Mandiblard family: Difference between revisions

{{main|Male Sheargrub}}

Male Sheargrubs have a dark purple shell and large mandibles. They are capable of attacking leaders and the [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], but are not a serious threat, as they can only eat one Pikmin at a time. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', when a Male Sheargrub has a Pikmin in its mouth, it is invulnerable to most attacks and can only be defeated either after it has eaten its prey, or if another Pikmin is [[throw]]n directly onto its back. This was fixed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', allowing players to kill them by any method even if they have a Pikmin in their jaws.

Swarming Sheargrubs are a green species of the mandiblard family, quite similar to the Female Sheargrub. They are found only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', usually in groups of six to eight. They can drink [[nectar]] to increase in size and weigh objects down. When attacked, the entire group goes into a panic and scatters. Swarming Sheargrubs can't attack the player or Pikmin, making it the second member of this family to be completely harmless. It is unknown if they can eat [[Bridge|stick bridges]] since the bridges in ''Pikmin 3'' are made of clay [[Fragments]]. Their mandibles are shorter and stubbier than a [[Female Sheargrub]]'s, but only by a little bit. Although they have many similarities to the Female Sheargrubs, they do not have a known gender.
