The '''Segmented Crawbster''' is a boss in [[Pikmin 2]]. It is the boss of the [[Cavern of Chaos|Cavern of Chaos's]] final sublevel (10), which is located in the [[Wistful Wild]]. This is the only place where it is found. This crab-like creature has one large arm with blades on it and a vestigial left arm. It also has a rather thick shell protecting it. This creature rolls after the active captain, occasionally crushing Pikmin with its hard shell. It may crash into a wall and cause [[Hazards#Rocks|rocks]] to fall. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, and while doing so, will expose its weak spot: its flashing underbelly. It will then get back up and swing its large arm around back and forth two or so times and continue its assault. This enemy is animated differently than most other creatures in Pikmin 2.




==Killing Methods==
In order to defeat this creature, it must be led into a wall while it is rolling. Its rolling is more focused on the active captain, not the Pikmin. There is a slight chance that eggs will drop along with the boulders; these may contain [[Mitite]]s, [[spray]]s, or [[nectar]], and they will usually continue to drop every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. If the boulders carry eggs with them, do not make Pikmin drink the nectar until the Crawbster has been defeated; they will most likely be crushed.  After the boulders have fallen, the captain needs to be on either the left or right side of the creature and must throw his Pikmin onto its underside. After enough time has passed, it will get up and swing its bulking arm, which cannot kill Pikmin, but deflowers them. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will groan and squeal as it is underbelly explodes violently, spewing goo particles all over the immediate vicinity and drop the [[Silencer]]. In terms of which pikmin are the most effective for defeating the Crawbster, it is advisable to use a group of around 10-15 Purple Pikmin (They must have Flowers so they do not lag behind and get crushed).  However, if few/no Purples are flowers, Flower/Budded Red Pikmin can do the job, as they have average speed, but the second strongest power in the game.  A group of 15-25 Red Pikmin is a good number to attack the Crawbster with.

*Using [[Ultra-spicy Spray]] is advisable since it makes the Pikmin very fast, making it easier to avoid the rolling, especially for [[Purple Pikmin]]. The spray effect lasts for about two assaults.
*[[Ultra-bitter Spray]] can also be used to delay the end of the Pikmin's attacking time.

==Trivia==
*The Segmented Crawbster cannot be brought to use his rolling attack in the Piklopedia.
*The Segmented Crawbster is the second rarest creature in the Pikmin series so far, the first being the [[Smoky Progg]]. That is because only one of it is ever found, and it is the only known member of its family (Creep-crab family). The Smoky Progg's family is unknown, which makes it rarer. Also, the Smoky Progg can only be found on certain days, while the Segmented Crawbster can be found any day you enter the cave.
