The '''Yellow Wollywog''' ({{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru|Potato Frog}}; also known as '''Yellow Wollyhop''') 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.
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 [[Wogpole]] eggs, revealing that the Yellow Wollywog and the Wogpole are the same exact species.

In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is the only mature species of [[Amphituber family|amphituber]]. In these games, they also have a reasoning for their floating ability: their throat inflates, presumably allowing them to float in the air temporarily. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they seem to have slightly increased in size and move slightly faster.

{{transcript|The Yellow Wollywog is a frog-like amphibious creature. This enemy attacks by leaping into the air and crushing its victims.

===''Pikmin''===
Frequently found in or near a body of water, Yellow Wollywogs are moderately sturdy creatures. Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. Once on the attack, a Yellow Wollywog will likely not pursue if its target is on the move, rather it will return to its general starting location in short hops. Their attacks are sometimes sudden, and they can shake all attacking Pikmin from their bodies. Upon falling, a Yellow Wollywog's attack covers a considerable radius, killing all Pikmin within it. Even if a Yellow Wollywog is defeated as it is about to fall, any Pikmin caught beneath it will still be killed. Such an attack can be prevented if the Wollywog is weighed down with at least 10 or so Pikmin.

Yellow Wollywogs are changed little behaviorally. They are in general slightly weaker than they are in ''Pikmin'', with less hit points, a smaller radius on their attacks, and being easier to weigh down. Also, when one is killed mid-air, the falling body will not kill any Pikmin beneath it. In this game exclusively, the player can also approach one from behind without it noticing. The albino [[Wollywog]] however can notice leader and Pikmin from any angle, as long as they are in range.

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.

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.

These dangerous enemies must be dealt with carefully, as one false step could mean the loss of dozens of Pikmin with a single attack. [[Swarm]] with as many Pikmin as are on-hand and they should be able to weigh the Wollywog down to the point where it cannot jump; as their [[HP|health]] dwindles, Wollywogs can often summon the energy to make a last-ditch leap into the air, so be prepared to call the Pikmin back when its health meter enters the red zone. Any Pikmin hanging onto the Wollywog when it lands will be thrown off and possibly deflowered from the force of the impact, sometimes leading to death for non-[[Blue Pikmin|blue]] Pikmin if they are knocked into a nearby pool. Beware, as there is no limit to the number of Pikmin that can die at once.

The alternative strategy mentioned for ''Pikmin 2'' also works here, but it takes longer than swarming, since throwing is slower in the first game without the [[Throw#Swarm trick|swarm trick]].

Yellow Wollywogs are much harder to ground in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', even if numerous Pikmin are thrown onto its back, but swarming can still be an effective strategy, as the radius within which the Wollywog can crush a Pikmin is substantially smaller than in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]]. [[Purple Pikmin]] will also work exceedingly well when thrown at this beast in large numbers, as each one carries the chance of stunning it, preventing it from fighting back. Even so, the safer strategy is simply to [[punch]] it with [[leader]]s, especially if the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade is available. However, this method has its own dangers, too. The leaders can get "comboed" by the creatures, getting knocked over when it jumps and, as they are getting back up, again when it lands. Note that if its health is completely depleted while in the air, it falls to the ground earlier than usual, crushing any Pikmin below it.

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 Wollywogs 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 Wollywog, 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 Wollywog, 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 Wollywog can only kill Pikmin when landing from an attack.

{{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.

The "Yellow" in its name distinguishes it from the regular [[Wollywog]]. Like the [[Wollywog]] and [[Wogpole]], the creature was renamed to "Yellow Wollyhop" in the European [[Region|version]]s of {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, and {{p3}}. In Japan, it is known as {{j|イモガエル|Imo Gaeru}}, which means "Potato Frog". {{j|イモ|imo}} means potato, which refers to its shape, while {{j|ガエル|gaeru}} is close to {{j|カエル|kaeru}}, which means frog.
{{naming
 
|common    = Yellow Wollyhop or Yellow Wollywog, depending on game and version. The enemy is called the Yellow Wollywog in both American English and British English versions of {{p1}} and {{p2}}, but in {{npcp1}}, {{npcp2}}, {{p3}}, {{hp}}, and {{p3d}}, the enemy is called the Yellow Wollywog in the American English version and the Yellow Wollyhop in the British English version. In {{p1s}}, {{p2s}}, and {{p4}}, the enemy is called the Yellow Wollyhop in both English versions. The reason for the name change is that the term "{{w|wog}}" is a slur in British and Australian English. The "Yellow" in its name distinguishes it from the regular [[Wollyhop]]. Although the Yellow Wollyhop is the one whose name uses a color identifier to distinguish it from the "common" Wollyhop, the reality is that the Yellow Wollyhop is the common one. This is because the Wolpole grows into a mature Yellow Wollyhop, and there is no tadpole equivalent for the albino Wollyhop, and because this creature's internal name is the one to use the common "frog" name.
Its scientific name is ''Amphicaris frodendum'', the same as the [[Wogpole]]'s. Internally, it is known as <code>frog</code> in all games besides ''Hey! Pikmin'', which uses the written English translation of the Japanese name without a space, <code>Imogaeru</code>.
