- This article is about the white frog-like enemy. For the yellow variant, see Yellow Wollywog.
Wollywogs (マロガエル?, lit.: "Marshmallow Frog", also known as Wollyhops) are a species of frog-like creatures found in all three Pikmin games that live in the bowels of subterranean areas. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, they have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance. In the European version of New Play Control! Pikmin, New Play Control! Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 they are known as "Wollyhops", possibly because British players could find the "wog" in the older name offensive. Nevertheless, New Play Control! Pikmin's enemy reel leaves the enemy's original name, "Wollywog".
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.”
Nintendo Player's Guide
"Standard Wollywogs are pale because they never get any sun. You'll find them 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."
Brawl trophy
The Wollywog is seen as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
| File:WollywogTrophy.png | 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.”

Strategy
Pikmin
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.
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 drop 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 on the first game.
Pikmin 2
Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably Purples, onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollywog 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 Wollywog 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 Wollywog, and the fact that Pikmin are invincible when airborne, this is a very viable strategy.
Pikmin 3
Again, Wollywogs would mostly be defeated by throwing Pikmin at them. However, in Pikmin 3, Wollywogs will take damage simply by landing on a Rock Pikmin, so Rock Pikmin are therefore the best choice of Pikmin to use on the offense.
