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.

==Behavior==
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 only have a small chance to lose their buds or flowers, the same chance as most other things that knock down Pikmin. 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==
*When it crashes into a wall, it may cause some [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Embed glitch|embed glitches]] to occur.
*When it falls down on the tiled floor in the sublevel where it is found, or when it bangs its right leg against a wall, 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 the tile shard effects are directly tied to the Crawbster, not whatever surface is being hit.
*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.
