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]].
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! The way it moves is quite enchanting to watch. If only we could super-duper-size all creatures like this!|block=y}}

{{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.

If this species locates an abundant food source, they won't leave it. Sometimes they will stay at that spot for years, steadily growing to gigantic proportions, like this one.
