The '''Mama Sheargrub''' ({{j|マザーウジンコ|Mazā Ujin Ko|Mother Tiny Maggot}}) is an large [[enemy]] found in ''Pikmin 4''. It resembles an enlarged [[Female Sheargrub]], but is much deadlier due to its [[crush]]ing attacks. Despite its size, it still retains its burrowing capabilities.

== Behavior ==
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.

{{guide}}
The Mama Sheargrub seems unassuming, but can decimate large parts of your squad if not dealt with carefully. It is advised to avoid [[Charge|charging]] this foe with crush-weak Pikmin as there is a chance it could pre-emptively jump and crush those sent towards it. Instead, it is best to throw Pikmin (Preferably  high-damaging Pikmin such as Red Pikmin) repeatedly, whistling back Pikmin thrown off to avoid them being crushed. Purple Pikmin are effective against this foe too, but beware, the fact they stop in mid-air to perform their slam attack means it is not always likely they will latch on. Since the ground it spawns from is always soft, you can use Rock Pikmin to avoid your army getting flattened and only have your Rock Pikmin be temporarily grounded, the Rock Pikmin are extra effective at charging the enemy, 25 Rock Pikmin are enough to defeat this enemy immediately with no casualties. Winged Pikmin are highly unlikely to be crushed by this foe as well, since they always try to be airborne, so using them is comparatively as safe, especially when fought in mud and mold like in [[The Mud Pit]].

== Notes ==
=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|Since it's exceptionally large, when it squirms to move or wriggles minutely side to side to dig its whole body into the ground like a drill, you can observe it in all its exceptional detail! The way it moves is quite enchanting to watch. If only we could super-duper-size all creatures like this!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes ===
{{transcript|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.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes ===
{{transcript|Best enjoyed when big and round—and full of eggs. Salt lightly, then grill. The squishy, sticky mouthfeel will have you coming back for more.|block=y}}

ヒラバヒメアギトのメスが幼形成熟したもので、幼体の姿のまま体が大きくなっている。サナギにはならず産卵後も生き続けるが、卵からは通常サイズのウジンコが生まれる。

特徴 その1 通常個体との違い
:通常個体は寿命が単年だが、数年かけて10倍以上に成長する。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
This Sheargrub female is neotenic, meaning that its body has grown in size while retaining the appearance of a juvenile. It does not become a pupa, instead continuing to live after laying eggs, but the Sheargrubs that emerge from the eggs are of normal size.

Feature #1: Differences from ordinary specimens
:The lifespan of a normal individual is a single year, but it takes several years to grow to more than 10 times the size of a normal individual.
:(Image text: "Instead of becoming a pupa, it nurtures its eggs inside its body and gives birth to nearly 100 offspring at a time")

Feature #2: Squashing
:Even after growing large, its jaws are still soft, so it hunts by taking advantage of its huge body.
:(Image text: "It feeds on its prey after squashing it")
