They hide under the surface until the player (or a group of [[Pikmin]]) passes by, at which point they will emerge and attack. While they are not especially dangerous and have little health, they are infamous for tearing apart the [[bridge]]s that Pikmin construct. | ||

Sheargrubs are in fact fully matured | While they may look like small insect larvae, Sheargrubs are in fact fully matured specimens which are legless and wingless as an evolutionary adaption. They demonstrate a degree of sexual dimorphism not at all uncommon to insects; the [[Male Sheargrub|males]] of the species have a dark purple shell and strong chewing mouthparts. Pikmin are their favorite food, though they will attack captains as well. The [[Female Sheargrub|females]] are much lighter in color, and their mandibles are significantly smaller. They are not a threat to the Pikmin themselves or to the player, making them more of a distraction than a hazard, but can still demolish stick bridges with annoying efficiency. | ||
