The '''Hermit Crawmad''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the only known member of the Crawmad family. They resemble stout lobster- or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of [[Wikipedia:Squilla mantis|squillas]], but are in fact related to [[Wikipedia:hermit crab|hermit crabs]]. It sits in its hole, and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach it and it will attack if one gets too near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then going back to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. The only way to kill it is to lure it out and attack its vulnerable tail before it can crawl back. This creature has the ability to climb up walls, and will do so if needed, in order to return to its nest. After being killed, its hole disappears. Larger versions of this enemy exist due to a [[Randomness|random]] size distribution, but they are not considered a separate species, nor do they give more [[poko]]s or Pikmin seeds. Hermit Crawmads get a serious HD makeover in Pikmin 3. This game also reveals a larger, related species of the Hermit Crawmad''', '''the [[Bugeyed Crawmad]]. Unlike in ''Pikmin 2, ''all Hermit Crawmads are the now same size.

To do: Try to understand if they spawn with random sizes (apparently, between the 1x and 2x range), and add that info. "Random size distribution" is a bit vague.
Care to do so?

The Hermit Crawmad is an enemy in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3, and the only known member of the Crawmad family. They resemble stout lobster- or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of squillas, but are in fact related to hermit crabs. Larger versions of this enemy exist due to a random size distribution, but they are not considered a separate species, nor do they give more pokos or Pikmin seeds. Hermit Crawmads get a serious HD makeover in Pikmin 3. This game also reveals a larger, related species of the Hermit Crawmad, the Bug-Eyed Crawmad. Unlike in Pikmin 2, all Hermit Crawmads are the now same size. 

Notes

Olimar's notes

“Looking at the eyes and sickle-shaped legs characteristic of squillas, one would think this is a squilla relative. In fact, it is a relative of the hermit crab. This species, however, has migrated from seaside life in a shell and instead inhabits burrows in the ground. While its legs appear sickle-like, they are pincers that have evolved into a fin shape. This beast feeds on small creatures that pass by its lair, dragging them inside to eat them.”

Louie's notes

“Shuck from the shell, bake on high heat until crispy, then dip in a pot of melted milk chocolate. Lip-smacking sweet!”

Nintendo Player's Guide

"Because of the shell on its top half, the Hermit Crawmad is invincible when it's looking out at the battlefield from its hole. The only way to defeat one of the creatures is to draw it from its hole, avoid its attack, then swarm it as it retreats."

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide

"The Hermit Crawmad is a burrowing amphibious creature. When you approach the enemy's hiding spot, it pops out of the ground and lunges towards your squad. If the enemy manages to snatch any of your Pikmin, it drags its prey back underground.

After you coax a Hermit Crawmad out of its hole, flank the creature to keep your Pikmin out of harm's way, then send your squad charging in to attack the Hermit Crawmad's fleshy body. Since these enemies tend to lurk in the water, it's best to use only Blue Pikmin during these encounters."

Behavior

File:Hermit Crawmad.png

The Hermit Crawmad is a semi-passive creature. It sits in its hole, and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the Pikmin pr Captains approach it and it will attack if one gets too near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then going back to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. If it misses, it will turn back around and return to its dwelling. It can climb walls if it is necessary for it to get back to its nest. If the Pikmin get close but move out of range later on, it will go back inside its dwelling. In Pikmin 2, its nest will disappear if it is killed, but its nest remains in Pikmin 3.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Pikmin

Lure it out of its hole by moving some Pikmin near its hole, then run away. It'll come out and try to get a Pikmin. When it starts to turn around, swarm its backside. Another strategy would be to move the current captain to lure the Hermit Crawmad away from its hole, then swarming it. The player can also use Purple Pikmin to stun the Hermit Crawmad on its way back to its hole. The Dodge Whistle is especially useful for this, as the player can dodge the Crawmad's attack efficiently and quickly. The Swarm command in Pikmin 3 is also very useful for a swift victory.

Captains

Go near the hole and wait a second, then run. It'll come out. Proceed to punch its backside. This will have to be done multiple times to finish it off.

Glitches

  • Very rarely, if you petrify a Hermit Crawmad and kill it in the water in its dwelling, it will produce a strange butterfly shaped "wave" effect that will last for the remainder of the time a player is there (only observed on Sublevel 6 of the Hole of Heroes).

  • The "Camabarus" used as its genus is similar sounding to the genus "Cambarus" used in the real world as a genus for a diverse group of crayfish.
