The onionshell family is a family of crab-like enemies introduced in Pikmin 3, although the family went unclassified until Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Members belong to the Brachyurices genus.
Members
Peckish Aristocrab
- Main article: Peckish Aristocrab.
The Peckish Aristocrab is an enemy found in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. It uses its large pincer to block incoming Pikmin throws, as well as to snatch Pikmin up to eat. Since the pincer is made of crystal, it can be broken by Rock Pikmin. Once disarmed, the creature resorts to evading Pikmin attacks and blowing bubbles to keep them away.
Aristocrab Offspring
- Main article: Aristocrab Offspring.
A juvenile Peckish Aristocrab, the Aristocrab Offspring is not able to block Pikmin throws with its pincer but can still blow bubbles to keep Pikmin away. It may occasionally hide under the sand, leaving only its eyes visible.
