However, both have the same species name, ''reptantia''. In real-world classification, [[Mistake|this is impossible]], as two different species cannot have the same species name. This is fixed in the European [[Region|version]] of ''Hey! Pikmin'', which gives the Armurk a completely different scientific name. | ||

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]].

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. | The Armurk is the [[boss]] of [[Sparkling Labyrinth]] in ''Hey! Pikmin''.
