Shearwig
Himeagea volaris
Shearwigs are enemies in both Pikmin games. They are male resembling orange winged, green Sheargrubs. They are slightly more aggresive than the Male Sheargrub, and when you take their health to the yellow zone, they take off and fly. You then need to throw Pikmin to kill them, and they also they regain health while flying. The Shearwig also ruins bridges, just like the larvae.
Their name is a pun on earwig.
Shearwigs are not seen as often as the Sheargrubs,but can be found away from water as both -grubs and -wigs are damaged by water, a place on land to find them is near the landing site of the Perplexing Pool.
Olimar's Notes
Unusual for their genus, flying mandiblards have retained their wings. However, only the adult males of this species can fly. Females of this species spend most of their life span underground. They do emerge for a period after maturation to spawn, but they never metamorphose.
Louie's Notes
Grate this beast into a zest and whisk with sugar, cream, and chopped dark chocolate for a lusciously indulgent mousse that's a true culinary coup de grace!
How to Kill
Pikmin 1
Swarm it until it flies upwards, then throw a Pikmin at it for the kill. It doesn't fly very high so yellows are not necessary. Take warning that the Shearwig shares the male Sheargrub's invincibility trick while grasping a Pikmin, so throw a Pikmin on its back for a quick kill if this happens.
Pikmin 2
Simply swarm them and shoot them down if they get airborne. Like the male Sheargrub, it loses its invincibility while biting down on a Pikmin.
