The '''Wollyhop''' ({{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru|''Maro'' Frog}}; known as the '''Wollywog''' [[#Naming|depending on the game and region]]) is a frog-like [[enemy]] found in subterranean areas in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, Wollyhops have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance.

Like the [[Yellow Wollyhop]], the Wollyhop is also a large creature with large eyes and beady pupils, with short front legs and larger hind legs. However, unlike the Yellow Wollyhop, their albino body is much more flatter, their eyes are crimson in color, and instead of having a few spots along its side, it has multiple smaller ones across its backside. The tips of the Wollyhop's toes are also white, matching their body. Additionally, the Wollyhop has a small tail, something the Yellow Wollyhop lacks.

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 multiple Pikmin; they can be quite stubborn in the later games.

Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s, Wollyhops jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. If a Wollyhop manages to land on another enemy, including another Wollyhop, the Wollyhop capable of crushing it.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/kattegirls/status/1688032230327873537|Video of two Wollyhops crushing one another|Twitter|published={{date|6|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|11|August|2023}}}}
Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, Wollywogs jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less [[health]].
 
=== ''Pikmin 2'' ===
Wollywogs 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 Wollywogs in this game, and are much more observant, being able to detect nearby Leaders or Pikmin from any direction.

If a Wollyhop lands on another creature, it will [[crush]] it. Wollyhops will jump as soon as you get close. If two Wollyhops jump against each other, they can crush one another.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/kattegirls/status/1688032230327873537|Video of two Wollyhops crushing one another|Twitter|published={{date|6|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|11|August|2023}}}}

**There are four Wollyhops in this area. Three Wollyhops can be found in the large body of water towards the south-western part of the map, where the [[Anti-Dioxin Filter]] is discovered. One of the three Wollyhops will be near the shore and the other two Wollyhops will be near the large bottle. The fourth Wollyhop is located on the slope leading to the [[Puffstool]]'s arena, next to the line of [[fire geyser]]s.

==== ''Pikmin'' ====
[[Group move|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 [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] to occur. In reality, Pikmin only need to be touching the Wollywog in order to weigh it down.{{cite youtube|KCDru_6Mx8M|of a Wollywog being weighed down by bomb-rock Pikmin touching it|published={{date|7|June|2022}}|retrieved={{date|10|June|2022}}}}


=== With Pikmin ===
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.
In ''Pikmin'', [[swarming]] with a large [[squad]] of Pikmin is an ideal strategy; the more Pikmin are attacking at once, the more likely the Wollyhop 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 Wollyhops shadow (the area where it will land). Re-swarm when it lands. Note this strategy can cause the [[Glitches in Pikmin#Crushing glitch|crushing glitch]] to occur. In reality, Pikmin only need to be touching the Wollyhops in order to weigh it down.{{cite youtube|KCDru_6Mx8M|of a Wollywog being weighed down by bomb-rock Pikmin touching it|published={{date|7|June|2022}}|retrieved={{date|10|June|2022}}}}. In ''Pikmin 2'', making use of the [[Purple Pikmin]]'s slam attack is useful, as they are capable of dealing large amounts of damage with the chance to stun it briefly. Swarming is less effective in this game, so you should be [[throw]]ing your Pikmin instead. When the Wollyhop is airborne, [[whistle]] your Pikmin off before it lands, so they don't fly off and potentially lose their [[maturity]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', [[Rock Pikmin]] are very ideal given their [[crushing|crush]] immunity; you can just leave them to it without worrying about them losing.


=== Alternative methods ===
The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming since throwing is slower in the first game.
[[Oatchi]] is quite useful if he has some basic [[gear]] equipped and is decently upgraded. You could just leave Oatchi to dispatch the Wollyhop alone, the only main risk of damage comes from the Wollyhop landing on Oatchi. [[Rush]]ing into one can deal significant damage.


Similar to its yellow counterpart, the Wollyhop could be [[punch]]ed by leaders, but this is less effective given that they have more health, aside from in ''Pikmin'' where they have less health than their counterparts. The main risk with this lies with the leader's getting "comboed" by one: getting knocked over when it jumps and, as they are getting back up, again when it lands.
==== ''Pikmin 2'' ====
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.


If a Wollyhop is frozen whilst in mid-air, it will shatter upon landing. This could be done with [[Ice Blast]], though the same can be done with [[Ice Pikmin]] but the timing is much harder. Making use of [[Bomb Rock]]s is quite useful, less so in ''Pikmin 2'', but they are often found in sublevels with [[boulder]]s, so they could be lured under one of them instead.
==== ''Pikmin 4'' ====
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.
