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 creature 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.

Yellow Wollyhops 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.

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.

Because Yellow Wollyhops ignore Olimar at first and only cause to harm to Pikmin unless attacking, taking damage and using the invincibility to walk through is a viable option. If attacked, they will jump directly above Olimar, leaving enough time to walk past. If one wishes to defeat a Yellow Wollyhop, throwing Pikmin on top of it and whistling them back before they're thrown off will work, although it will take some time. If the Pikmin are thrown off, depending on the placement of Olimar, the Yellow Wollyhop, and the Pikmin (e.g.: Olimar is on one side, the Pikmin on the other, and the creature in the middle), it may be beneficial to not whistle the Pikmin back, to avoid death. The Yellow Wollyhop can only kill Pikmin when landing from an attack.

In [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], there is a Yellow Wollywog near a pipe. If the Yellow Wollyhop jumps on the hole in the pipe, it [[Glitches in Pikmin#Yellow Wollyhop stuck on pipe|gets stuck]] there; it can be coerced into doing so by moving [[Olimar]] onto it. While stuck, the Wollyhop cannot be harmed; it remains in its jumping animation and cannot be brought out of it.
