The '''Segmented Crawbster''' ({{j|ゴロムシ|Goro Mushi|Rolling Bug}}) is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is the boss of the [[Cavern of Chaos]]' final sublevel (10), which is located in the [[Wistful Wild]]; this is the only place where it can be found. This lobster-like creature has one large, club-like right leg, and a far smaller, claw-like left leg, and also has a rather thick shell protecting it from damage.
The '''Segmented Crawbster''' is a boss on [[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, and an exceedingly smaller left arm. It also has a rather thick shell protecting it. This creature rolls up to attack other things. It may crash into a [[Wall Glitches|wall]] and cause boulders to fall. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, while doing so it will expose its weak spot: its flashing, tender underbelly. It will then get back up and swing its large arm around back and forth two or so times and continue its assault.

{{enemy stats
In order to defeat this creature, you must take your Pikmin and avoid its rolling and lead it into a wall. Its rolling is more focused on the active pilot, not your Pikmin. Keep that in mind if you hide near [[The Ship]]'s pod. When it crashes, the boulders land near the active pilot as well. It would be unwise to be near the pod because then you would be in a boxed in area with a slim chance of avoiding falling boulders. If you have Purple Pikmin or a lot of other Pikmin on the main field, an egg will drop as well, it may contain [[Mitite]]s, [[spray]]s, or [[nectar]], and it will usually continue to happen every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. After the boulders fall, you need to get on the left or right side of it and throw Pikmin onto its underside. It will then get up and swing its bulking arm, which can't kill Pikmin, but it will deflower them. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will drop the [[Silencer]].

{{refs|note}}
*The best way to defeat it is using [[ultra-spicy spray]] since it makes your Pikmin very fast, making it easier to avoid the rolling, especially if you are using [[Purple Pikmin]]. Then you simply attack its vulnerable underside and repeat. Try to do this in two assaults, because the spray effect lasts about that long. 
*Another way is to use the above strategy, but also use [[ultra-bitter spray]] on the creature. Your Pikmin will then attack and leave about half of its health left. Petrify it again and repeat and it should crumble into nectar. This is the safest way to win, as it only has the chance to attack one time. 
*If conserving your spray is desired, using [[White Pikmin]] is a viable option, as they can move fast enough to avoid his attacks when controlled properly (This will of course take longer than using sprays and [[Purple Pikmin]]). Red Pikmin may also be used if Whites are in short supply which, while they are not quite as fast, are also stronger attackers. 


==Behavior==
{{notes|enemy}}
The Segmented Crawbster begins situated far above its arena, out of sight, only to violently drop down when something moves under its resting point (though, this drop cannot harm Pikmin). When idle, it will crawl around the space it's confined to, in a relatively docile state for the creature. If it notices any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s, it will turn to face them, and when close enough, curl up into a ball and roll towards them at high speeds; attempting to [[crush]] them under its immense weight. While rolling, the Segmented Crawbster homes in on the currently active leader, regardless of their position; much like the rocks created by [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s. If it ends up ramming itself into a wall, it will temporarily get flipped over, and the vibrations caused by its collision will cause many [[boulder]]s to fall around the active leader. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, and while doing so will expose its only damageable spot: its flashing underbelly. After about 8 seconds, it will then get back up and attempt to swing its large right leg around three times, although if it leg collides with a wall, the attack will finish early. Any Pikmin hit by the attack will get knocked down and always lose their [[maturity]]; apart from Purple Pikmin who will only lose their maturities sometimes. Once finished swinging around its right leg, it will go back to its crawling state until it notices any more Pikmin .
 
== Strategy ==
{{guide}}
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 [[leader]], not the [[Pikmin family|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. After the boulders have fallen, the leader 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 can't kill Pikmin, but does knock off their flowers. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will groan and squeal as it is underbelly explodes violently, spewing goo particles all over the immediate vicinity, before dropping 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 &ndash; they must have flowers so they do not lag behind and get crushed. Care must be taken if one is to use them, as if they have lost their flowers due to the arm attack, they will surely be crushed by the roll. However, if few/no Purples are flowers, flower or budded Red Pikmin can do the job, as they have average speed and 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.
*The falling rocks land near the active [[leader]], so leaving a leader outside the arena and switching to them whenever it hits a wall is a good tactic.
*Another good way to avoid the falling rocks would be to zoom out the [[camera]] as far as it can go (with {{button|gc|r|wii|padlr}}), and change the view to top view mode (with {{button|gc|z|wii|padu}}) before the battle. This will give you an extensive view of where each rock will fall, making it easier to avoid them.
*When attacking the Crawbster, be sure to throw Pikmin from the creature's ''left'' side (your right). This will minimize the amount of Pikmin struck by the Crawbster's bulking arm, and in turn, keep your Pikmin at flower level.
For a speedy completion, the player can dismiss 100 Pikmin near its backside right after it falls from the sky, and then get ready lure it into a wall, away from the Pikmin. Once it hits the wall, the Pikmin that were chasing after it should start attacking at a steady pace.{{cite youtube|FHStn4m-_QE|where the Segmented Crawbster is defeated in one cycle|m=15|s=4}}

==Naming==
{{naming
|common    = Segmented Crawbster. "Segmented" comes from the fact that its outer shell is made up of several segments that allow it to bend its body. "Crawbster" is a combination of "{{w|Crayfish|crawfish}}" and "{{w|lobster}}".
|jpcommon  = {{j|ゴロムシ|Goro Mushi}}. {{j|ゴロ|goro}} is short for {{j|ゴロゴロ|gorogoro}}, an onomatopeia for something heavy rolling, referring its ability to roll along the ground. {{j|ムシ|mushi}} means "bug" or "insect".
|jpname    = {{j|オオダンゴロムシ|Oo Dangoro Mushi|Giant Rolling Pillbug}}.
|scientific = ''Parastacoidea reptantia''. ''Reptantia'' is similar to the Latin ''reptare'', which means "to crawl slowly", perhaps referencing how it non-rolling method of movement is to crawl quite slowly.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When it crashes into a wall, it may cause some [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Embed glitch|embed glitches]] to occur.
*You cannot get Segmented Crawbster to use his rolling attack in the Piklopedia, for it only chases after captains.
*When it falls down on the tiled floor in the sublevel where it is found, or when it bangs its right leg against, pieces of tile will fling from the impact; however, even in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], where no tiles are found, it will still show tiles flinging from its fall, as they are a part of its impact animation.
*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 Segmented Crawbster is the only regular boss to not be found in the ''Pikmin 2'' [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. It is also the only boss that Louie cannot be seen with.
