'''Shearwigs''' ({{j|トビンコ|Tobinko|Flying Parrot}}) are enemies 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 kill one. | |||
Like other [[Mandiblard family|mandiblards]], Shearwigs have an affinity for chewing apart [[Bridge|stick bridges]], and they lose health while in water, in the first two games. Because when they are being attacked they fly up, they will stop losing health as soon as they stop being submerged. On the ground, if they are hit in the back, they will die instantly, just like a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]. | Like other [[Mandiblard family|mandiblards]], Shearwigs have an affinity for chewing apart [[Bridge|stick bridges]], and they lose health while in water, in the first two games.

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 {{p3}}, Shearwigs fly almost all the time while fighting and swoop down to grab Pikmin and eat them.

In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' | 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''. | ||

===Nintendo Player's Guide=== | |||
"''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.''" | |||
=== | |||
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide=== | ===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide=== | ||
"''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.''" | |||

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Shearwigs gain a new form of attack wherein as soon as they emerge from the ground, they will immediately take flight rather than attempt to chase Pikmin on the ground. Once in the air, they will swoop down, grab Pikmin in their mandibles, lift them into the air and eat them. The same strategies from previous games are effective on the Shearwig. If in the air, they are also vulnerable to Pikmin being thrown at them to knock them onto the ground, or to get swarmed by [[Winged Pikmin]] while in the air. [[Rock Pikmin]] can also instantly defeat an airborne Shearwig. | In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Shearwigs gain a new form of attack wherein as soon as they emerge from the ground, they will immediately take flight rather than attempt to chase Pikmin on the ground.

This creature's name is a combination of "shear" and "{{w|earwig}}" – a real-life insect that also has large mandibles and wings. In Japan, it is known as {{j|トビンコ|Tobinko}}, which is a combination of {{j|とび|tobi|flying|f=tp}} and {{j|いんこ|inko|parrot|f=tp}}. In its scientific name, ''Himeagea volaris'', ''volaris'' is related to the Latin ''volare'', which means "fly". | |||
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'', it is the entirety of the Japanese name (<code>tobinko</code>). | |||

*On [[The Forest Navel]], one can lure Shearwigs into the pathway leading to the [[Libra]], or even to the part's island itself, and get it to fall into the [[abyss]]. This can be achieved by making it begin flight while near the edge; at times, the creature will end its flight stage above the pit, and plummet right down. This kills the Shearwig. | *On [[The Forest Navel]], one can lure Shearwigs into the pathway leading to the [[Libra]], or even to the part's island itself, and get it to fall into the [[abyss]].
