Crammed Wraith


The Crammed Wraith is a hermit crab-like enemy found in. When it notices Pikmin approaching, it will push them away.

Naming
The family name is a combination of the words "shell" and "shelter", as its single member has a shell that is presumably used as a form of shelter.

Tumidoculum is possibly derived from the Latin words tumido, meaning "swollen", and oculum, meaning "eye".
