The '''Swarming Sheargrub''' ({{j|ブリコ|Buriko}}) is a green Sheargrub with red eyes found as an [[enemy]] in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It, in every way excluding size and color, resembles a [[Female Sheargrub]]. Swarming Sheargrubs are known to follow [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] from a distance and can distract an entire squad as a result.

They move around in swarms at high speed (fastest of any known [[Mandiblard family|mandiblard]]). They have no form of offense but can move quickly, taking any attacking Pikmin with them. Once they come across any [[nectar]], they will consume it and grow in size. They can also hide under plants, like Pikmin. Most swarms come in groups of eight.

When they spot a salvageable object – such as a [[fruit]], [[pellet]], Victory Macaroon, or carcass – they will jump and sit on top of it, weighing it down and thus, making it require more Pikmin to carry. The larger they are, the more they will weigh.

While they are an annoying hindrance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of mandiblard. However, once a single member of a swarm is harmed, the rest will disperse and run away at very high speeds. It's advised to call all Pikmin back at this point, as they will attempt to chase the fleeing Sheargrubs, only to end up getting themselves lost.

In [[Tropical Wilds]], Swarming Sheargrubs will always spawn above the ground where the [[Lesser Mock Bottom]] is located.

==Locations==
In [[Tropical Wilds]], they spawn on the bend with the two [[Pyroclasmic Slooch|Pyroclasmic Slooches]] in a group of eight above the ground where the [[Lesser Mock Bottom]] is located. However due to their travelling nature, they can cover the entire main area once all bags have been pushed and all bridges built.
In Battle Enemies! [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] eight spawn in the same place, but this time they're much closer to the Master Onion and appear refined to that area of the map.
In Collect Treasures! [[Beastly Caverns]], two groups of four spawn in the top area, one appearing on a drop of [[nectar]] hence growing in size. They patrol the entire above-ground area. To note they stop and hide under some foliage time to time.
In [[Jigsaw Fortress]] layout C, twenty five Swarming Sheargrubs spawn, five groups of five. One group spawns on the fortress itself next to the [[Face Wrinkler]]. The rest spawn on the ground, one near the [[Medusal Slurker]] and [[Insect Condo]], one near the [[Disguised Delicacy]], one near the blue marble and [[Bearded Amprat]] and one near the [[Dapper Blob]]. The four on the ground move about the area and are capable of being crushed by the [[Baldy Long Legs]].


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The best strategy is to throw some non-Winged Pikmin and you should get at least three of them. Wait for them to come back and get them again. In Tropical Wilds Remix, let the Baldy Long legs kill some for you.
