When they spot a salvagable object—such as a [[fruit]], [[pellet]], or carcass—they will jump and sit on top of it, weighing it down, requiring more [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to carry the object. The larger they are, the more they will weigh.

While they are an annoying hindrance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of [[Mandiblard]]. However, once a single member of a swarm is killed, the rest will disperse and run away at incredibly fast speeds. It's advised to call all [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] back at this point, as they will attempt to chase the fleeing Sheargrubs, only to end up getting themselves lost.

''"As the name implies, these fast-moving enemies travel in relatively large groups. Swarming Sheargrubs patrol established paths, jostling any Pikmin they encounter along the way. These pests often latch onto fruit while it's being transported. This essentially increases the weight of the fruit, making it more difficult for your Pikmin to carry."''

While Swarming Sheargrubs are an annoying hindrance to the player, they are easily defeated like any other type of [[Mandiblard family|mandiblard]]. However, once a single member of a swarm is attacked, the rest will disperse and run away at incredibly fast speeds. It's advised to call all [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] back at this point, as they will attempt to chase the fleeing Sheargrubs, only to end up getting themselves lost, and may even run into other enemies.
To prevent a dragged-out battle &ndash; or rather, chase &ndash; with these creatures, a large group of flowered Pikmin can be used to defeat them without too much of a hassle. Alternately, you can can defeat a few of them with a few precise throws from [[Rock Pikmin]], if your timing is good enough.
