Behavior
Just like the smaller counterpart, Masterhop tries to jump up and fall on the player to crush them and their Pikmin. Notably, similar to the Quaggled Mireclops, if the ground is sandy, the Masterhop can sink the ground below it into puddles of water, making it dangerous to Pikmin without an immunity to it. The Masterhop will also look at its target before jumping like the Yellow Wollyhop. This gives you a chance to move away from it before it attacks.
Locations
- On sublevel 4 of the Seafloor Resort, a Masterhop holds the Greed-Inducement Device.
- In Giant's Hearth, 2 Masterhops are located next to eachother inside the area with sprinklers.
- Cliff-Hanger's Hold
- In Olimar's Shipwreck Tale only, a Masterhop guards a partially buried Automatic Gear in the Serene Shores.
Strategy
|
The following article or section contains guides. |
The Masterhop can be killed by charging Oatchi at it with a big amount of Purple Pikmin, Rock Pikmin or Red Pikmin. Alternatively you can freeze it with Ice Pikmin or an Ice Blast midair, which will kill it instantly. However if Rock Pikmin are pounded there is a chance that they will drown due to water puddles scattered in the area.
Notes
Dalmo's Notes
"Wiggly elastic skin is the proper fit for this bouncing beauty! Slippery-smooth and shiny-sleek, it's skin is soft as a baby's cheeks! Though you might want to be wary of getting close enough to touch it. Just watching it move will make you yearn for skin that is more radiantly lustrous too.
Olimar's Notes
"It's widely believed that Yellow Wollyhops and other related species can continue to grow until they start breeding, but after that their growth rate plummets. However, in safe environments—ones that lack natural predators, for example—some individuals may forgo reproduction altogether and continue growing until they reach gigantic proportions.
The Yellow Wollyhop’s telomerase enzymes are particularly active, which prevents their bodies’ cells from aging. Under the right conditions, it’s not unusual for some individuals to reach over 50 years in age."
Louie's Notes
"Meat can be consumed if first dehydrated with a lot of salt. But the eyeballs and the legs are the best part."
