The '''Hermit Crawmad''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the only known member of the Crawmad family. They resemble stout lobster- or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of [[Wikipedia:Squilla mantis|squillas]], but are in fact related to [[Wikipedia:hermit crab|hermit crabs]]. It sits in its hole, and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach it and it will attack if one gets too near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then going back to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. The only way to kill it is to lure it out and attack its vulnerable tail before it can crawl back. This creature has the ability to climb up walls, and will do so if needed, in order to return to its nest. After being killed, its hole disappears. Larger versions of this enemy exist due to a [[Randomness|random]] size distribution, but they are not considered a separate species, nor do they give more [[poko]]s or Pikmin seeds. | The '''Hermit Crawmad''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the only known member of the Crawmad family.

Hermit Crawmads get a serious HD makeover in Pikmin 3. This game also reveals a larger, related species of the Hermit Crawmad''', '''the [[Bugeyed Crawmad]]. Unlike in ''Pikmin 2, ''all Hermit Crawmads are the now same size. | ||

''"Because of the shell on its top half, the Hermit Crawmad is invincible when it's looking out at the battlefield from its hole. The only way to defeat one of the creatures is to draw it from its hole, avoid its attack, then swarm it as it retreats."'' | |||
===''Pikmin 3 ''Prima Guide=== | |||
''"The Hermit Crawmad is a burrowing amphibious creature. When you approach the enemy's hiding spot, it pops out of the ground and lunges towards your squad. If the enemy manages to snatch any of your Pikmin, it drags its prey back underground.'' | |||
''After you coax a Hermit Crawmad out of its hole, flank the creature to keep your Pikmin out of harm's way, then send your squad charging in to attack the Hermit Crawmad's fleshy body. Since these enemies tend to lurk in the water, it's best to use only Blue Pikmin during these encounters."'' | |||

Go near the hole and wait a second, then run. It'll come out. Proceed to [[punch]] its backside. This will have to be done multiple times to finish it off. | Go near the hole and wait a second, then run. It'll come out. Proceed to [[punch]] its backside.

*Very rarely, if you petrify a Hermit Crawmad and kill it in the water in its dwelling, it will produce a strange butterfly shaped "wave" effect that will last for the remainder of the time a player is there (only observed on Sublevel 6 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]). | |||
