Weighs down objects
The '''Swarming Sheargrub''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It can drink [[nectar]] to grow and weigh down objects so [[Pikmin]] can't carry them. They can also push Pikmin and the Leaders. When you kill a big swarming sheargrub, it shrinks back to it's original size. They are encountered once in story mode in the [[Tropical Wilds]] in a group of 6-8. When one is attacked, all sheargrubs in the group scatter. They appear in [[Mission Mode]] twice; in [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] where a group of 6 are near where [[Alph]] starts, and one on the tree stump. 2 groups of 4 appear in [[Beastly Caverns]]. Like the [[Female Sheargrub]], it has no mandibles, meaning the worst they can do is either waste your time (trying to kill them) or annoy you (by weighing down objects).  
|size = 270px|battle = [[Jigsaw Fortress]]}}The''' Swarming Sheargrub''' is a green sheargrub-like enemy found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It, in every way excluding size and color, resembles a [[Female Sheargrub]]. They are known to follow [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] from a distance, and can distract an entire swarm as a result. 


They move around in "swarms" at high speed (fastest of any known Mandiblard). They have no form of offense but can move quickly, taking any attacking Pikmin with them. Once they come across any [[nectar]], they will consume it and grow in size. Most swarms come in groups of 7 Sheargrubs.


When they spot a salvagable object, such as a [[fruit]], pellet, or carcass, they will jump and sit on top of it eating them, weighing it down, requiring more Pikmin in order to carry the fruit. The larger they are, the more they will weigh.


While they are an annoying hindrance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of Mandiblard. However, once a single member of a swarm is killed, the rest will disperse and run away and incredibly fast speeds. It is advised to call all Pikmin back at this point, as they will attempt to chase the fleeing Sheargrubs, only to end up getting themselves lost.

==Trivia==
*The Swarming Sheargrub is the only member of the Mandiblard family without a known gender distinction.
*These are the only known enemies that can increase in size by consuming an item.
*Even if the Swarming Sheargrub sits on top of the fruit to eat them, they will never eat the whole fruit and will only weigh it down
*When a Swarming Sheargrubs gets on top of fruit or drink nectar, a munching sound can be heard.
