'''Male Sheargrubs''' ({{j|ウジンコ♂|Ujinko ♂|Parrot Maggot ♂}}) can easily be distinguished from [[Female Sheargrub]]s by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed to scavenge dead [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, and will attack [[leader]]s and Pikmin when the opportunity presents itself. Sheargrubs have lost both their legs and wings in an odd twist of evolution, and have adapted to a life spent mostly underground. | |||
In {{P1}}, any damage dealt to one while it's eating a Pikmin will not take effect until after that Pikmin's death. The only way to defeat one while it has a Pikmin in its grasp is to land a direct hit on its back with a [[throw]], killing it instantly. This was changed in {{P2}} and stayed that way for future games, allowing players to still kill them in any way, even while they're eating Pikmin. Sheargrubs, both male and female, will also deconstruct any nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]], which makes defeating these pesky creatures soon after landing a top priority to avoid having to rebuild them. | In {{P1}}, any damage dealt to one while it's eating a Pikmin will not take effect until after that Pikmin's death.

In ''Pikmin 3'', they can [[Health#Regeneration|regenerate health]] while buried, and are able to fully regenerate in 30 seconds, just like the Female Sheargrubs. If only 20% of their health remains, they return to their original spot to bury and heal, and when their health reaches 50%, they come out again, if there are any prey in range. While they're regenerating, their [[HUD#Health wheel|health wheel]] will be constantly visible above the ground. | In ''Pikmin 3'', they can [[Health#Regeneration|regenerate health]] while buried, and are able to fully regenerate in 30 seconds, just like the Female Sheargrubs.

During prolonged battles, Male Sheargrubs will shake their attackers by burrowing underground. Don't let your guard down until you're sure the area is clear of enemies.''" | |||

Like the [[Female Sheargrub]], this creature is called "Male" Sheargrub due to it being the male counterpart. The word "Sheargrub" is a combination of "shear", ("to cut"), and "grub". Sheargrubs look like grubs, and have scissor-like pincers, which they use to chomp down on [[bridges]]; when they do so, a sound similar to a pair of scissors being closed can be heard. Their Japanese name, {{j|ウジンコ♂|Ujinko ♂}}, can be translated to "Parrot Maggot ♂". The word "parrot" could be referencing its beak, which is similar to that of a parakeet. The name also has the {{w|Mars symbol}}, for identifying it as male. The Male Sheargrub's scientific name is ''himeagea mandibulosa'', which has the unknown word ''himeagea'', and the word ''mandibulosa'', which is Latin for "mandible". | |||
In ''Pikmin'', its internal name is <code>kabekuiB</code>, which is a combination of {{j|かべ|kabe|wall|f=tp}} and {{j|く|kui|to eat|f=tp}}. Male Sheargrubs are only known to eat [[bridge]]s, not [[wall]]s, which raises the question of the choice towards the name "wall eater"; it is possible that, [[Pikmin prerelease information|at one point in development]], Sheargrubs had a different purpose. The <code>B</code> in this name serves to disambiguate between the other members of the [[mandiblard family]], with the Female Sheargrub using the letter <code>A</code>, and the Shearwig using <code>C</code>. The internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is simply <code>ujib</code>. <code>uji</code> is part of its Japanese name, and <code>b</code> is once again an identifier. Like ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'' calls it <code>ujinko_b</code>, where <code>b</code> is the identifier. | |||
