Frequently found in or near a body of water, | Frequently found in or near a body of water, Wollywogs 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 Wollywog 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 Wollywog's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a Wollywog 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 Wollywog is weighed down with at least 10 or so Pikmin. | ||
Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow | Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollywog]]s, Wollywogs jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less [[health]]. | ||

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 | **There are four Wollywogs in this area. Three Wollywogs 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 Wollywogs will be near the shore and the other two Wollywogs will be near the large bottle. The fourth Wollywog is located on the slope leading to the [[Puffstool]]'s arena, next to the line of [[fire geyser]]s. | ||

[[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}}}} | |||
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. | |||
The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming since throwing is slower in the first game. | |||
==== ''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. | |||
==== ''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. | |||
