The Swarming Sheargrub is a large sheargrub-like enemy from Pikmin 3. It in every way excluding size and color looks like a Female Sheargrub. They are known to follow Pikmin from a distance, and can distract your swarm as a result. They are faster than most Mandiblards. 

They move around in "swarms" at high speed. They have no form of offense but can move quickly, taking any attacking Pikmin with them. Should they come across any nectar, they will consume it and grow in size.

When they spot a salvagable object, such as a fruit, pellet, or carcass, they will jump and sit on top of it, weighing it down, requiring more Pikmin in order to carry the fruit. The larger they are, the more they will weigh.

While they are an annoying hinderance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of Mandiblard. However, once a single member of a swarm is killed, the rest will disperse and run away and incredibly fast speeds. It is 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.
