Editing Yellow Wollyhop

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 to have them stay as wollywogs instead of changing to wollyhops.

In this game, Yellow Wollyhops 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 Wollyhop will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.

(Note the Yellow Wollyhop always looked before it jumps)

Yellow Wollyhops 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 Wollyhops. 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 Wollyhops 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.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===

{{transcript|Don't think of it as unexciting! This critter's simplicity is quite refreshing. Should you raise one from a Wolpole, you would certainly learn to adore it. The adults of the species can be a bit standoffish though!}}

|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.

|scientific = This species was originally classified as ''amphicaris frodendum''. This was also shared with the Wolpole. Starting in the [[Pikmin 2 (Nintendo Switch)|Switch port of ''Pikmin 2'']], the species name for both was changed to ''frondiferorum''. Both are similar to the latin word ''frondeum'', which means "leaf-like", which may refer to the green top of the Yellow Wollyhop, or the tail of the Wolpole.
