==Behavior==
==Behavior==
This creature is passive, only waking from slumber if approached. The Calcified Crushblat starts out sitting on the ground with its legs folded underneath it. From a distance, it looks like a crystalline rock. Once a Pikmin or leader approaches it, it will stand up and walk around the area, attempting to sit on and crush the creatures. If its armor is on, it will crush all Pikmin except for [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[Winged Pikmin]]. If the armor is gone, it will only knock back Pikmin underneath it, but if Pikmin are directly underneath the Crushblat, they can be buried. The Crushblat moves rather fast despite its appearance.

==Locations==
In the main game one appears in the [[Tropical Wilds]]. It appears in a side area that is only accessible by Blue and Winged Pikmin. To reach this side area you have to go under the walkway to the Meerslug arena. It appears above land and holds the area's [[Searing Acidshock]].
====Collect Treasures====
One appears in [[Silver Lake Remix]] in the north-east section of the map guarding some Yellow Pikmin sprouts.
In [[Clockwork Chasm]] one appears east resting in front of a conveyer belt on a large sqaure platform that has Blue Pikmin sprouts and a [[Gold Nugget|pile of nuggets]].
====Battle Enemies!====
One appears in [[Twilight Hollow]], directly left out of the area with the Rock Onion. A piece of tall grass has been placed so you can hide from it.
A Crushbalt appears in [[Twilight River Remix]], partially submerged in water in the area with Blue Candypop Buds in the north-east corner of the map.
Another Crushbalt appears in [[The Rustyard]] in the south-west corner, on the side with Blue Pikmin. Rocks will have to be brought over from the other side of the map to fight it.
====Side Stories====
In [[Creature Hunting]] two Crushbalts appear side by side where the Master Onion is found during the main game. Two crystals walls can be broken to allow for easier access to them.
One appears in [[Team Monster Hunt]] where the Skutterchucks are found in Story Mode, which is behind where Olimar spawns.
Another one appears at the very end of the long hallway in [[Another Part Found]] serving as the last obstacle of the stage.
A Crushbalt also appears in the final side story misson, [[The Ship Restored]] holding a ship part thus being required to beat for the mission.
====Bingo Batlle====
One appears in [[Twisted Cavern]] layout A in the center of the north room.
In [[Jigsaw Colosseum]] layout C one appears in the dead-center of the map.

|scientific = ''Durotesta longuscrus''. ''Durotesta'' comes from ''duro'' and ''testa'', Latin for "hard" and "head" respectively, and refers to its protective shell. ''Longuscrus'' comes from ''longus'' and ''crus'', also Latin for "long" and "leg".
|scientific = ''Durotesta longuscrus''. It combines the two Latin words ''duro'' (hard) and ''testa'' (head), refering to its protective helmet. "Longuscrus" comes from ''longus'' (long) and ''crus'' (leg).
|internal  = Internally, it is called <code>crystal_frog</code>. <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> is the name of an [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused enemy]], which is a [[Wollywog]] (<code>maro_frog</code>) with a rock. It is possible that both <code>crystal_frog</code> and <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> were planned to be the two main [[amphituber]]s but with some rock or crystal accessory. At some point in development, <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> was abandoned and <code>crystal_frog</code> was reworked into the Calcified Crushblat. Alternatively, the Crushblat's internal name was simply chosen because it jumps like a frog and has a layer of crystal.
