You completely turned this article on its head without any regard for the structure of the page. I've expanded on the general description if it makes you feel better

+'''Male Sheargrubs''' can easily be distinguished from [[Female Sheargrub]]s by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed largely scavenge dead [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, and will attack [[captain]]s and Pikmin when the opportunity presents itself. Sheargrubs have lost both their legs and wings in an odd twist of evolution, and have adapted to life spent mostly underground.
-In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it. This was fixed in [[Pikmin 2]], allowing players to kill them even if they have a Pikmin in their mandibles. Sheargrubs, both male and female, will also deconstruct any nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]], which makes defeating these pesky creatures soon after you land a top priority if you want to avoid having to rebuild them.

 These creatures are also related to the [[Shearwig]].
-==Physiology==
-The purple Male Sheargrub is one of the smallest creatures in the Pikmin universe. However, their mandibles, which they are named after, are the largest in the game proportional to their body. They are very agressive, attacking whenever Pikmin appear. The [[Female Sheargrub|females]] of the species are fairer and non-agressive. IBoth male and female have adapted very well to burrowing. It is speculated by [[Captain Olimar]] that the Sheargrubs devolved from [[Shearwig|Shearwigs]].
 ==Strategies==
 ===Pikmin 1===
-The species is relatively weak compared to most other creatures, but if one happens to get a hold of a Pikmin, it is invincible to swarming until the Pikmin dies. If you can throw a Pikmin onto the Sheargrub's back, it will die instantly, and the Pikmin will be saved. Attack with Olimar if possible. If there is water nearby, like in [[the Forest of Hope]], lead them into the water. Since they cannot fly, and will keep following you, they will drown.
