The '''Yellow Wollyhop''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''' in [[#Naming|some games]]) is a frog-like [[Enemy|enemy]] found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. They are large, round, yellow creatures with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Their skin is tinted green towards the top of their heads, with green spots along the sides. They can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of [[water]], but also in moist, [[rain]]y areas.
The '''Yellow Wollyhop''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''' [[#Naming|depending on the game and region]]) is a frog-like [[Enemy|enemy]] found in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. Yellow Wollyhops are large, round, yellow creatures with large eyes and beady pupils, and short front legs with larger hind legs. Their skin is tinted green towards the top of their heads, with green spots along the sides. They can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of [[water]], but also in moist, [[rain]]y areas.


They are known to leap into the air, floating temporarily, and dropping, with the intent of landing on and [[crushing]] small [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] below, a behavior which is most readily explained as an attempt to drive predators away from developing eggs. According to [[Olimar]]'s notes, these are [[Wolpole]] eggs, revealing that the Yellow Wollyhop and the Wolpole are the same exact species.

Yellow Wollywogs have experienced one notable change: as they inflate their throats to float in midair, they can now float for a small but randomly chosen amount of time, making it less predictable and more urgent to avoid. They also have a 360° field of view, meaning they can detect Pikmin and leaders from behind, unlike in the past two games. However, they cannot crush the newly-introduced Rock Pikmin with their attacks.
Yellow Wollyhop are the only type of wollyhops to appear in this game.

In this game, Yellow Wollywogs passively wander a set area, ignoring Olimar and his Pikmin. They are only found in [[Downpour Thicket]]. Although they ignore him, if Olimar touches one, it will cause him damage, although Pikmin can walk through unscathed. If attacked, a Yellow Wollywog will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.

Yellow Wollywogs are much easier to defeat in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', because of the inclusion of [[Rock Pikmin]], which are immune to being crushed. As such, they may be encountered as early as the second day. However, as some are found in water, Blue Pikmin must be used to defeat the water-dwelling Wollywogs. They are even more dangerous as they puff up to crush Pikmin in a larger area. One strategy is to lure them from the water to the shore, then use Rock Pikmin to attack it, whistling them back when you're low on throwable Pikmin.

It can be noted that the two Yellow Wollywogs in [[Fortress of Festivity]] on Battle enemies! mode in [[Mission Mode]] are significantly weaker than the average one, and it seems like the [[leader]] or Pikmin must get closer to them than normal to make them attack.

特徴 その2 イモのような体
:黄化色素が多い明るい体色で、眼と平行に並ぶ斑紋が3つある。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of frog that reflexively jumps on moving objects smaller than itself and squashes them. It has short legs relative to its body size and is not a good swimmer, so it lives in shallow water or nearby.
Feature #1: Squashing
:After jumping up, it inflates its body to keep its balance.
:(Image text: "It absorbs the body fluids of the prey it crushes through its skin")
Feature #2: Potato-like body
:It has a bright body color with high levels of yellowish pigmentation and three spots that run parallel to the eye.
:(Image text: "In order to gain the body weight to crush prey, its body has a large amount of water")
Feature #3: The parent and offspring are separated?
:They often live apart from each other in order to avoid accidentally stepping on the larvae.
