Segmented Crawbster
- Main article: Segmented Crawbster.
The Segmented Crawbster is a boss in Pikmin 2, found exclusively on the tenth sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos. It attacks by curling into a ball and chasing after its prey in an attempt to crush them. If it hits a wall, it becomes temporarily incapacitated and exposes its only weak point: its soft underbelly. When agitated, it can use its massive claw arm to swipe away Pikmin. After the boss is defeated, it drops the Silencer.
Naming
The family name consists of the words "creep" and "crab". While "crab" refers to how the Segmented Crawbster is crab-like, the term "creep" here could either refer to its unsettling nature, or to the way it rolls being related to railway adhesion creep.
