The Armored Mawdad attacking some Pikmin.
The Armored Mawdad is a boss in Pikmin 3.[1] It looks like an enormous Millipede, with pincers at the front and light blue armor scales protecting its soft underside; these can only be broken using Rock Pikmin. It attacks by trapping Pikmin with its pincers then eating them, and ramming into the player and their Pikmin army, knocking them over and deflowering them. The boss crawls about, trying to dodge the player's attacks, and is able to climb up the sides of walls as a means of fleeing.
Strategy
Only Rock Pikmin can defeat this creature. They must be thrown at its armor to knock it off the Mawdad, then the player can use any Pikmin to attack the boss.
