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 | Yellow Wollywogs are the only type of wollywogs to appear in this game.

Yellow | 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. | |||

|common = Yellow Wollyhop or Yellow Wollywog, depending on game and version. | |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. | ||
