Wollywog

Wollywogs, also known as Wollyhops, are a species of amphituber that live in the bowels of subterranean areas such as caves, usually in or near water. Generally passive, their only attack is to leap into the air towards nearby leaders and Pikmin to land on them; upon doing so, any Pikmin on it are thrown off, and any underneath it are crushed. Such an attack can be prevented if the Wollywog is weighed down by enough Pikmin. Compared to their counterpart, the Yellow Wollywog, Wollywogs jump with less vertical movement but greater horizontal movement, and can notice prey from any direction.

The Wollywog appears in Pikmin 4: The World to Free.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Wollywog is a returning species of amphituber in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature resembles its original design in the mainline games. However, its eyes glow in darker areas. The Wollywog will sit idle until it spots Pikmin from afar. It will then jump on them to try and kill them. If attacked, the frog will attempt to shake Pikmin off.

In Pikmin Evolution
The Albino Wollywog, also known as the Albino Wollyhop, is a species of Amphituber appearing in Pikmin Evolution. Despite having a different name from their previous appearance, the Albino Wollywog retains the same body shape and general coloring when it was simply known as the Wollywog, however now the bottom has gained a green tiny, signifying its new habitat. The Albino Wollywog gained this green tint by spending most of its time in the corrosive green acid, being completely immune to its harmful effects. Albino Wollywogs have the exact same characteristics otherwise from their previous appearance, their jumping skills have better horizontal height than the Yellow Wollywog, but they have a slower jumping speed than the Yellow Wollywog. A new ability they have that's exclusive to them is the abilities to bury themselves underneath a layer of mud, which can be seen by the tiny stream of bubbles coming from their hiding spot, before burying themselves out and quickly jumping in an ambush maneuver. This behavior is best shown when in the presence of an Albino Masterhop, as their loud calls can trigger other Albino Wollywogs to before their ambush attack. The flat body of the Wollywog is also a major weakness for the creature as they get weight down when they are covered in dirt or grime. What makes this fact relevant is that you can spray a gray syrup onto the Wollywog, which hardens into a heavy crystal, this makes the Albino Wollwog struggle to jump and instead will comically flip over onto its belly, letting get wailed on by all Pikmin types. Alloy Pikmin are another weakness for the creature as their heavy metal bodies forces the Wollywog down, meaning they have to shake them off before jumping. Despite these new interactions however, the Albino Wollywog is still the same pale amphituber from the previous games deep down and is therefore weak to the same strategies as before.
