The Bug-Eyed Crawmad is a miniboss that appears in ''Pikmin 3'' twice, both times in the Garden of Hope. Its appearance is similar to the Hermit Crawmad, however, it possesses distinctly large eyes protruding out of its head through eyestalks.
|pikmin3    = y
Like the Shaggy Long Legs, it appears as a star on the radar. It attacks by charging out of a hole in the ground and grabbing up to 10 Pikmin which it then proceeds to eat. It can also retreat into its hole to avoid attack and can switch between different holes if needed.
|pikmin4    = y
The Bug-Eyed Crawmad can be defeated by attacking its eyes. Winged Pikmin are the most effective for this because they can charge the eyestalks instead of the body like the other Pikmin and are thus less likely to be caught in the process. When the eyes are attacked, they turn red and eventually retract. If this process is completed before the Crawmad retreats into its hole, the Crawmad will flip over, revealing its soft underbelly. Attack and repeat the process if needed. When defeated it drops fruit.

The '''Bug-Eyed Crawmad''' ({{j|デメジャコ|Deme Jako|Bug-Eyed Mantis Shrimp}}, '''Bugeyed Crawmad''' in the European [[Region|version]]) is a [[Boss|miniboss]] that appears in {{P3}} and {{P4}}. It is fought twice in the [[Garden of Hope]] in ''Pikmin 3'', and found in [[Giant's Hearth]] and [[The Mud Pit]] in ''Pikmin 4''. Its appearance is similar to the [[Hermit Crawmad]], but it possesses distinctly large eyes protruding out of its head through eye-stalks. Instead of appearing from only one hole in the ground, it can switch between two different holes. It resembles stout lobster or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of {{w|Squilla mantis|squillas}} but are in fact related to {{w|hermit crab}}s.
 
The enemy sits in its burrow and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when prey – such as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] – approach it. If a Pikmin or [[leader]] gets too close to its dwelling, the Crawmad will attack. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing prey (up to ten Pikmin at once), almost instantly devouring them. The only way to damage this enemy is to hit its eyes. Once they are both significantly damaged, it will flip over exposing its raw underbelly. Despite being one of the largest bosses in the game, it takes only twelve Pikmin to carry.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|Its peepers aren't just big—they're capable of seeing things our eyes can't. This bug-eyed darling could identify all sorts of unknown objects for us if we showed it what to look at. How useful could that be?!}}
 
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Like its cousin the Hermit Crawmad, it makes its home in a burrow rather than a shell.
 
It has abnormally overdeveloped eyes with which to detect prey in cloudy water or low-visibility mud. These enormous eyes can perceive circular polarized light, as well as the ultraviolet and infrared spectrum.
 
It is well protected from predators, allowing it to live for upward of 50 years and grow to immense size by repeated ecdysis.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Bug-Eyed Crawmad is a large, burrowing creature. This heavily armored enemy attacks by lunging straight ahead and snapping its powerful claws. Any Pikmin it captures are fed directly into the creature's mouth, so it's important to keep your squad out of the Bug-Eyed Crawmad's path.
 
After you coax this creature out of its hole, throw your Pikmin at its retractable eyes. When both eyes have pulled back into its head, the Bug-Eyed Crawmad flips onto its back. Throw your Pikmin onto the creature's underbelly to deal damage until it recovers. Repeat the process until you defeat the Bug-Eyed Crawmad.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Its eyes are unusually large and well developed, enabling it to see three-dimensionally with only one eye. It can distinguish not only ultraviolet and infrared rays, but also circularly polarized light, enabling it to accurately locate its prey even in mud with poor visibility.
 
Feature #1: Living in a burrow
:Like the Hermit Crawmad, it usually lurks in its burrow.
:(Image text:
:*"It uses its fin-like walking legs and telson to leap out of its burrow with great vigor"
:*"It captures its prey with its large pincers")
 
Feature #2: Huge eyes
:It has two large, protruding eyes.
:(Image text:
:*"Its compound eyes, divided into three regions, have well-developed vision"
:*"The eyes are large to let in a lot of light, and have eyelid-like folds to prevent drying out")
 
Feature #3: Its abdomen is soft
:Its back is covered by its shell, but it still has the abdomen of a hermit crab.
:(Image text: "Because they are covered with a hard shell and have few natural enemies, some can live for over 50 years")

==Locations==
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
In the main Story Mode, they're both found in the [[Garden of Hope]].
* One of them is in a cave that contains an [[elevator platform]] puzzle, [[Dusk Pustules]] and some [[Hermit Crawmad]]s. This cave is located behind two electric [[gate]]s, located to the east of the Garden.
* The other one can be found on the half of the area where [[Blue Pikmin]] are found, to the Northwest of the path leading to the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]'s arena. This Crawmad is located near the north pile of [[fragment]]s that can be built into the tea cup, above water.
 
In Mission Mode, one appears in the Collect treasure! variant of the [[Fortress of Festivity]]. It appears in the circular arena that requires two captains to use the [[Bouncy Mushroom|Bouncy mushrooms]] from the cake with the [[Dusk Pustules]] to reach and for one of them to be thrown up (who can then use [[Rock Pikmin]] to break a [[crystal]] to allow easy access). It releases 4 [[Cupid's Grenade]]s when defeated and is worth 100 [[Poko]]s. Another appears in the Battle enemies! version of [[Forgotten Cove]]. It's behind a [[Gate|dirt wall]], and killing it gives the player 100 points. Both of these enemies are considerably weaker than the ones encountered in Story Mode.
 
Finally, one also appears in the [[Bingo Battle]] stage [[Twisted Cavern]].
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
In the main Story Mode, there are two Bug-Eyed Crawmads in the [[Giant's Hearth]] and one in [[The Mud Pit]].
In Giant's Hearth:
* One of the Giant's Hearth Crawmads appear in a small lower section with a sprinkler that either needs to be turned off or killed with Blue Pikmin and drops a [[Seed Hive]].
* The second is found in a small body of water in-between the drainable pool with [[Wolpole]]s and the entrance of [[Cradle of the Beast]] and drops the [[Fish-Bed Snack]].
 
The one in [[The Mud Pit]] appears on the third and last sublevel in a muddy arena and acts as the boss of the cave alongside two [[Hermit Crawmad]]s and relinquishes a [[castaway]] when defeated.
 
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] only, there is a Bug-Eyed Crawmad in a small arena near [[Serene Shores]]'s southeast corner. This one holds an [[Automatic Gear]].
 
==Strategy==
As an eye is attacked, it turns redder and eventually retracts. If both eyes are taken out before the Crawmad retreats into its hole, it will flip over, revealing its soft underbelly. After some seconds, it will flip back upright and the cycle restarts. Repeat the process if needed to defeat the beast.
 
With [[throw]]n Pikmin, manual [[HUD#Cursor|cursor]] aiming may be needed, but Winged Pikmin can [[charge]] the eyes instead of the body. [[Rock Pikmin]] deal good damage when thrown directly onto the eyes as well. [[Bomb rock]]s may be used to instantly take out one eye, or both at once, immediately flipping the creature onto its back. Alternately, if one is ingested by the creature, it will cause it to take a sufficient amount of damage and flip over.
 
Winged Pikmin can take this mini-boss out in just a few seconds. Bring 100 of them out to fight it, preferably flowers, but the result shouldn't matter too much. Once the Bug-Eyed Crawmad is vulnerable, just lock onto one of the eyes and swarm it. The Winged Pikmin take out the eyes very quickly, and once one eye is down they will attack the other &ndash; either that or they will attack both at once. Once it flips over, don't do anything, as the Winged Pikmin will be above the body and will take that out very quickly too. This strategy becomes even more efficient when combined with an [[ultra-spicy spray]], given its improvement in attack power for Winged Pikmin. When time is of importance (such as during [[Mission Mode]] or the [[Side Stories]]), a small group of 20 or more Winged Pikmin powered up by ultra-spicy spray can be [[Dismiss|dismissed]] near the mini-boss, and they should be able to defeat it on their own, allowing you to do something else in the meantime.
 
The Crawmad has been made quite a bit easier in ''Pikmin 4'', as its health has been lowered. The beast also actually takes considerable damage to its eyes when hit with [[Rock Pikmin]], more than the impact of a [[Purple Pikmin]], which is an oddity.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'' the strategy using Winged Pikmin is still effective, and Winged Pikmin actually seem to have better targeting of the enemy's eyes and underbelly while in combat, but it should be noted the couple encountered in [[Giant's Hearth]] may be seen as not worth bringing Winged Pikmin to, since Winged Pikmin lack the good amount of uneven ground, water or elevated enemies to make them particularly useful otherwise in this area. Notably, one of the two shellfish at Giant's Hearth are encounted under the protection of a [[Sprinkler]], which [[Blue Pikmin]] can pass through without the construction of a [[Clay valve|Clay Valve]].
 
[[Ice Pikmin]] also make considerably strong counters to this boss, as they can freeze it from the eyes allowing its entire body to be attacked. A small amount of Ice Pikmin as low as 15-20 can quickly freeze the Crawmad, writing its death sentance to a large squad of Pikmin. It should be noted that Oatchi's rush allows Rock Pikmin to deal increased damage when the beast is frozen, as little as 35 Rock Pikmin tipped off of oatchi are enough to deal mortal damage when the foe is frozen. In [[The Mud Pit]], the boss is located in a large puddle of mud, which can permenantly freeze the boss with enough Ice Pikmin, making for a guarenteed defeat (although, it could be quicker to simply use your already presumably present squad of Winged Pikmin using Spicy Spray). The same can be said for when the boss is encountered in a puddle of water in Giant's Hearth.
