The '''Peckish Aristocrab''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It takes the form of a large blue crab with two claws, one of which is much larger than the other. It can expel bubbles that can trap Pikmin and their [[Leader|leaders]], making them float away until said bubbles are popped. Its large claw can be shattered by [[Rock Pikmin]], making it easier to defeat. Alternatively, you can use a [[bomb rock]] to destroy it.
== Locations ==
In the story, the Peckish Aristocrab is first encountered in the [[Tropical Wilds]] in a puddle of water guarding the [[Slapstick Cresent]]. Later, in the [[Garden of Hope]], as you build a bridge to get to the [[Quaggled Mireclops]] there is another one hiding in a can that has a secret file in it. Defeating this one gets you a [[Scaly Custard]].


In [[mission mode]], there are 2 in [[Shaded Garden]], 1 in [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] and 1 in [[Forgotten Cove]]. Defeating one gets you 100 points.

The''' Peckish Aristocrab'''<ref>[http://youtu.be/4_E7PZr6q44?t=9m30s The Peckish Aristocrab is mentioned in this video]</ref>is a crab-like enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. Its overall appearance resembles a green and purple bulb of garlic with 4 legs coming from underneath, and two claws on each of its sides, one of them being extremely small, while the other is much larger with transparent pincers. It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes, while its real eyes rest on stalks that protrude out from the top of its head. It has a large mouth with a serrated lower jaw and long purple tongue. The creature mainly rests in a motionless position, clacking its large pincers, but can detect Pikmin's presence from afar, and it will quickly scuttle sideways onto the player's path when they enter the area, circling them in order to get in their way. 


When Pikmin are thrown at it, the creature is capable of maneuvering its massive claw to shield itself from the thrown Pikmin. It can also defend itself by blowing bubbles at the Pikmin, which can trap them inside the bubbles, making them float around for a long period of time until the bubble pops. This can trap [[captains]] as well. It attacks by grasping multiple Pikmin with its claw and dropping them into its gaping mouth. It can also stab the ground with its claw to attack.

The Peckish Aristocrab[1]is a crab-like enemy in Pikmin 3. Its overall appearance resembles a green and purple bulb of garlic with 4 legs coming from underneath, and two claws on each of its sides, one of them being extremely small, while the other is much larger with transparent pincers. It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes, while its real eyes rest on stalks that protrude out from the top of its head. It has a large mouth with a serrated lower jaw and long purple tongue. The creature mainly rests in a motionless position, clacking its large pincers, but can detect Pikmin's presence from afar, and it will quickly scuttle sideways onto the player's path when they enter the area, circling them in order to get in their way. 

When Pikmin are thrown at it, the creature is capable of maneuvering its massive claw to shield itself from the thrown Pikmin. It can also defend itself by blowing bubbles at the Pikmin, which can trap them inside the bubbles, making them float around for a long period of time until the bubble pops. This can trap captains as well. It attacks by grasping multiple Pikmin with its claw and dropping them into its gaping mouth. It can also stab the ground with its claw to attack.

Battle Strategy

Rock Pikmin are capable of breaking the Peckish Aristocrab's larger claw, since it is very crystal-like in appearance; it is more durable than a nodule, but hitting the claw with Rock Pikmin causes small pieces to fly off. Eventually, the claw will break, rendering the Aristocrab unable to snatch Pikmin, it's only means of defense being blowing bubbles and shaking off attacking Pikmin. Should the Aristrocrab grab onto any Pikmin, throwing Rock Pikmin at its claw should be enough to release its grip on them.

An alternate strategy is to have the Aristocrab eat a Bomb Rock. To pull this off, simply have the creature snatch a Pikmin carrying the Bomb Rock. The Pikmin will break free, and the Aristocrab will eat the Bomb Rock. When it does, it will be killed instantly, causing its eyes and legs to shrivel away and its claw to explode into crystaline shards, leaving only the body for salvaging.

There's also a trick to break its claw and deplete a third of it's health. If there is a Yellow Wollywog/Wollyhop in the area, lure it into jumping on the Aristocrab. It will immediately break its claw and lose half its health.

Another strategy is to quickly get behind it and bombard it with Rock Pikmin, which can kill it in only a few seconds.
