Editing Creep-crab family

{{game icons|p2=y|hp=y}}
The '''creep-crab family''' is a family of creatures in {{p2}} and {{hp}}. Members of this family resemble {{w|crustacean}}s, and have hard shells that cannot be damaged, forcing the player to expose weak points.

This family consists of two similarily sounding genera, ''Parastacoidea'', which the [[Segmented Crawbster]] is in, and ''Tegoparastacoidea'', which the [[Armurk]] is in. However, both have the same species name, ''reptantia''. This is fixed in the European [[Region|version]] of ''Hey! Pikmin'', which gives the Armurk a completely different scientific name.

==Members==
===Segmented Crawbster===

{{main|Segmented Crawbster}}

Scientific name: ''Parastacoidea reptantia''

The Segmented Crawbster is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', found exclusively on the tenth sublevel of the [[Cavern of Chaos]]. It attacks by curling into a ball and chasing after its prey in an attempt to crush them. If it hits a wall, it becomes temporarily incapacitated and exposes its only weak point: its soft underbelly. When agitated, it can use its massive claw arm to swipe away [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. After the boss is defeated, it drops the [[Silencer]].

===Armurk===

{{main|Armurk}}

Scientific name: ''Tegoparastacoidea reptantia/Scalobita rotunda''

The Armurk is the [[boss]] of [[Sparkling Labyrinth]] in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It resembles a {{w|horseshoe crab}}, with a gray striped shell and many green, jellylike feet. It has two weak points, one on its tail, and the other being its underbelly, both of which are bright pink.

It attacks by backing Olimar and his Pikmin against a wall, where it will attempt to lean back and crush them. However, this exposes its belly, allowing it to be attacked. After taking enough hits on its belly, it will turn around and retreat, allowing Olimar to attack its tail. It can also climb onto the ceiling, where it will drop down, curl into a ball, and bounce around the room. It drops the [[Royal Suite]] after being defeated.

==Naming==
The family name consists of the words "creep" and "{{w|crab}}". While "crab" refers to how the members of this family are crab-like, the term "creep" here could either refer to their unsettling nature, or to the way they roll being related to {{w|Adhesion railway#Forces on wheels, creep|railway adhesion creep}}.

The genus ''Parastacoidea'' is the same word as a {{w|Parastacoidea|real world superfamily}} that includes species of freshwater crayfish. The genus ''Tegoparastacoidea'' is a combination of "parastacoidea" and "tego", the Latin word for "cover".
