The''' Peckish Aristocrab''' ({{j|カニタマ|Kanitama|Onion Crab}}) is a | The''' Peckish Aristocrab''' ({{j|カニタマ|Kanitama|Onion Crab}}) is a crab-like [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Its overall appearance resembles a green onion with four legs coming from underneath, and two claws on each of its sides, one of them being extremely small, while the other is much larger with transparent pincers. It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes, while its real eyes rest on stalks that protrude out from the top of its head. It has a large mouth with a serrated lower jaw and long purple tongue. The creature mainly rests in a motionless position, clacking its large pincers, but can detect Pikmin's presence from afar, and it will quickly scuttle sideways onto the player's path when they enter the area, circling them in order to get in their way. | ||
This creature can react to the Pikmin in many ways, because there are two different ways it can defend itself, and two different ways it can kill Pikmin. When Pikmin are thrown at it, the creature is capable of maneuvering its massive claw to shield itself from the thrown Pikmin. It can also defend itself by blowing bubbles at the Pikmin, which can trap them inside, making them float around for a long period of time until the bubble pops. This can trap [[leader]]s as well. It attacks by grasping multiple Pikmin with its claw and dropping them into its gaping mouth. It can also stab the ground with its claw to attack | This creature can react to the Pikmin in many ways, because there are two different ways it can defend itself, and two different ways it can kill Pikmin.

Peckish Aristocrabs are able to dodge most charge attacks, so its best to throw your Pikmin directly onto this enemy. To keep your squad safe from this enemy's attacks, you can either use Rock Pikmin to break a Peckish Aristocrab's claw, or you can flank the creature and attack from behind. Peckish Aristocrabs have difficulty turning, but they can move from side to side very quickly.|block=y}} | Peckish Aristocrabs are able to dodge most charge attacks, so its best to throw your Pikmin directly onto this enemy.

[[Rock Pikmin]] are capable of breaking the Peckish Aristocrab's larger claw, since it is very [[crystal]]-like in appearance; it is more durable than a nodule, but hitting the claw with Rock Pikmin causes small pieces to fly off. Eventually, the claw will break, rendering the Aristocrab unable to snatch Pikmin, its only means of defense being blowing bubbles and shaking off attacking Pikmin from there on out. Should the Aristrocrab grab onto any Pikmin, throwing Rock Pikmin at its claw should be enough to release its grip on them. | [[Rock Pikmin]] are capable of breaking the Peckish Aristocrab's larger claw, since it is very [[crystal]]-like in appearance; it is more durable than a nodule, but hitting the claw with Rock Pikmin causes small pieces to fly off.

Throwing bomb rocks at the creature is also a possibility, but it is much less effective than having it eat one, as though the claw will break, the creature will only lose about half of its health. Additionally, it can be challenging to actually hit with an explosion, as the Aristocrab sidesteps very quickly and can escape from a bomb rock's blast radius. | Throwing bomb rocks at the creature is also a possibility, but it is much less effective than having it eat one, as though the claw will break, the creature will only lose about half of its health.

If there is a [[Yellow Wollyhop]] in the area, lure it into jumping on the Aristocrab. It will immediately break its claw and make it lose a third its health. The same will happen with with an [[Armored Cannon Larva]]'s rocks, as can be seen on the [[Sandbox Kingdom]]. | ||
Another strategy is to quickly get behind it and bombard it with Rock Pikmin, which can kill it in only a few seconds. Due to the Aristocrab's high awareness and quick movements, however, this strategy can be difficult to execute effectively. | Another strategy is to quickly get behind it and bombard it with Rock Pikmin, which can kill it in only a few seconds.
