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 creature 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.

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 at least 10 or so Pikmin.

Compared to their counterparts, the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]s, Wollyhops jump with less vertical movement, but greater horizontal movement. They also have slightly less [[health]].

Wollyhops 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 Wollyhop in this game, and can notice a player from anywhere, unlike the Yellow Wollyhop.

 

[[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.

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.

{{transcript|Standard Wollywogs are pale because they never get any sun. You'll find them in underground areas exclusively, and often in the water. Attack the hoppers with small squads of tossed Pikmin. If you swarm them, chances are some of your troops will get squashed.}}

 

{{transcript|These chunky frog-like creatures leap into the sky and then slam themselves to the ground, crushing anything beneath it. Wollyhops can often jump into the sky when Pikmin are still latched onto them. It takes a swarm of Pikmin to weigh one down enough to stay on the ground.}}

The Wollyhop appears as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

|common    = Wollyhop or Wollywog, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Wollywog in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, {{p3}}, {{hp}}, and {{p3d}}, the enemy is called the Wollywog in the American English version and the Wollyhop in the British English version. In {{p1s}}, {{p2s}}, and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Wollyhop in both English versions. The reason for the name change is that the term "{{w|wog}}" is a slur in British and Australian English. Either way, the name comes from pollywog, another word for tadpole.

|jpcommon  = {{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru}}. {{j|ガエル|gaeru}} means "frog", and {{j|マロ|Maro}} is a common name among the {{w|kuge}}, a class of individuals who wear makeup to make their faces pale white. It may also incorporate {{j|丸|maro|circle|f=tp}}, referring to its shape compared to the Yellow Wollyhop.

|scientific = ''Amphicaris albino''. ''{{w|Albino}}'' refers to the creature's pale skin and red eyes. In the ''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide, the scientific name is instead ''Amphicaris frodendum'', the same as the Yellow Wollyhop's.

|internal  = In ''Pikmin'', it is internally known as <code>frow</code>, which is <code>frog</code> (the [[Yellow Wollyhop]]'s internal name) but with <code>w</code>, likely short for "white", standing in for the last letter. In ''Pikmin 2'', the internal name is <code>marofrog</code>; "maro" is a part of its Japanese common name.
