Something that is {{w|Calcification|calcified}} has a collection of calcium salts in its body tissue, which is similar to what the Calcified Crushblat has with its protective layer of crystal. The name "Crushblat" is a combination of "crush", because of its [[Blunt force|main method of attack]], and "blat", which is not a word. Its Japanese name is {{j|ホシオトシ|Hoshi Otoshi}}, where {{j|ホシ|hoshi}} translates to "dried", referring to its calcified body, and {{j|オトシ|otoshi}} means "dropping", referring to how this enemy falls on top of Pikmin. | Something that is {{w|Calcification|calcified}} has a collection of calcium salts in its body tissue, which is similar to what the Calcified Crushblat has with its protective layer of crystal. The name "Crushblat" is a combination of "crush", because of its [[Blunt force|main method of attack]], and "blat", which is not a word, but can be an onomatopoeia similar to “splat”, used to show the sound of something being squished.

Internally, it is called <code>crystal_frog</code>. <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> is the name of an [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused enemy]], which is a [[Wollywog]] (<code>maro_frog</code>) with a rock. It is possible that both <code>crystal_frog</code> and <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> were planned to be the two main [[amphituber]]s but with some rock or crystal accessory. At some point in development, <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> was abandoned and <code>crystal_frog</code> was reworked into the Calcified Crushblat. Alternatively, the Crushblat's internal name was simply chosen because it jumps like a frog and has a layer of crystal. | Internally, it is called <code>crystal_frog</code>. <code>crystal_maro_frog</code> is the name of an [[Unused content in Pikmin 3|unused enemy]], which is a [[Wollywog]] (<code>maro_frog</code>) with a rock.
