Wollywogs are the different species of mature amphitubers that live in the bowels of subterranean areas. They are instead gray and have red eyes. They are usually in watery cave habitats. As a general rule, this is true for the Forest Navel since it is sort of a cave. They are just like Yellow Wollywogs, just throw Pikmin on its body and call them away when the creature falls after its jump. These creatures are more aggresive than their cousin, and have changed their coloration due to its sun lacking cave environment. In Pikmin 1, you'll see them before the Yellow Wollywog. In Pikmin 2, you will likely see them second since they are in more difficult caves.(they have a bettter chance of killing pikmin then their cousin)

Yellow Wollywogs are the most common thing one may think of when they hear the term 'amphituber' or 'wollywog' since it has evolved in a natural state unlike its cave cousin, the ('gray') Wollywog. They live near most freshwater and non-cavelike bodies of water, though is is not always true. For an unknown reason, they jump into the air and try to crush your Pikmin. They sometimes perform an odd glitch when they jump. It is best if you avoid the jumps in any case, and get behind the creature and throw your Pikmin. Call your Pikmin when the Wollywog falls or they will scatter due to the force of the it's impact. Repeat until this creature is finished, it would be best if you always get rid of these since they can be a big problem for passing Pikmin. Purples actually work well as long as the creature is not in the water.
Yellow Wollywogs are taller, yellow versions of Wollywogs that live near bodies of water out in the open like in [[The Distant Spring]] or [[Perplexing Pool]] as opposed to underground areas, though this is not always true. Like Wollywogs, they try to crush Pikmin by jumping into the air. To defeat them, it is best to approach from behind and throw Pikmin on top, calling them back before the creature falls.

The Wogpole is an enemy in the Pikmin games. It resembles a tadpole, and is in fact the baby form of amphitubers. It is one of the weakest water-based enemy in the game. In the first game, it only appears in the The Forest of Hope and The Distant Spring area. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers that run away and only give out 1 Pikmin when carried to the Onion. In Pikmin 2, they are found in the Awakening Wood and Perplexing Pool areas, as well as being found in the sublevels of some caves. Also, they can occasionally get out of the water. When they do this, they will flop high in the air and move more slowly. As stated, they are not worth killing, so don't bother unless you really want to retrieve them.

The Amphituber family is a family of frog-like amphibians in the Pikmin games. Their family name is a portmanteau of "amphibian" and "tuber", due to their potato-shaped body.

Wollywog

Main article: Wollywog.

Wollywogs are a species of mature amphituber that live in the bowels of subterranean areas. They are gray and have red eyes, and are usually found in watery cave-live areas, such as caves in Pikmin 2 and The Forest Navel in Pikmin. They are defeated in the same manner as Yellow Wollywogs, but are more aggressive, and attack with a jump more readily. The lack of skin coloration is due to living in sunlight-free places.

The wogpole resembles a tadpole, and is in fact the baby form of amphitubers. It is one of the weakest water-based enemy in the Pikmin series. In the first game, it only appears in the The Forest of Hope and The Distant Spring. They are typically a hard-to-get, low-reward enemy in that they are fast swimmers that run away and only give out 1 Pikmin when carried to the Onion. In Pikmin 2, they are found in the Awakening Wood and Perplexing Pool areas, as well as being found in the sublevels of some caves. Also, they can occasionally get out of the water. When they do this, they will flop high in the air and move more slowly. As stated, they are not worth killing, so don't bother unless you really want to retrieve them.
