The '''Sporegrub''' ({{j|オッコ|Okko|Tiny Faller}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}. According to [[Creature log|Olimar's notes]], it is a mutated variant of Sheargrub. It's smaller than other mandiblards, about one third the height of Olimar. It is mostly pink with light spots, but has green menacing eyes and a brown face. It climbs down from vines, and eventually falls on the ground, ready to attack Olimar or his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is quite a rare enemy, only appearing in two areas.

== Behavior ==
{{todo|Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.}}

A Sporegrub spawns on pre-determined paths and will crawl along its [[vine]] until it falls off.  Once it does it slowly crawls along the ground and turns around when it hits a wall.  If it detects something it wants to attack, it pauses for a short second and releases a poison cloud.

== Locations ==
*'''[[Ravaged Rustworks]]'''
**[[Steel Pipe Forest]]: This is where they are the most frequent, acting as the "gimmick" of the level, being found throughout the whole area. There are lots of twisting vines all over the level, allowing them to quickly travel around.
*'''[[Lushlife Murk]]'''
**[[Burning Bog]]: The first notable place they are found in is the room with the [[Tangerine Paste]]. They act as a threat that distracts the player, crawling from the ceiling from multiple vines. Here, the player must multitask between fighting the [[Puffstalk]] in the room and the Sporegrubs. They also appear a few times throughout the level, and they can land on the player's "raft" and overall cause more chaos.

== Strategy ==
{{guide}}

Because Sporegrubs move so slowly they are easy to hit; they only take a single hit on top to kill it.  However, if one misses and the Pikmin ends up behind it, it is best to whistle it because the Pikmin will remain in the Sporegrub’s attack range for long enough to be killed. When the creature is moving, it is best to slightly lead the shot.

{{stub}}
{{see more|Mandiblard family#Naming}}
{{naming
|common     = Sporegrub. From "Sheargrub", a word present in the names of various members of the mandiblard family, and "spore".
|scientific = ''Himeagea vineacorruo''.
|jpcommon   = {{j|落っこちる|Okkochiru}}. It which means "falling", and is likely a pun on the expression {{j|子|Ko}} found in the name of other mandiblards, which in this context means "tiny", particularly "tiny bug". Hence, the name can translate to "Tiny Faller".
|jpname     = {{j|オトシヒメアギト|Otoshi Hime Agito|Dropping Princess Jaw}}. From {{j|ヒメアギト科|Hime Agito Ka}}, the Mandiblard family's Japanese name.
