Bioluminescent Wollywog

The Bioluminescent Wollywog is an amphituber that appears in Pikmin 2: New Year as a relative of the Wollywog. They sit idly on land or in water, occasionally croaking or wiping their face. When Pikmin or leaders approach a Bioluminescent Wollywog, no matter the direction, it will turn to face them. If they come close, it will jump above them and attempt to crush them under its weight. In contrast with the Lily Wollywog, the Bioluminescent Wollywog jumps farther than it does higher and can notice anything approaching it from any direction.

Bioluminescent Wollywogs have dark blue skin and spots on either side of their back that almost blend in with it. Their eyes, forelimbs, and underbelly are light blue, but despite their name, the only glowing part of a Bioluminescent Wollywog are its eyes.

Because they can not be caught off-guard, Bioluminescent Wollywogs must be fought head-on. The optimal strategy against a Bioluminescent Wollywog is throwing Pikmin rapidly onto it immediately after it lands. If it jumps while Pikmin are still latched onto it, whistle them off before the creature lands, and throw them back on after it does so. Having enough Pikmin on a Bioluminescent Wollywog at once will prevent it from jumping for a short time.
