Amphituber is a portmanteau of "{{w|amphibian}}", the real world class that frogs are a part of, and "{{w|tuber}}", due to their potato-shaped body. Most members of this family use the name "Wollywog" or some variation. That word is a play on the {{w|pollywog}}, which means tadpole. Because "wog" is an offensive word in the United Kingdom, Wollywogs were renamed to Wollyhops, and the Wogpole to Wolpole. "Hop" references these enemies's dangerous jumps) on the European versions of {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, and {{p3}}. ''Amphicaris'' is the genus for members of this family, and likely comes from "amphibian". | Amphituber is a portmanteau of "{{w|amphibian}}", the real world class that frogs are a part of, and "{{w|tuber}}", due to their potato-shaped body.
