Elongated Wollywog

The Elongated Wollywog is a amphituber appearing in Pikmin Eco. It strongly resembles most other wollywogs, but has yellow skin with a pale underside on its back, head, and legs. Its elongated back legs are longer than its own body. This is an adaptation to life high in the canopy, able to have it jump longer distances than other species.

Generally passive, they will only attack by leaping into the air if a leader or Pikmin comes nearby. It won't pursue them if they are a considerable range away, and will move back to its original position. Thanks to their long legs, they can leap a considerable distance and can jump very high into the air above their targets, making their landings more damaging.

In-game entry

 * "Evolving for an arboreal lifestyle as opposed to a terrestrial one, this species starts off its life cycle as a standard tadpole, the eggs laid and hatched inside water-filled plants rather than actual ponds like other relatives. This means that this species almost never ventures on the ground, with highly-developed leg muscles that allow it to leap remarkable distances between branches in trees."
