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.
The '''Yellow Wollywog''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(イモガエル) </span>(known as '''Yellow Wollyhops''' in the PAL versions of [[New Play Control!]]) is a frog-like creature found in all three [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. They are large, round, yellow creatures with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Their skin turns green towards the top of their heads, with green spots along the sides. In [[Pikmin 3]], their appearance is very polished, with shiny skin and their green patch and spots much more pronounced. They can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of water. When [[Pikmin family|Pikmin come]] near, they attack by leaping and stopping in midair, then falling onto the Pikmin to crush them. Their behavior is most readily explained as an attempt to drive predators away from developing eggs. In Pikmin 3, their attack is much more realistic looking. In the first two games, the creatures hung in the air with nothing to hold them there. In Pikmin 3, they inflate their throat sacs after leaping, giving them temporary lift.


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.
==Notes==
===Ship's Log===
''"There is a troublesome creature by the water. It immediately tries to jump on and squish the Pikmin, so if I don't quickly issue commands, the Pikmin get flattened. If they could use their strength to hold the beast down, could it still jump?"''


In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is the only mature species of [[Amphituber family|amphituber]]. In these games, they also have a reasoning for their floating ability: their throat inflates, presumably allowing them to float in the air temporarily. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they seem to have slightly increased in size and move slightly faster.
===Reel Notes===
''"After evolution led to the development of its specialized jumping ability, this amphibian actually lost much of its ability to swim."''
===Olimar's Notes===
''"This magnificent specimen has the brightest gold coloration and the greatest number of lateral spots of any member in the amphituber family. This species seems to have lost some swimming proficiency with the evolutionary adaptation that granted it greater jumping ability. The amphituber inhabits aquatic shallows and shows an instinctive drive to jump upon and squash smaller creatures."''

==Behavior==
==Strategies==
===''Pikmin''===
===Pikmin===
Frequently found in or near a body of water, Yellow Wollyhops are moderately sturdy creatures. Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. Once on the attack, a Yellow 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 Yellow Wollyhop's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a Yellow 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.
These dangerous enemies must be dealt with carefully, as one false step could mean the loss of dozens of Pikmin with a single attack. Swarm with as many Pikmin as are on-hand and they should be able to weigh the Wollywog down to the point where it cannot jump; as their health dwindles, Wollywogs can often summon the energy to make a last-ditch leap into the air, so be prepared to call the Pikmin back when its health meter enters the red zone. Any Pikmin hanging onto the Wollywog when it lands will be thrown off and possibly deflowered from the force of the impact, sometimes spelling doom for non-[[Blue Pikmin|blue]] Pikmin if they are knocked into a nearby pool.


===''Pikmin 2''===
===Pikmin 2===
Yellow Wollyhops 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 mid-air, the falling body will not kill any Pikmin beneath it. In this game exclusively, the player can also approach one from behind without it noticing. The albino [[Wollyhop]] however can notice leader and Pikmin from any angle, as long as they are in range.
Yellow Wollywogs are much harder to ground in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', even if numerous Pikmin are thrown onto its back, but swarming can still be an effective strategy, as the radius within which the Wollywog can crush a Pikmin is substantially smaller than in the ''[[Pikmin (game)|first game]]''. [[Purple Pikmin]] will also work exceedingly well when thrown at this beast in large numbers, as each one carries the chance of stunning it, preventing it from fighting back. Be careful though: if the Wollywog jumps while you are throwing, the Pikmin land under the Wollywog, putting them in massive danger. Players should stop throwing just in time for the Wollywog to jump, and continuing the attack when it lands. Even so, often the safety strategy is simply to punch it with [[captain]]s, especially if the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade is available. This is better suited in dungeons, where there is no time limit. Note that if its health is completely depleted while in the air, it falls to ground earlier than usual, crushing any Pikmin below it.
===Pikmin 3===
Yellow Wollywogs only have one method of attacking, and that is by crushing Pikmin. Rock Pikmin are unable to die through this, so it is efficient to use Rock Pikmin against Wollywogs.


===''Pikmin 3''===
==Glitches==
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''===
In [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/The_Final_Trial the Final Trial] in [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Challenge_Mode_(Pikmin) Challenge Mode], there is a [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Yellow_Wollywog Yellow Wollywog] near a pipe. If the Yellow Wollywog jumps on the hole in the pipe, it gets stuck there; it can be coerced into doing so by moving [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Olimar Olimar] onto it. While stuck, the Wollywog cannot be harmed; it remains in its jumping animation and cannot be brought out of it.
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''===
There is more than one glitch with yellow wollywogs. If you kill the yellow wollywog in the path that the bridge will be built in challenge mode and you start making it, the wollywog's body will start "twitching" and fall through the ground. Another minute later, it will reapear near the bridge.
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.


(Note the Yellow Wollywog always looked before it jumps)
There is a glitch in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin's]]'' [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]] that results in the Yellow Wollywog becoming stuck in its jumping animation. Sometimes, in Challenge Mode, when you kill the Yellow Wollywog near the landing site, Pikmin will start to carry it. Sometimes, the Pikmin will be unable to move the corpse of the Wollywog.


==Strategy==
Yet another possible glitch that can occur in the [[Shower Room]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' is when the Wollywog gets stuck in the ground and cannot be killed.

===''Pikmin''===
==Trivia==
These dangerous enemies must be dealt with carefully, as one false step could mean the loss of dozens of Pikmin with a single attack. [[Swarm]] with as many Pikmin as are on-hand and they should be able to weigh the Wollyhop down to the point where it cannot jump; as their [[HP|health]] dwindles, Wollyhops can often summon the energy to make a last-ditch leap into the air, so be prepared to call the Pikmin back when its health meter enters the red zone. Any Pikmin hanging onto the Wollyhop when it lands will be thrown off and possibly deflowered from the force of the impact, sometimes leading to death for non-[[Blue Pikmin|blue]] Pikmin if they are knocked into a nearby pool. Beware, as there is no limit to the number of Pikmin that can die at once.
*The Yellow Wollywog is one of the few enemies in the ''[[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin]]'' series to have a [[Merchandise|figurine]] modeled after it.
 
*The reason why Wollywogs were renamed "Wollyhops" in the PAL re-releases is because "wog" is a racial slur in the PAL region.
The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming, since throwing is slower in the first game without the [[Throw#Swarm trick|swarm trick]].
*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in ''Pikmin'', the Yellow Wollywog's code name is "frog".
 
*In the beta version of ''Pikmin'', Wollywogs were capable of crushing Pikmin as they fall over when slain.
===''Pikmin 2''===
*There is no limit to how many pikmin Yellow Wollywogs can kill in one jump in the first Pikmin game.
Yellow Wollyhops are much harder to ground in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', even if numerous Pikmin are thrown onto its back, but swarming can still be an effective strategy, as the radius within which the Wollyhop can crush a Pikmin is substantially smaller than in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]]. [[Purple Pikmin]] will also work exceedingly well when thrown at this beast in large numbers, as each one carries the chance of stunning it, preventing it from fighting back. Even so, the safer strategy is simply to [[punch]] it with [[leader]]s, especially if the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade is available. However, this method has its own dangers, too. The leaders can get "comboed" by the creatures, getting knocked over when it jumps and, as they are getting back up, again when it lands. Note that if its health is completely depleted while in the air, it falls to the ground earlier than usual, crushing any Pikmin below it.
*It wasn't until ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that there was a slightely more logical explanation to the Yellow Wollywog levitating in the air breifly before dropping down; their throat puffs up which keeps them afloat for a short period of time. Once the air is released, they drop onto your Pikmin.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
Yellow Wollywogs are much easier to defeat in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', because of the inclusion of [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to being crushed. As such, they may be encountered as early as the second day. However, as some are found in water, Blue Pikmin must be used to defeat the water-dwelling Wollywogs. They are even more dangerous as they puff up to crush Pikmin in a larger area. One strategy is to lure them from the water to the shore, then use Rock Pikmin to attack it, whistling them back when you're low on throwable Pikmin.
 
It can be noted that the two Yellow Wollywogs in [[Fortress of Festivity]] on Battle enemies! mode in [[Mission Mode]] are significantly weaker than the average one, and it seems like the [[leader]] or Pikmin must get closer to them than normal to make them attack.
 
===''Hey! Pikmin''===
Because Yellow Wollywogs ignore Olimar at first and only cause to harm to Pikmin unless attacking, taking damage and using the invincibility to walk through is a viable option. If attacked, they will jump directly above Olimar, leaving enough time to walk past. If one wishes to defeat a Yellow Wollywog, throwing Pikmin on top of it and whistling them back before they're thrown off will work, although it will take some time. If the Pikmin are thrown off, depending on the placement of Olimar, the Yellow Wollywog, and the Pikmin (e.g.: Olimar is on one side, the Pikmin on the other, and the creature in the middle), it may be beneficial to not whistle the Pikmin back, to avoid death. The Yellow Wollywog can only kill Pikmin when landing from an attack.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of frog that reflexively jumps on moving objects smaller than itself and squashes them. It has short legs relative to its body size and is not a good swimmer, so it lives in shallow water or nearby.
 
Feature #1: Squashing
:After jumping up, it inflates its body to keep its balance.
:(Image text: "It absorbs the body fluids of the prey it crushes through its skin")
 
Feature #2: Potato-like body
:It has a bright body color with high levels of yellowish pigmentation and three spots that run parallel to the eye.
:(Image text: "In order to gain the body weight to crush prey, its body has a large amount of water")
 
Feature #3: The parent and offspring are separated?
:They often live apart from each other in order to avoid accidentally stepping on the larvae.

==Glitch==
In [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], there is a Yellow Wollyhop near a pipe. If the Yellow Wollyhop jumps on the hole in the pipe, it [[Glitches in Pikmin#Yellow Wollyhop stuck on pipe|gets stuck]] there; it can be coerced into doing so by moving [[Olimar]] onto it. While stuck, the Wollyhop cannot be harmed; it remains in its jumping animation and cannot be brought out of it.
 
==In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''==
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.

==Trivia==
[[File:YellowWollywogToy.jpg|thumb|120px|A Yellow Wollyhop figurine.]]
*The Yellow Wollyhop is one of the few enemies to have a [[Merchandise/Figures|figurine]] modeled after it.
*In a [[Pikmin prerelease information|prototype version]] of ''Pikmin'', Yellow Wollyhops were capable of crushing Pikmin as they fall over when defeated.
*In ''Pikmin 3'', Yellow Wollyhops cannot jump when Winged Pikmin are flying above them. {{cite web|https://twitter.com/pkoctobot/status/1631534551414587392|Twitter post|Twitter|published={{date|3|March|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|March|2023}}}}
