Wollywog

Wollywogs are a species of amphituber that live in the bowels of subterranean areas. As an adaptation to environments with little or no sunlight, they have lost most of their skin pigmentation, giving them an albino-like appearance.

Like Yellow Wollywogs, when approached, Wollywogs will leap high into the air and attempt to crush on your Pikmin. Toss Pikmin onto their back and call them away just before it lands to avoid having them shaken off and possibly deflowered. If enough Pikmin are used, it is possible to weigh the Wollywog down so much that it cannot jump.

Olimar's Notes
It is believed that juvenile wollywogs were once carried by an underground current into caverns, where they thrived in the dark habitat. This troglodytic species of wollywog's coloration results from generations of cave dwelling and lack of sunlight. Comparative differences between the size and shape of this wollywog and other species are thought to be the result of natural selection at work, choosing traits better suited to life in a subterranean environment.

Louie's Notes
Wollywogs are best ground up, shaped into a patty, and flame-broiled on a grill. Slap on tomato slices, lettuce, onions, ketchup, and slide the patty between a sesame-seed bun for the ultimate best-burger experience.

Pikmin 1
Swarm it with a large group of Pikmin. The more Pikmin are attacking at once, the more likely the Wollywog will be weighed down and unable to jump. If it does get airborne, call back your Pikmin and get them away from the Wollywog's shadow (the area where it will land). Re-swarm when it lands.

Pikmin 2
Swarming is less effective here, so attack by repeatedly throwing Pikmin, preferably purples, onto its back. It appears to be easier to pin the Wollywog to the ground here than in Pikmin, so it is in fact easier to kill. Once again, in the event it does get off the ground, call your Pikmin back immediately and move them out of the way. An alternate strategy if one doesn't have Purple Pikmin, is to use a group of about 10-20 Pikmin, and throw all the Pikmin before the Wollywog takes off. It should become airborne, and the moment it starts to land, recall the Pikmin. Because of the falling speeds of Pikmin and the Wollywog, and the fact that Pikmin are invincible when airborne, this is a very viable strategy.

Pikmin:Redemption
There are no changes in PR except for a minor color change.

Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War
Wollywogs appear in Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War as well. They have the same abilities and appearance as usual. Only one appears so far, on a switchbox in The Temple of Ice. This can be dangerous, since it can turn on the Whistling Terror while your Pikmin are carrying it, causing them to be killed.

Wollwog

Amphicaris albino

Amphituber Family

This wollywog is white from deprivation of sunlight. Ever since the first wollywog ventured underground, their eyes couldn't stand the natural sunlight outside, so they stayed in caves until they developed this pale complexion. It has obtained the "squashed" look from jumping in the confined spaces of the caves we explore.

Ship's Notes

This creature never stops staring at my camera. IT DOESN'T EVEN BLINK. I can never win a staring contest against one of these guys. Olimar is telling me that that is probably because it's dead. Yeah, right, as if.
