The''' Peckish Aristocrab''' ({{j|カニタマ|Kanitama|Onion Crab}}) is a crustacean [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Its overall appearance resembles a beige 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 considerably larger like the male of a {{w|Fiddler crab}}; with transparency (Pikmin 3 only). It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes but are actually its gills, 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 a long purple tongue. The creature mainly rests in a motionless position, clacking its large pincer, 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. 
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 like the male of a Fiddler crab; with transparency (Pikmin 3 only). It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes but are actually its gills, 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 a long purple tongue.

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, but if it misses, it will get its claw stuck on the ground, leaving it vulnerable to attacks.

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}}

{{transcript|Click-click-click goes the crab's pincer as it tries to impress other crabs. The crab with the biggest claw will be the most popular. Being popular means not having to work as hard to claw their way to the top of the crustacean hierarchy. The natural world is a lot like our world in that way!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Its unnaturally large claw is used for catching prey, for self-defense, and most surprisingly, for its mating call. Most aspects of the Aristocrab's life revolve around it, which may explain why they become fearful and docile when the claw is damaged. It would also account for the claw's remarkable regenerative capabilities, which can restore it completely in a single night.
It is also known to blow bubbles when under attack, but this is a result of it venting from the wrong discharge valve when under extreme stress.|block=y}}
=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Great for hot pot! Remove the shell, and cook legs in the hot broth. When they turn nice and red, pull them out, and slather in liver paste before eating!|block=y}}

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.

There's also a trick to break its claw and deplete some of its health. If there is a [[Yellow Wollywog]] 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.
