Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollyhops are slow and stocky creatures. Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. Once on the attack, a 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 Wollyhop's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a 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. | Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollyhops are slow and stocky creatures.

Wollyhops are changed little behaviorally. They are much weaker than they are in ''Pikmin''. They are much more stubborn, and will very rarely be weighed down, unless [[Purple Pikmin]] are on top of it. Because they tend to dwell in darker areas, they are now only found in caves.

**There are two Wollyhops on sublevel 3. The first Wollyhop is located in the section west from the initial base, the section the [[dirt wall]] leading to the next sublevel entrance is in. The second Wollyhop can be found towards the north of the sublevel, in the large body of water alongside a half-buried [[Child of the Earth]]. It is north of the sublevel's alternative base, guarded by a [[Withering Blowhog]]. | |||
*[[Cradle of the Beast]] | |||

*[[Cliff-Hanger's Hold]] | |||
**There are two Wollyhops in this challenge. The first Wollyhop is located in the northwestern most section, where the [[Shake-a-Smile]] is. The second Wollyhop can be found in the section directly east from the base, on the opposite side of the [[electric gate]] along with a pile of 50 [[Gold Nugget]]s. | |||
*[[Trial of the Sage Leaf]] | |||
**There are two Wollyhops found in the [[4th Story: Dandori Seas]]. One is located on the island towards the northwest, near the three [[Cupid's Grenade]]s and the [[Stellar Extrusion]]. The other can be found slightly south from the previous Wollyhop, in the section surrounded by two dirt walls. It is near a [[Fiery Blowhog]] and east from the [[Dusk Pustules]]. | |||

Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably [[Purple Pikmin]], onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollyhop to the ground here than in ''Pikmin'', so it is in fact easier to kill. Once again, in the event that it does get off the ground, call the Pikmin back immediately and move them out of the way. An alternate strategy (if you don't have Purple Pikmin) is to use a group of about 10-20 Pikmin and throw all the Pikmin before the Wollyhop takes off. It should become airborne, and the moment it starts to land, recall the Pikmin.

Ride on [[Oatchi]] and use a charge to send all of your Pikmin onto the Wollyhop, or continuously throw [[Rock Pikmin]] at it if the terrain is soft, but keep in mind strategies from the first two games work here too, as well as the [[Yellow Wollyhop]] strategies. | |||

- This article is about the white frog-like enemy. For the yellow variant, see Yellow Wollyhop.
The Wollyhop (マロガエル?, lit.: "Maro Frog"; known as the Wollywog depending on the game and region) is a frog-like enemy found in subterranean areas in Pikmin, Pikmin 2, and Pikmin 4. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, Wollyhops have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance.

Behavior[edit]
Pikmin[edit]
Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollyhops are slow and stocky creatures. Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. Once on the attack, a 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 Wollyhop's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a 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.
Compared to their counterparts, the Yellow Wollyhops, Wollyhops jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less health.
Pikmin 2[edit]
Wollyhops are changed little behaviorally. They are much weaker than they are in Pikmin. They are much more stubborn, and will very rarely be weighed down, unless Purple Pikmin are on top of it. Because they tend to dwell in darker areas, they are now only found in caves. They actually have more health than Yellow Wollyhops in this game, and are much more observant, being able to detect nearby Leaders or Pikmin from any direction.

The second Wollyhop can be found towards the north of the sublevel, in the large body of water alongside a half-buried Child of the Earth. It is north of the sublevel's alternative base, guarded by a Withering Blowhog.
- Cradle of the Beast
- There are two Wollyhops on sublevel 2, and they are both located close to each other. They are both located in the segment north-west from the base, alongside a pile of 15 raw materials.
Dandori Challenge[edit]
- Cliff-Hanger's Hold
- There are two Wollyhops in this challenge. The first Wollyhop is located in the northwestern most section, where the Shake-a-Smile is. The second Wollyhop can be found in the section directly east from the base, on the opposite side of the electric gate along with a pile of 50 Gold Nuggets.
- Trial of the Sage Leaf
- There are two Wollyhops found in the 4th Story: Dandori Seas. One is located on the island towards the northwest, near the three Cupid's Grenades and the Stellar Extrusion. The other can be found slightly south from the previous Wollyhop, in the section surrounded by two dirt walls. It is near a Fiery Blowhog and east from the Dusk Pustules.
Strategy[edit]
Pikmin[edit]
Swarm it with a large group of Pikmin. The more Pikmin are attacking at once, the more likely the Wollywog will be weighed down and unable to jump (50 or more will keep it grounded almost every time). If it does get airborne, call back the Pikmin and get them away from the Wollywog’s shadow (the area where it will land). Re-swarm when it lands. Note this strategy can cause the crushing glitch to occur. In reality, Pikmin only need to be touching the Wollywog in order to weigh it down.[2]
An alternative method is to get two Yellow Pikmin and give each a bomb-rock. Throw an armed Yellow Pikmin into the Wollywog’s vicinity and the Wollywog will target the Pikmin. When it does, immediately call back the Pikmin and by the time it lands, the bomb-rock will explode next to it. Repeat once more to kill it. In the New Play Control! version of the game, as Pikmin no longer drops the bomb-rocks when whistled at, a bomb-holding Pikmin must be thrown close to the Wollywog while it is in the air so the Pikmin throws it while it is on the ground.
The alternative strategy mentioned for Pikmin 2 also works here, but it takes longer than swarming since throwing is slower in the first game.
Pikmin 2[edit]
Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably Purple Pikmin, onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollyhop to the ground here than in Pikmin, so it is in fact easier to kill. Once again, in the event that it does get off the ground, call the Pikmin back immediately and move them out of the way. An alternate strategy (if you don't have Purple Pikmin) is to use a group of about 10-20 Pikmin and throw all the Pikmin before the Wollyhop takes off. It should become airborne, and the moment it starts to land, recall the Pikmin. Because of the falling speeds of Pikmin and the Wollyhop, and the fact that Pikmin are invincible when airborne, this is a very viable strategy.
Pikmin 4[edit]
Ride on Oatchi and use a charge to send all of your Pikmin onto the Wollyhop, or continuously throw Rock Pikmin at it if the terrain is soft, but keep in mind strategies from the first two games work here too, as well as the Yellow Wollyhop strategies.
Notes
Olimar's voyage 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...?”
Reel notes
“This creature's coloration results from remaining sheltered in its cavernous dwelling.”
Olimar's notes
“It is believed that juvenile wollywogs were once carried by underground current into caverns, where they thrived in the dark habitat. This troglodytic species of wollywog's coloration results from generations of cave dwelling and lack of sunlight. Comparative differences between the size and shape of this wollywog and other species are thought to be the result of natural selection at work, choosing traits better suited to life in a subterranean environment.”
Louie's notes
“Wollywogs are best ground up, shaped into a patty, and flame-broiled on a grill. Slap on tomato slices, lettuce, onions, ketchup, and slide the patty between a sesame-seed bun for the ultimate beast-burger experience.”
Dalmo's notes[edit]
“With a distinct pallor, almost like it was painted with white face paint, it gives off an air of a performing mime. This cutie can jump with quiet refinement, never moving its plump jowls at all. It's graceful and expressive in the most unexpected ways.”

Pikmin Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]
“This creature's coloration results from remaining sheltered in its cavernous dwelling.”
“When the wollywog hops, keep your Pikmin clear of its shadow, the moment the wollwog lands, use the C Stick to march your Pikmin into the belly-flopper. Rotate the C Stick in circles to ensure that your Pikmin stampede has the wollywog fully surrounded. Around 60 Pikmin can easily make it croak.”
Pikmin Nintendo Power booklet[edit]
“Wollywogs appear in two varieties: white and yellow. Neither type considers Pikmin to be a food source, but both are equally quick to pounce on any creature caught too close to its personal space.”
Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]
“Standard Wollywogs are pale because they never get any sun. You'll find them in underground areas exclusively, and often in the water. Attack the hoppers with small squads of tossed Pikmin. If you swarm them, chances are some of your troops will get squashed.”
New Play Control! Pikmin European website[edit]
“These chunky frog-like creatures leap into the sky and then slam themselves to the ground, crushing anything beneath it. Wollyhops can often jump into the sky when Pikmin are still latched onto them. It takes a swarm of Pikmin to weigh one down enough to stay on the ground.”
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
The Wollyhop appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Description:
“A member of the amphituber family known to be quite quick witted upon spotting enemies, despite its slow-moving, easygoing nature. Be aware that wollywogs will make aggressive attempts to smash Pikmin. It is believed that the wollywog's whitish coloration is a result of a lack of sunlight over its generations spent in caves.

Naming[edit]
- See more: Amphituber family#Naming.
- Common name: Wollyhop or Wollywog, depending on game and version.
The enemy is called the Wollywog in both American English and British English versions of Pikmin and Pikmin 2, but in New Play Control! Pikmin and New Play Control! Pikmin 2, the enemy is called the Wollywog in the American English version and the Wollyhop in the British English version. In the Nintendo Switch Versions of Pikmin and Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4, the enemy is called the Wollyhop in both English versions.
Although never addressed by Nintendo, it is a common belief among fans that the change was made due to the word "wog" being a racial slur in British and Australian English.
The Wollyhop's original name, and its current name by extension, seems to be derived from pollywog, another word for tadpole. - Japanese nickname: マロガエル?. ガエル? means "frog." マロ? could be interpreted multiple ways. 麻呂? is a common name among the kuge, a class of individuals who wear makeup to make their faces pale white. It could also be the tail end of the word マシュマロ? (lit.: "Marshmallow"), given that the Wollyhop looks marshmallow-like. Another word it could come from is the front of the word マロン?, meaning "Chestnut."
- Japanese name: マロイモガエル?, lit.: "Maro Potato Frog".
- Scientific name: Amphicaris albino. Albino refers to the creature's pale skin. In the Pikmin Nintendo Player's Guide, the scientific name is instead Amphicaris frodendum, the same as the Yellow Wollyhop's.
- Internal names: In Pikmin, it is internally known as
frow, which isfrog(the Yellow Wollyhop's internal name) but withw, likely short for "white", standing in for the last letter. In Pikmin 2, the internal name ismarofrog; "maro" is a part of its Japanese common name. - Prerelease: In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy's genus name is mistakenly the same as the Water Dumple's, making its scientific name Ichthyosa Albino.[3]
