Editing Mandiblard family

The '''Mandiblard Family''' consists of three known species, two of which are known to demonstrate a degree of [[Wikipedia:sexual dimorphism|sexual dimorphism]] not uncommon to insects. On a whole they have little vitality and are not especially dangerous, but like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], they are infamous for tearing apart nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]] which [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] have built. Due to their general inability to present any danger, these enemies are usually found in groups of 3 or more, and are always buried in the ground, appearing only when a Captain or Pikmin approaches close by.

== Male Sheargrubs ==

'''Male Sheargrubs''' have a dark purple shell and large mandibles. They are capable of attacking [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] and the [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], but are not a serious threat, as they can only eat one Pikmin at a time. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', when a Male Sheargrub has a Pikmin in its mouth, it is invulnerable to most attacks and can only be defeated either after it has eaten the Pikmin, or if a Pikmin is thrown directly onto its back. This was fixed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', allowing players to kill them by any method even if they have a Pikmin in their jaws.

== Female Sheargrubs ==

'''Female Sheargrubs''' are a much lighter color than the [[Male Sheargrub|males]] and have significantly smaller mandibles, making them unable to cause direct harm to you or your [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], though they are still a menace to [[bridge]]s. They can be ignored in most situations, perhaps only useful as a means of easy-access [[Nectar]], which they will produce if killed while [[Ultra-bitter Spray|petrified]].

== Shearwigs ==

'''Shearwigs''' are enemies in both ''Pikmin'' games. The females of this species are never seen, as they spend nearly their entire life underground. The males have a dark green shell, sporting simple wings and large, sickle-shaped mouthparts. They are slightly more aggressive than [[Male Sheargrub]]s and will fly to safety when their health descends to the yellow zone; up in the air, they regain health. One well-aimed [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] will bring a flying Shearwig down for good. Both Sheargrubs and Shearwigs will drown quickly in water, so luring them into a pool is an alternative strategy if you're short of Pikmin. Shearwigs deal the most damage to captains out of any enemy in ''Pikmin 2.'' 

== Swarming Sheargrub ==

The '''Swarming Sheargrub''' is a large, Female Sheargrub-like enemy. It in every way excluding size and color looks like a female Sheargrub. They are known to follow Pikmin from a distance, and be a distraction to your Pikmin swarm. They can grow in size after consuming a dose of Nectar.
