The '''Yellow Wollyhop''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''' in [[#Naming|some games]]) is a frog-like [[Enemy|enemy]] found in the [[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 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.

Yellow Wollywogs 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.

(Note the Yellow Wollyhop always looked before it jumps)

The Yellow Wollywog 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. The 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.
