The '''Shearwig''' ({{j|トビンコ|Tobinko|Tiny Flier}}) is an [[enemy]] in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The females of this species are never seen, as, according to [[Olimar's notes]], they spend nearly their entire life underground, somewhat similar to cicadas. They also do not possess the males' wings. The males have a dark green shell, sporting simple wings and large, sickle-shaped mandibles. They are slightly more aggressive than [[Male Sheargrub]]s, and take leave off the ground to hover up high after having lost at least half of their [[health]] to allow it to steadily return. While up in the air, these creatures are still within the reach of a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] [[throw]], of which just one accurate button-press is enough to either kill it, or knock it into the ground.

The Shearwigs also appear in {{hp}}, exclusively as part of the [[boss]] fight against the [[Queen Shearwig]]. In this game, they only fly around to serve as a line of defense, move towards a target while spinning, chomp on Pikmin, and eat them, all as commanded by the queen. They are one of the few enemies in the game that don't have an entry in the [[creature log]].

In {{p3}}, Shearwigs fly almost all the time while fighting and swoop down to grab Pikmin and eat them. Instead of healing while in flight, they roost and go underground, and can fully heal in 30 seconds. They will go underground to heal when their health reaches 20% or lower, and will emerge after it reaches 50%, if there are prey nearby. This makes them easy to strike down and deal good damage to, and makes them easy targets for [[Winged Pikmin]].

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]''{{'s}} [[2-Player Mode]], Shearwigs may sometimes pop out when the player digs up a [[Crystallized Telekinesis|yellow marble]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', their only Story Mode appearance is in the [[Formidable Oak]], so they cannot be carried back as they just disappear into [[Plasm Wraith|plasm]]. They behave as normal in [[Bingo Battle]] and [[Mission Mode]]. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they serve as the [[Queen Shearwig]]'s troops and attacks, similar to [[Scornets]] in the [[Scornet Maestro]] battle in ''Pikmin 3''.

{{transcript|Shearwigs are essentially Male Sheargrubs with wings. You can pluck a Shearwig from the air with a toss of a single Pikmin, then defeat it quickly with a small swarm. Although it takes some effort to aim and fire at the little bugs, they provide a good source of Pikmin sprouts.|block=y}}

{{transcript|These creatures behave much like Male Sheargrubs, burrowing underground and waiting to attack unsuspecting prey. Once above ground, however, Shearwigs fly into the air and attack your Pikmin from above. When you encounter a group of Shearwigs, move out of range and attack the enemies from a distance. During prolonged battles, Shearwigs will shake their attackers by burrowing underground. Don’t let your guard down until you’re sure the area is clear of enemies.|block=y}}

In the same game, Pikmin that are thrown or ordered into an area where Shearwigs are under the ground attack the ground as if something were there (similarly to the way [[White Pikmin]] [[Dig|unearth]] buried treasure). However, the Shearwigs will not come to the surface unless [[Captain Olimar]] moves near enough. This is useful for when Pikmin need to carry objects through an area with Shearwigs or [[Sheargrubs]] (such as the [[Guard Satellite]] or the [[Extraordinary Bolt]]), as the enemies don't attack, and it can be used to indicate whether any [[Mandiblard]]s lie ahead.

|scientific = ''Himeagea volaris''. ''Volaris'' is related to the Latin ''volare'', which means "fly".

|internal  = Internally, it is known in ''Pikmin'' has <code>kabekuiC</code>. The <code>C</code> in the name is what distinguishes it from the other [[mandiblard family|mandiblards]]; in particular, the [[Female Sheargrub]] uses <code>A</code> and the Male uses <code>B</code>. In ''Pikmin 2'', the internal name is simply <code>tobi</code>, which is part of its Japanese name ({{j|とび|tobi|flying}}), and in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', it is the entirety of the Japanese name (<code>tobinko</code>).

*The female version of the Shearwig cannot fly, stays underground, and has not been seen in-game, but it has been mentioned in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]]. It is known not to be the Queen Shearwig, as it's an entirely different species and has wings, contradicting Olimar's description.
