m (The debatable canon page makes no mention of the player's guide, it mentions the prima guide but the player's guide, no. I won't remove unofficially again, but i feel like the term unofficial is starting to become synonymous with "pikmin 4 didn't like it :(". At the very least add the players guide to the debatable canon page.) |

The snareshell family is a family of mollusks introduced in Pikmin, although the family went unclassified until Pikmin 4. It consists only of one member, the Pearly Clamclamp, which belongs to the `ostrum` genus.
Members
Pearly Clamclamp
- Main article: Pearly Clamclamp.
The Pearly Clamclamp is an enemy in Pikmin and Pikmin 4. This large bivalve has a pinkish shell, and inside, a small pearl or item surrounded by a clear blue membrane. Their inner weak point can be attacked by Pikmin.
Naming
The family name is a combination of "snare", meaning to lure to bait for capture, and shell. This perfectly describes the Pearly Clamclamp's behavior.
The genus ostrum seem to be based on the latin word for oyster, ostreum. Unofficially, the genus lapis was used for the family in the Pikmin Player's Guide, which is Latin for "stone".
