The Armored Mawdad is a boss creature from Pikmin 3. It was shown at Nintendo's E3. Players must toss Rock Pikmin at its crystaline carapace in order to reveal its weak skin. It has some resemblance to the Segmented Crawbster as both creatures have a tough hide. It resembles the realworld silverfish with many legs, similar to a centipede.
Strategy
Upon entering the boss arena, the Armored Mawdad appears and frantically crawls around the stage. When it gets a clear view of a group of Pikmin or the current leader, it will charge and scoop up PIkmin with it's massive mandibles. During this time, it will atttempt to begin eating any Pikmin it has caught with it's enormous mouth. During such time, players must throw Rock Pikmin at the crystaline carapace to break it away. This will free any Pikmin caught in its mandibles and afterwhich any other Pikmin may attack it freely. Once it gets damaged, it will begin to crawl on the walls of the arena. As more of it's carapace gets broken away, the Mawdad's speed will continue to increase. Players must take caution, as Pikmin may become distracted by the mushrooms in the stage.
If the player can land a successful hit on its mandibles, they will break, rendering it harder for the Mawdad to capture and eat Pikmin.[1]
