The '''Mama Sheargrub''' ({{j|マザーウジンコ|Mazā Ujin Ko|Mother Tiny Maggot}}) is an large [[enemy]] found in ''Pikmin 4''. It resembles an enlarged [[Female Sheargrub]], but is much deadlier due to its [[Hazard|crushing]] attacks and despite its size it still retains its burrowing capabilities.

{{game help|p4|Fill in the infobox and describe the enemy.}}
The Mama Sheargrub is an enlarged version of the [[Female Sheargrub]]. While mostly retaining its smaller equivalent's passive behavior, it can still pose a threat to Pikmin that try to attack it with its sheer weight.

If a player, Oatchi, or a Pikmin comes nearby the summoning area, it will dig out of the ground and roam around for a bit, generally behaving like a Female Sheargrub. Should any of those three get too close or attack, it will flail and try and flatten anything that is beneath it. Once any threat has been neutralized it will return back into the earth.

The Mama Sheargrub seems unassuming, but can decimate large parts of your squad if not dealt with carefully. It is advised to avoid [[Charge|charging]] this foe with crush-weak Pikmin as there is a chance it could pre-emptively jump and crush those sent towards it. Instead, it is best to throw Pikmin (Preferably  high-damaging Pikmin such as Red Pikmin) repeatedly, whistling back Pikmin thrown off to avoid them being crushed. Purple Pikmin are effective against this foe too, but beware, the fact they stop in mid-air to perform their slam attack means it is not always likely they will latch on. Since the ground it spawns from is always soft, you can use Rock Pikmin to avoid your army getting flattened and only have your Rock Pikmin be temporarily grounded, the Rock Pikmin are extra effective at charging the enemy, 25 Rock Pikmin are enough to defeat this enemy immediately with no casualties. Winged Pikmin are highly unlikely to be crushed by this foe as well, since they always try to be airborne, so using them is comparatively as safe, especially when fought in mud and mold like in [[The Mud Pit]].


{{game help|p4|Add a guide on how to beat it.}}
The Mama Sheargrub can be swiftly be taken care of if you use a [[Spray]] and charge against it with either [[Oatchi]], [[Purple Pikmin]], or [[Rock Pikmin]]. If the ground is soft, you can use Rock Pikmin to avoid your army getting flattened and only have your Rock Pikmin be temporarily grounded.

{{transcript|Since it's exceptionally large, when it squirms to move or wriggles minutely side to side to dig its whole body into the ground like a drill, you can observe it in all its exceptional detail!

{{transcript|The Mama Sheargrub will typically molt when it reaches maturity, then dig itself into the ground to prepare for egg laying. However, certain types, like this specimen, exhibit neoteny and retain the appearance of a juvenile of the species.
