The '''Hermit Crawmad''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the first known member of the [[crawmad family]]. They are similar to stout lobster- or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of [[Wikipedia:Squilla mantis|squillas]], but are in fact related to [[Wikipedia:hermit crab|hermit crabs]]. 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. | |||
This is the only enemy in the series to vary in size, which is [[Randomness|random]] 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 or Pikmin seeds they are worth. Their nest also varies in size to accommodate the creature's. | |||

{{transcript|Because of the shell on its top half, the Hermit Crawmad is invincible when it's looking out at the battlefield from its hole. The only way to defeat one of the creatures is to draw it from its hole, avoid its attack, then swarm it as it retreats.}} | |||

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. | 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.

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. | The Hermit Crawmad is a semi-passive creature.

*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. | *Very rarely, if one petrify a Hermit Crawmad and kill it in the water in its dwelling, it will produce a strange butterfly shaped "wave" effect that will last for the remainder of the time a player is there (only observed on sublevel 6 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]). | ||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The "camabarus" used as its genus is similar sounding to the genus "cambarus" used in the real world as a genus for a diverse group of crayfish. | |||
*The nests of Hermit Crawmads are the only enemy-related object not to appear in the game's [[Unused content|early configuration files]], making it likely that they were originally going to appear without the nest. | |||
