Crushblat
The '''crushblat family''' is a family of frog-like creatures introduced in {{p3}}, although the family went unclassified until {{hp}}. Members attack [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] using their hard, crystal-like shells. Members belong to the ''cephalus'' and ''durotesta'' genus.

Scientific name: ''Durotesta longuscrus''
 
The Calcified Crushblat is an enemy in ''Pikmin 3''. It is a strange creature, apparently just a head with long, chicken-like legs. Its head is usually protected by a thick layer of silica which can only be broken off by Rock Pikmin and bomb rocks. It is a rare creature, appearing only once in story mode, but appears quite more often in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle. It has the qualifications of a mini-boss, but is not considered as one, as the mini-boss music does not play when fighting it.

===Crystalline Crushblat===

Scientific name: ''Cephalus caliciacta''
 
The Crystaline Crusblat is an enemy in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It is a cave-dwelling relative to the Calcified Crushblat. It is significantly smaller and weaker, but can be found quite commonly. Instead of having a brown face underneath its shell, it has a green one.

==Naming==
"Crushblat" is the name that all members of the family have, along with a word before it. "Crush" refers to the way members of the family [[crush]] Pikmin. The word "blat" may be a play on "splat", in reference to how remembers flatten themselves when crushing without their shells.
 
The genus ''cephalus'' may possibly refer to {{w|Cephalus|one of many Greek figures}} sharing the same name. The genus ''durotesta''' has the prefix "duro-",  similar to the term "durable" meaning hard to damage, and the suffix "-testa", which is Latin for "head". So the genus could mean "durable head", an accurate description of how Crushblat members have hard shells surrounding their heads.
