Members
Crusted Rumpup
- Main article: Crusted Rumpup.
Scientific name: Derrierus capillium
The Crusted Rumpup is a scorpion-like boss first found guarding the third landing site in the Serene Shores in Pikmin 4. They have a red carapace and a greyish-black underside. Unlike scorpions, they do not have eight legs and also do not use their tail as a defense mechanism, it is actually their weak point. Rather their only attack is to charge towards prey and catch them in its mouth.
Naming
The family’s name is a portmanteau of “armor”, referring to their armored bodies, and “arachnid”, referring to the only member’s scorpion-like appearance.
