Armored Mawdad is the first boss in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the boss of the [[Garden of Hope]]. It is a massive beast with a multitude of small gecko-like legs, a large head, yellow eyes, a bluish-green underbelly, a gaping mouth, and large curved mandibles. The boss crawls about and is able to climb up the sides of walls as a means of fleeing. Its shell is [[crystal]] and can be broken by [[Rock Pikmin]] to expose the soft skin underneath. | Armored Mawdad is the first boss in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the boss of the [[Garden of Hope]].
