The Segmented Crawbster is a boss in Pikmin 2. It is the boss of the Cavern of Chaos' final sublevel (10), which is located in the Wistful Wild. This is the only place where it is found. This crab-like creature has one large arm, and an exceedingly smaller left arm. It also has a rather thick shell protecting it. This creature rolls up into a ball to attack other creatures as a defensive mechanism. If it crashes into a wall it can cause boulders to fall. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, and while doing so will expose its weak spot: its flashing underbelly. It will then get back up and swing its large arm around back and forth two or so times and continue its assault.
Killing methods
In order to defeat this creature, it must be lead into a wall while it is rolling. Its rolling is more focused on the active captain, not the Pikmin. There is a slight chance that eggs will drop along with the boulders; these may contain Mitites, sprays, or nectar, and they will usually continue to drop every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. After the boulders have fallen, the captain needs to be on either the left or right side of the creature and must throw his Pikmin onto its underside. After enough time has passed, it will get up and swing its bulking arm, which can't kill Pikmin, but deflowers them. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will drop the Silencer.
- Using ultra-spicy spray is advisable since it makes the Pikmin very fast, making it easier to avoid the rolling, especially for Purple Pikmin. The spray effect lasts for about two assaults.
- Ultra-bitter spray can also be used to delay the end of the Pikmin's attacking time.

Trivia
- The Segmented Crawbster cannot be brought to use his rolling attack in the Piklopedia, for it only chases after captains.
- The Segmented Crawbster is the second rarest creature in the Pikmin series so far, the first being the Smoky Progg. That is because only one of it is ever found, and it is the only known member of its family (Creep-crab family).
- When it crashes into a wall it may cause some glitches to occur.
- When it falls down on the tiled floor in the Sublevel where it is found, pieces of tile will fling from the impact, however even in the piklopedia where no tiles are found, it will still show tiles flinging from its fall. (They are part of its impact animation.)
- The "Parastacoidea" used as its genus is the same word as a real world superfamily that includes species of freshwater crayfish.
