The Mama Sheargrub (マザーウジンコ?, lit.: "Mother Tiny Maggot") is an enlarged version of the Female Sheargrub. While mostly retaining its smaller equivalent's passive behavior, it can still pose a threat to Pikmin that try to attack it with its sheer weight.

Behavior
The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4. |
If a player, Oatchi, or a Pikmin comes nearby the summoning area, it will dig out of the ground and roam around for a bit, generally behaving like a Female Sheargrub. Should any of those three get too close or attack, it will flail and try and flatten anything that is beneath it. Once any threat has been neutralized it will return back into the earth.

The Mama Sheargrub can be swiftly be taken care of if you use a Spray and charge against it with either Oatchi, Purple Pikmin, or Rock Pikmin. If the ground is soft, you can use Rock Pikmin to avoid your army getting flattened and only have your Rock Pikmin be temporarily grounded.

Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
“The Mama Sheargrub will typically molt when it reaches maturity, then dig itself into the ground to prepare for egg laying. However, certain types, like this specimen, exhibit neoteny and retain the appearance of a juvenile of the species.
If this species locates an abundant food source, they won't leave it. Sometimes they will stay at that spot for years, steadily growing to gigantic proportions, like this one.
Though this specimen has the look of a juvenile, it has fully developed reproductive abilities and can achieve impressively high birth rates. Its offspring, however, are the same size as a typical Sheargrub.”Louie's Notes
