The Fiery Young Yellow Wollywog (Fiery Young Yellow Wollyhop in the European version, ヤキコイモガエル^?, lit.: "Sizzling Young Potato Frog") is an enemy, being a fiery variation of the Young Yellow Wollywog. It acts exactly the same as the standard Young Yellow Wollywog, and looks similar, having the same small stature but with an orange body, red eyes and a magmatic top unlike its regular variant's smooth green top. It is also perpetually on fire, meaning Red Pikmin are required to defeat it. By name it is the transitional stage between its tadpole and adult stages, though those stages are never seen.

Behavior

Just like the Young Yellow Wollywog it will simply jump forward, crushing Pikmin that it lands on. When it reaches a wall, it will change directions. Because of its immunity to fire, it can travel through fire geysers safely, unlike its non-fiery counterpart.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

“Somehow, this type of Yellow Wollywog evolved to survive being on fire. It's a useful mutation, to be sure, but getting there must have been painful.”
