Large-Mouth Wollyhop

The Large-Mouth Wollyhop, titled Large-Mouth Wollywog in North American releases, is the second major boss fought in Pikmin Adventure. It is labeled as part of the Amphituber family. It resembles a Yellow Wollyhop with a large, gaping mouth and long tongue with either a weak point or a Spike Ball at the end.

Monita's Notes[]

"The dreaded master of the swamp, this alien creature wields its tongue like a lead plated yo-yo. It also has the ability to absorb great quantities of water to keep its skin nice and slimy."

Strategy[]

The Large-Mouth Wollyhop is different from most Wollyhops in the sense that, rather than attacking by jumping on Pikmin, it attacks by unraveling its spiked tongue out of its large, gaping mouth.

The Large-Mouth Wollyhop sits in a pond in the center of the stage. As soon as the battle starts, the player must continuously be moving to ensure the creature's tongue does not hit them. Once its tongue stops on the third time, it will hit the creature's face on its way back, dazing the beast and allowing its tongue to be attacked. Once its tongue is damaged enough, it will attack at a much faster pace. However this time, the tongue becomes a Spike Ball and his new weak points are his cheeks.

Once these are destroyed, the Wollyhop will begin to jump wildly around the stage, occasionally attacking with his tongue. Once the player has the chance, throw Pikmin onto the weak point on his back. Once this weak spot has been destroyed, he will be defeated, and explode into Nintendo Land Coins.

Trivia[]

The Large Mouth Wollyhop is the one of two bosses in the Amphituber family, the other being the Translucent Wollyhop.
