Grubchucker[edit]

Icon for the Grubchucker, from Pikmin 4's Piklopedia.
Main article: Grubchucker.

Scientific name: Carabea vescora

The Grubchucker is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is a particularly tall enemy compared to most, with even Yellow Pikmin struggling to reach its height. It hunts Pikmin by seizing them with its claws and placing them into the fleshy mouth on top of its body, swallowing and killing them after a few seconds if not interrupted. It typically inhabits, and is encountered within, shallow waters and pools of mud.

Naming[edit]

"Crablipps" is a combination of "crab" and "lips", likely in reference to the large lips on the Grubchucker's mouth.

Members belong to the genus Carabea, which comes from the Latin word carabus meaning "crab" or "crayfish."
