of time, making it less predictable and more urgent to avoid. They also have a 360° field of view, meaning they can detect Pikmin and leaders from behind, unlike in the past two games. However, they cannot crush the newly-introduced Rock Pikmin with their attacks. This is the only game in the series besides ''Hey! Pikmin'' to have them stay as wollywogs instead of changing to wollyhops.

===''Pikmin 4''===
The Yellow Wollyhop and the Wollyhop are very similar in this game, and follow the same move set as in ''Pikmin 3''. However, the Yellow Wollyhop will move in short hops until it gets to jumping range, but the Wollyhop uses large jumps immediately to get around, and have a farther attack range.


===''Hey! Pikmin''===
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
In this game, Yellow Wollywogs passively wander a set area, ignoring Olimar and his Pikmin. They are only found in [[Downpour Thicket]]. Although they ignore him, if Olimar touches one, it will cause him damage, although Pikmin can walk through unscathed. If attacked, a Yellow Wollywog will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.

The Yellow Wollyhop appears as a collectible trophy and as a Smash Tour trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. When used in Smash Tour, it makes the player's character immune to traps on the board, for the current round. The trophy is called "Yellow Wollywog" in the North American version of the game.

|common    = Yellow Wollyhop or Yellow Wollywog, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Yellow 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 Yellow Wollywog in the American English version and the Yellow Wollyhop in the British English version. In {{p1s}}, {{p2s}}, and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Yellow 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 "Yellow" in its name distinguishes it from the regular [[Wollyhop]]. Although the Yellow Wollyhop is the one whose name uses a color identifier to distinguish it from the "common" Wollyhop, the reality is that the Yellow Wollyhop is the common one. This is because the Wolpole grows into a mature Yellow Wollyhop, and there is no tadpole equivalent for the albino Wollyhop, and because this creature's internal name is the one to use the common "frog" name.
