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, the Masterhop can sink the ground below it into puddles of water, making it dangerous to Pikmin without an immunity to it.

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."
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."
Naming
The Masterhop's name comes from "master" and Yellow Wollyhop.
