The '''Hermit Crawmad''' ({{j|シャコモドキ|Shako Modoki|Pseudo Mantis Shrimp}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'',  ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', and the first known member of the [[Crawmad family]]. Hermit Crawmads are similar to 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. These enemies live their lives in holes, and pop out when prey approach. With a quick lunge, they can catch their target, reel back, and feed on it in its burrow.
The '''Hermit Crawmad''' is an enemy in Pikmin 2 and the only known member of the Crawmad family. It resembles a lobster-type creature with large claws. It sits in its hole, and is usually found around watery areas even though it can survive on land. It will peek out of its hole when the Pikmin approach it, but it will attack if the Pikmin get near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then going back to its nest, where the Pikmin will get eaten. The only way to kill it is to lure it out and attack it before it goes back. It has surprisingly low defense for its appearance. After being killed, its hole dissappears. Larger versions of this enemy exist due to its size distribution being random, but are not considered a seperate species, neither do they give more [[Poko|Pokos]] or Pikmin.


This is one of two enemies in the series (the other being the [[Swarming Sheargrub]]) that can change size. Each Hermit Crawmad's size is [[Randomness|randomly]] determined every time they are generated on a map. They only have different sizes in ''Pikmin 2'', and their size does not change the amount of [[Poko]]s they are worth, how much health they have, or the number of Pikmin seeds they produce. Their nests also vary in size to accommodate the creatures.
==Notes==
=== Olimar's Notes ===
[[Image:Hermitcrawmad.jpg|thumb|left|A Hermit Crawmad peeking out of its nest.]]
Looking at the eyes and sickle-shaped legs characteristic of squillas, one would think this is a squilla relative.  In fact, it is a relative of the hermit crab. This species, however, has migrated from seaside life in a shell and instead inhabits burrows in the ground. While it's legs appear sickle-like, they are pincers that have evolved into a fin shape.  This beast feeds on small creatures that pass by its lair, dragging them inside to eat them.

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Hermit Crawmad is a burrowing amphibious creature. When you approach the enemy's hiding spot, it pops out of the ground and lunges towards your squad. If the enemy manages to snatch any of your Pikmin, it drags its prey back underground.
 
After you coax a Hermit Crawmad out of its hole, flank the creature to keep your Pikmin out of harm's way, then send your squad charging in to attack the Hermit Crawmad's fleshy body. Since these enemies tend to lurk in the water, it's best to use only Blue Pikmin during these encounters.|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
Although it looks like a squilla, it is actually a relative of the hermit crab. Instead of a shell, it nests in a burrow it has dug for itself, and drags its prey into it to feed on it.
 
Feature #1: Living in a burrow
:Normally, it hides in its burrow and emerges when prey passes by.
:(Image text:
:*"By kicking its burrow with its bare abdomen, it leaps out with great vigor to catch its prey"
:*"They are thought to have migrated to burrows due to a chronic shortage of shells.")
 
Feature #2: Traits of two species
:It has traits of both squillas and hermit crabs.
:(Image text:
:*"In some cases, the pincers have a sickle-like shape (squilla)"
:*"Compound eyes with a central banded area (squilla)"
:*"Walking legs flattened like fins (squilla)"
:*"Abdomen not covered by its shell (hermit crab)")

==Behavior==
[[File:P2 Hermit Crawmad Exposed.png|thumb|150px|left|A Hermit Crawmad scuttling back to its hole in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
The Hermit Crawmad is a semi-passive creature. It sits inside its hole, and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s approach it and it will attack if one gets too near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then backpedaling to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. If it misses, it will turn back around and return to its dwelling, slower than usual. It can climb walls if it is necessary for it to get back to its nest. While sitting on the nest and peeking out, if it can no longer see prey nearby, it'll retreat back inside. In ''Pikmin 2'', its nest will disintegrate if it is killed, but will always remain in the sequel.
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
===Pikmin===
Lure it out of its hole by moving some Pikmin near the nest, then run away. It'll come out and try to get a Pikmin. [[Whistle]] the Pikmin to safety, and when the creature starts to turn around, [[Group move|swarm]] its backside. Another strategy would be to move the current leader to lure the Hermit Crawmad away from its hole, then swarming it. In ''Pikmin 2'', you can also use [[Purple Pikmin]] to stun the Hermit Crawmad on its way back to its hole, and in ''Pikmin 3'', [[dodging]] is a great way to get out of the way of an incoming Crawmad. [[Charging]] is also very useful for a swift victory.
 
===Leaders===
Go near the hole and wait a second, then run. It'll come out. Proceed to [[punch]] its backside. This will have to be done multiple times to finish it off.
 
==Glitches==
*If the player [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrifies]] a Hermit Crawmad while it is performing its lunge out of water, and then pushes the creature into the water, it will generate the splash effect even though it's not moving. If the enemy dies, the effect will stay there forever.{{cite youtube|tmr9s1tGKdg|of a petrified Hermit Crawmad leaving a water splash effect behind}}
*While petrified and on the water, a Crawmad can be damaged simply by having Pikmin walk into it. The reason for this is not known.

==Trivia==
*The nests of Hermit Crawmads are the only enemy-related object not to appear in the game's [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|early configuration files]], making it likely that they were originally going to appear without the nest or reuse the [[Breadbug]]'s nest.
*While the Piklopedia entry states that the Hermit Crawmad's pincers evolved into a fin shape, in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they were changed to actual pincers, possibly to match the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s design. Olimar’s notes in ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'' were updated slightly to reflect this change, making the Hermit Crawmad one of the only returning creatures from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' to have a changed entry. According to the Japanese Pikmin Garden entry, the Hermit Crawmad seen in ''Pikmin 2'' is a different variant.
*Due to a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2|glitch]], the Hermit Crawmad may possibly [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Enemies that can die|die in the Piklopedia]].
*In ''Pikmin 2'', if a non-Blue Pikmin is carried by a Hermit Crawmad to water, it will escape the creature's grasp and start drowning instead. If the player does nothing, the enemy will repeatedly attempt to eat the Pikmin, which will in turn repeatedly escape and start the drowning process from scratch.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/CleanFuriousJalapenoPastaThat-Q0HhYySx9TVwwVTG|Twitch clip|Twitch}}
*The Hermit Crawmad and the [[Bulborb]] are the only enemies in ''Pikmin 2'' to have a clay figure modelled after them.
