The Armored Mawdad is a boss creature from [[Pikmin 3]], shown at Nintendo's E3. It resembles a centipede, with a multitude of small legs, a large head, large yellow eyes, a gaping mouth, and large curved mandibles. Most of it's body is covered in segments of translucent shell protecting itself. Players must toss [[Rock Pikmin]] at its crystaline carapace in order to reveal its weak skin. It has some resemblance to the [[Segmented Crawbster]] as both creatures have a tough hide. It resembles the realworld silverfish with many legs, similar to a centipede. | The Armored Mawdad is a boss creature from [[Pikmin 3]], shown at Nintendo's E3.

Upon entering the boss arena, the Armored Mawdad appears and frantically crawls around the stage. When it gets a clear view of a group of Pikmin or the current leader, it will charge and scoop up Pikmin with its massive mandibles. During this time, it will atttempt to begin eating any Pikmin it has caught with its enormous mouth. During such time, players must throw [[Rock Pikmin]] at the crystaline carapace to break it away. This will free any Pikmin caught in its mandibles and afterwhich any other Pikmin may attack it freely. Once it gets damaged, it will begin to crawl on the walls of the arena, making it more difficult to predict which direction it will attack from next. Once the Mawdad has been scanned with the Z button on the Nunchuk, its location will be marked by a green dot on the Wii U gamepad's screen, allowing players to tell where it will strike next if it scraws above the camera's view. As more of its carapace gets broken away, the Mawdad's speed will continue to increase. Players must take caution, as Pikmin may become distracted by the mushrooms in the stage. | Upon entering the boss arena, the Armored Mawdad appears and frantically crawls around the stage.

If the player can land a successful hit on its mandibles, they will break, rendering it harder for the Mawdad to capture and eat Pikmin.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6_xo5DQf-4 E3 2012 Show Floor Footage]</ref> Also, if a Pikmin latches onto one of its eyes, the Mawdad will become agitated and aimlessly careen through the arena until the Pikmin is thrown off.

==Glitches== | |||
If you look in the video for this creature, you will see pikmin(when they are close to it) fly straight up into the air(they fly high enough to where you can no longer see them), this does no damage to the pikmin however, suggesting it might be a glitch. | |||
