The Calcified Crushblat is a very unusual enemy in Pikmin 3. It resembles a bulbous, frog-like creature that stands on tall, bird-like legs. It is capable of covering itself in a crystal-like shell for defence. Rock Pikmin or Bomb Rocks are needed to destroy its armour. It attacks by jumping on Pikmin to crush them. The creature only appears once in Story mode, residing in the Tropical Wilds. The Calcified Crushblat sits motionlessly on the ground with its legs retracted, resembling nothing more than a crystaline rock on the ground. However, as the player approaches, it will begin to visibly breath heavily, get up, and walk around. It will not actively attack Pikmin or players, but if they walk underneath it, it will not hesitate to jump on them and crush them.
Battle Strategy
As the calcified layer of this creature is very hard, one must use either Rock Pikmin or Bomb Rocks. Because Rock Pikmin tend to only break away small portions, it is recommended to use Bomb Rocks whenever possible, as they will blow away a portion of the armour and expose the creature within to attack.
Once exposed, simply throw Pikmin on its exposed, tender flesh. Once defeated, its entire crystaline casing will shatter and it will fall dead onto the ground. It is advised that only a small portion of the armour is removed, as it will be able to run faster as more armour is taken off of it.
Before the armour is removed, it will do more damage to Leaders when it sits down and squash all non-Rock Pikmin. After the armour is removed, it does almost half the damage to players, but its body stretches outwards and knocks over Leaders and Pikmin; however, it is now completely incapable of crushing any Pikmin.
Another possible strategy is to simply swarm its feet until it dies; however this is dangerous as it can easily crush the Pikmin.

Trivia
- In reality, calcification usually takes around 3–4 years to take place.
- Although the Calcified Crushblat can respawn, the calcified layer never respawns, suggesting that calcification takes a long time on PNF-404 also.
- The Crushblat's appearance when its armour is taken off somewhat resembles the Large-Mouth Wollywog from Pikmin Adventure.
- Interestingly, the Crushblat's head still expands and retracts after its death.
- It is possibly in the, or in the same order, as members of the Amphituber family, due to its amphibian appearance and method of attack.
