Crusted Rumpup

Main article: Crusted Rumpup.

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.
