The '''Male Sheargrub''' ({{j|ウジンコ♂|Ujinko ♂|Tiny Maggot ♂}}) is an [[enemy]] found in the {{ps}}. Male Sheargrubs 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. | The '''Male Sheargrub''' ({{j|ウジンコ♂|Ujinko ♂|Tiny Maggot ♂}}) is an [[enemy]] found in the {{ps}}.

In | In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it. This was fixed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', allowing players to kill them even if they have a Pikmin in their grasp. 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. | ||
These creatures are also related to the [[Shearwig]], beyond sharing families. They are both male mandiblards that attack in the same fashion, and in some cases, specifically [[The Forest Navel]], appear in large swarms together. | These creatures are also related to the [[Shearwig]], beyond sharing families.
