Like the [[Yellow Wollywog]] and [[Wogpole]], this enemy had to be renamed to "Wollyhop" for the European [[Region|version]] of {{npcp1}} and {{npcp2}}. The creature's Japanese name is {{j|マロガエル|Maro Gaeru}}, which could translate to "Chestnut Frog". {{j|マロ|maro}} means chestnut, which is apt, given the creature's appearance, but the word {{j|ガエル|gaeru}} is similar to the word {{j|カエル|kaeru}}, which means frog. Its scientific name is ''Amphicaris albino''. ''{{w|Albino}}'' refers to the creature's pale skin and red eyes. In ''Pikmin'', it is internally known as <code>frow</code>, which is <code>frog</code> (the [[Yellow Wollywog]]'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 name.

In the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, this enemy's genus name is mistakenly the same as the [[Water Dumple]]'s, making its scientific name ''Ichthyosa Albino''.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#044_-_Wollywog|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}
