The '''Yellow Wollyhop''', formerly known as the '''Yellow Wollywog''', is an ovoid yellow [[Amphituber family|amphituber]] that is typically found in or around large, open-air bodies of [[water]] and in moist, [[Weather|rain]]y areas. They are known to leap into the air, floating temporarily by inflating their throat, and dropping abruptly, with the intent of landing on and [[Blunt force|crush]]ing [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] below. Such an attack can be prevented if the wollyhop is weighed down by enough Pikmin. Compared to their subterranean counterpart, the [[Wollyhop]], Yellow Wollyhop jump with greater vertical movement but less horizontal movement, and, in {{p1}} and {{p2}}, does not notice Pikmin and [[leader]]s approaching from behind.
 
In {{hp}}, Yellow Wollyhops passively hop about a set area, ignoring [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] and his Pikmin. If attacked, a Yellow Wollyhop will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.

The '''Yellow Wollywog''' is probably the first thing that comes to mind when one hears the term 'amphituber' or 'wollywog.' These frog-like creatures can usually be found in or around large, open-air bodies of water. They are known to leap into the air with the intent of landing on and crushing small [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] below, and behavior which is most readily explained as an attempt to drive predators away from developing eggs.
The '''Yellow Wollywog''' appears in ''[[Pikmin 4: The World to Free]]''. Along with their usual [[Blunt force|crush]]ing attacks, they can also release [[water]] they have stored in their stomachs.

===Olimar's Notes===
In ''[[Pikmin Forever]]'', '''Yellow Wollywogs''' have a much more wet appearance in and around water, and with each hop out of water, it will have a more dryer appearance. If it is in the air, it can drop faster the more [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] it has on it, and if struck with a [[Mushroom Pikmin]], it will comically fall to the opposite direction of the Mushroom Pikmin and land on its side, taking time getting up. Pikmin in the air with it will be knocked off. [[Winged Pikmin]] who are currently airborne will attempt to lift a Yellow Wollywog in the air. If they are successful, the wollywog will struggle a bit before being dropped by the Winged Pikmin, dealing massive damage to the creature. The Yellow Wollywog will become more aggressive if there are [[Wolpole|Wogpole]]s around and even more aggressive if the Wogpoles are attacked.

This magnificent specimen has the brightest gold coloration and the greatest number of lateral spots of any member in the amphituber family. The species seems to have lost some swimming proficiency with the evolutionary adaptation that granted it greater jumping ability. The amphituber inhabits aquatic shallows and shows an instinctive drive to jump upon and squash smaller creatures.

The '''Yellow Wollywog''' is a returning species of [[Amphituber family|amphituber]] in ''[[Pikmin: Decayed Leaf]]''. The creature resembles its original incarnation in {{p3}}. The Wollywog is typically found near bodies of [[water]] and hops on [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to [[Blunt force|crush]] and kill them. If attacked, the creature will vigorously shake off the Pikmin. Depending on where a Yellow Wollywog is, the bottom part of its body may be covered in water, soil, mud, sand, snow, or other types of materials due to its sticky skin.

==Strategies==
The '''Yellow Wollywog''' appears in ''[[Pikmin: The Winds of Light]]''. One is found at the [[Spring of Serenity]].


===Pikmin 1===
===Notes===
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 health dwindles, Wollywogs can often summon the energy to make a last-ditch leap into the air, so be prepared to call your Pikmin back when its HP 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 spelling doom for non-[[Blue Pikmin|blue]] Pikmin if they are knocked into a nearby pool.
{{notes|Olimar's notes|There are several differences between Wollywogs and Yellow Wollywogs. Most obvious is their color, but Wollywogs tend to appear underground more often than Yellow Wollywogs. Yellow Wollywogs, with large Pikmin numbers on top, can not jump high enough to set it free, however, Wollywogs can jump under pressure.}}
{{clear}}


===Pikmin 2===
==In ''Pikspore''==
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, often the safety strategy is simply to punch it with your [[captain]], especially if the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade is available.

In PR these are actually found on the first sublevel of some caves as well as above ground. Not much else can be said about them.
In ''[[Pikspore]]'', the '''Yellow Wollywog''' is identical to its {{p2}} incarnation. If in a location with [[pit]]s, Yellow Wollywogs can be tricked into leaping into them.

The Yellow Wollyhop, formerly known as the Yellow Wollywog, is an ovoid yellow amphituber that is typically found in or around large, open-air bodies of water and in moist, rainy areas. They are known to leap into the air, floating temporarily by inflating their throat, and dropping abruptly, with the intent of landing on and crushing Pikmin below. Such an attack can be prevented if the wollyhop is weighed down by enough Pikmin. Compared to their subterranean counterpart, the Wollyhop, Yellow Wollyhop jump with greater vertical movement but less horizontal movement, and, in Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2, does not notice Pikmin and leaders approaching from behind.

In Hey! Pikmin, Yellow Wollyhops passively hop about a set area, ignoring Olimar and his Pikmin. If attacked, a Yellow Wollyhop will become hostile, and attempt to flatten Olimar first, or any Pikmin if Olimar isn't in range.
