This article or section requires information involving Pikmin 4. This includes, but is not limited to, new infobox data, new images, and new information in general.



Female Sheargrubs (ウジンコ♀) are enemies found in all four Pikmin games. Unlike the members of the opposing gender, they are scavengers and do not attack the Captain or Pikmin, and can easily be defeated by either being swarmed around or throwing a Pikmin on its back. Their behavior, along with their light pink color and relatively small jaws, is the most distinctive difference between males and females of the species. As with Male Sheargrubs, however, they eat bridges only in Pikmin that were built on a previous day. They return in Pikmin 3 with their Male counterpart, and are the first enemies seen in the Tropical Wilds as Alph. In all games, they provide only one seed, and thus are usually not worth bringing back to the Onion.

Notes[]

Ship's Log[]

Note that there is only one entry for both male and female.

"Today I've learned something new about these creatures' behavioral patterns. They are very vexing bugs-they chew apart the bridges that the Pikmin built! All the effort the Pikmin went to... I must watch for these pests."

Reel notes[]

"Males of this species are purple and have an armored head."

Olimar's Notes[]

"The males of this species are purple and black creatures with tapered mouths, while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton. As with most mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of expired Pikmin."

Louie's Notes[]

"For an unforgettable quiche, slice this creature up and mix with four eggs, two vine-ripened tomatoes, diced zucchini, and generous handfuls of feta and swiss. Bake until crusty and golden. This beast is most flavorful if caught and cooked just after laying its eggs."

Alph's Notes[]

"Structural flaw: back

Weight: 1

It takes no time at all for them to emerge from their hiding places underground. They don't do much once they've surfaced, but you have to give them credit for being very efficient borers."

Brittany's Notes[]

"Have you ever had a friend who startled you every time they approached? Who always seemed to come out of nowhere and scare you? That's what these remind me of. They don't mean any harm, but I jump 10 feet whenever they show up."

Charlie's Notes[]

"The ability to hide underground and burst up to the surface whenever someone comes near, then retreat to recover again, just isn't fair. They'd be fearsome ambushers if they ever...you know...attacked."

Nintendo Player's Guide[]

"Pale pink Sheargrubs pop out of the ground and distract your Pikmin, but they don't cause your troops any harm. They do, however, like to roll up constructed bridges. If you have the time, you can swarm and defeat the creatures with little effort and take them back to the Onions for two sprouts a pop."

Pikmin 3 Prima Guide[]

"Like Male Sheargrubs, Female Sheargrubs spend most of their time under-ground. Unlike their male counterparts, however, Female Sheargrubs aren't equipped with pincers. When you uncover a group of Female Sheargrubs, throw one Pikmin onto each enemy."
