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.

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 – 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.

*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}}

*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.
