The Aristocrab Offspring (カニンコ^?, lit.: "Crab Offspring") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. As the name implies, they are a smaller and younger version of the Peckish Aristocrab. They share many of the same traits, like sidestepping, blowing bubbles, and using their enlarged claw to attack. One unique trait to the hatchlings is that they can sometimes hide underground to surprise their enemies.

Behavior[edit]

The Aristocrab Offspring acts similarly to his adult counterpart, but is overall much weaker. If a Pikmin comes near it, it will either try to catch it with his claw or shoot bubbles from its mouth to trap it. After a Pikmin is attached to it for roughly 5 seconds, it will shake them off; however, unlike the Peckish Aristocrab, they're not able to stand up when being charged at.

A behavior unique to the Aristocrab Offspring is being able to hide themselves underground; if a Pikmin comes close to an hiding Aristocrab, it will come out and start behaving like normal.

Appearance[edit]

Their appearance is nearly identical to the adult Peckish Aristocrabs, only smaller.

Locations[edit]

Strategy[edit]

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

With its low health and overall relatively low threat level, these offsprings are quite easy to deal with. You can simply use Oatchi to charge at it with a squad of Pikmin and that should finish it off pretty quickly. Unlike the Peckish Aristocrab, the offsprings cannot avoid a charge by simply standing tall and then coming back down, so charging them is quite effective at destroying them.

Notes[edit]

Dalmo's notes[edit]

“It pokes its little eyes just a bit out of the sand and stays very still, waiting patiently for us to come by. Even if we know they're hiding there, it's best to act surprised and give them a good shout of alarm. That's the best way to help them feel successful in their endeavors.”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“A juvenile Peckish Aristocrab. Small in size, its right pincer is only half grown. Because of this, it often hunts by hiding underground and lying in wait to ambush its prey.

Generally, crabs pass through the larval stages zoea and megalopa as they approach juvenile crabhood. Instead, the Peckish Aristocrab is born with a body shaped like an onion, absorbing its nutrition through the ground and sprouting legs as it grows. Perhaps it's a close relative of species in the Ambuloradicis class.”

Louie's notes[edit]

“Throw a mountain of Aristocrab Offspring into a pot for a yummy and simple miso soup broth.”

特徴その1 地中に隠れる

地中に隠れて、獲物を待つ。

特徴その2 カニタマの成長

幼生時はタマネギ状の体で砂地に埋まり、地中から栄養を吸収して成長する。

Translation

“A juvenile Peckish Aristocrab. Its shell is softer than that of an adult, and it often hides underground to avoid being attacked by birds and other enemies, and to ambush its prey.

Feature #1: Hiding underground

It hides underground and waits for its prey.

(Image text: "It jumps out with great vigor to eat its prey")

Feature #2: A Peckish Aristocrab's growth

As a larva, its onion-shaped body is buried in the sand and it grows by absorbing its nutrition through the ground.

(Image text:

"When it sprouts legs and becomes a juvenile, it becomes able to hunt using bubbles"
"It uses its large pincer to catch prey trapped in bubbles")”
