Notes

Alph

Structural flaw: weak hide
Weight: 5

There are definite signs of intelligence in this brute. It always faces its prey first, as if to gauge the distance, before jumping into the air for a stomp. If you don't move while it hangs for a moment in midair, you could lose a lot of Pikmin. It's big, but not strong— as few as five Pikmin can weigh it down so it can't jump. Rock Pikmin also have nothing to fear from it.

Brittany

Look at that thing. It's so bloated. I feel that way too sometimes when I can't stop chugging down juice. I have to lie down for a while after that, but this thing keeps jumping. I bet it gets the worst cramps.

Charlie

I don't understand how it manages to hang in the air at the height of its jumps, but I don't have to understand. I just have to get out of the way, and its weird hang time helps a lot with that. Let that be a lesson: don't stand around gawking at a creature's weird attack moves—do something about it!

Louie

Beer-batter and deep-fry for a down-home flavor you won't soon forget!

Yellow Wollywog
Amphicaris frodendum
Amphituber family

This magnificent specimen has the brightest gold coloration and the greatest number of lateral spots of any member in the amphituber family. This 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 frog-like amphibious creature. This enemy attacks by leaping into the air and crushing its victims. Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by this attack, making them a good option when facing one of these creatures. Because Yellow Wollywogs tend to stick close to water, Blue Pikmin are often your safest alternative.

When you're leading a more diverse squad, toss Red Pikmin or Blue Pikmin onto a Yellow Wollywog to weigh the creature down, then throw your Rock Pikmin at the enemy to deal heavy damage.

Hey! Pikmin

Yellow Wollywog

Amphicaris frodendum

Family: Amphituber

If you don't disturb this creature, it will leave you alone as well. Once bothered, it uses its powerful jumps to attack.

I can sympathize. I've known people in my own life who lash out whenever anybody tries to wake them up.
