The Burrowing Meadow Wollywog is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. Its appearance is meant to be a humorous joke on the amphituber family name, resembling a potato plant. It has leaves on the top of its head that are exposed when it is burrowed in the ground, while its body is brown and has markings that resemble potato eyes. It also has dirt stains, small rocks, and long strands of root-like hairs on its body. It is initially found buried in the ground but unearths itself when leaders or pikmin come near. From there, it will pursue them through a chain of small, ungraceful flops across the ground. When it flops over Pikmin, they will be forced back into the soil and must be plucked. When Burrowing Meadow Wollywogs emerge, they don't go back into the ground unless the area is revisited.

Notes

Olimar's notes

A particularly large species of amphituber that puts that family name to great effect. Resembling the massive, tuberous roots of certain plants, the creature lies in wait in the ground to lure herbivorous insects to its leafy facade. From then, it will pursue its potential prey, usually overwhelming it with its immense girth. Due to its fossorial nature and tendency to lay in wait near bodies of water, its skin can remain moist for extensive periods of time.

Louie's notes

While it is just as flavorless as its starchy lookalike, it's also just as absorbent of flavor. Even better is that, unlike the breadbug, you don't have to sacrifice the texture to make it more palatable. I flavor mine with sour cream and green onions.

Ship's comments

Quite literally a, "child of the earth" there. It does seem incredibly ill-tempered and stubborn. Mother Nature must be spoiling this one...
