The Grubchucker does not demonstrate any agression towards lone captains, but will attack Pikmin within reach. The Grubchucker attacks with a double swipe, grabbing at most a single Pikmin per claw and two Pikmin per attacking cycle. Any seized Pikmin are thrown into the mouth on top of its head, and the Grubchucker needs to be knocked down in order to free the trapped Pikmin.

Grubchuckers become aggressive towards Pikmin in a radius approximately twice their width. They pursue Pikmin slowly, but the range within which they continue pursuit is much larger than the initial aggro radius.

==Appearance==
The Grubchucker is a large, tall and lanky bipedal crustacean. Its legs have a knock-kneed posture and bend backwards compared to a traditional biped, and its feet have three toes (two in the front and one in the back). It has a soft, round body and a fleshy mouth running front to back on top of it. It has small compound eyes on the bottom of its body and four antennae.

It has a soft, round body and a fleshy mouth running front to back on top of it. It has small compound eyes on the bottom of its body and four antennae.


The Grubchucker's appearance is evocative of decapod crustaceans. Its eyes are similar in shape and presentation to fiddler crabs or hermit crabs. Its arms resemble those of {{w|Macrobrachium|freshwater prawn}}, and its forearms are sparsely covered in beige {{w|seta}}. Although its limbs have a rigid exoskeleton, its thorax does not, and appears fleshy and soft like a {{w|Soft-shell crab|freshly-molted crab}}.

The Grubchucker's body is mostly deep blue. The bottom of its thorax and the undersides of its limbs are beige. Its claws and toes are proximally blue and distally pink. The lips of its mouth are a light blue and the interior is a deep red.

Its bell-shaped body is subtly segmented radially, and has a large, fleshy mouth running front to back on it somewhat similar in appearance to the mouth of a {{w|giant clam}}.

Grubchuckers have and use typical crustacean mouthparts earlier in their life cycle, and the pseudo-mouth stays closed until adulthood. Adult Grubchuckers no longer use the mouthparts below their body and feed entirely with the large mouth-basket.


It makes little noise when idle, but growls and bellows when being attacked by Pikmin.

*Two are found in the [[Serene Shores]] during [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. One is found in the drainable water section with [[Pricklepuff]]s in the main game, west from the Water's Edge landing site. This one holds an [[Extraordinary Bolt]]. The other appears north from the Water's Edge landing site behind the [[Breakable pot|breakable pots]], where the [[Giant's Fossil]] is located in the main game. Both of these Grubchuckers stand in water.
