Mama Sheargrub

The Mama Sheargrub is an enlarged version of the Female Sheargrub. While mostly retaining its smaller equivalent's passive behavior, it can still pose a threat to Pikmin that try to attack it with its sheer weight.

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.

Locations

 * Giant's Hearth
 * The Mud Pit
 * Sun-Speckled Terrace (Olimar's Shipwreck Tale)

Strategy
The Mama Sheargrub can be swiftly be taken care of if you use a Spray and charge against it with either Oatchi, Purple Pikmin, or Rock Pikmin. If the ground is soft, you can use Rock Pikmin to avoid your army getting flattened and only have your Rock Pikmin be temporarily grounded.
