It is the boss of the [[Cavern of Chaos|Cavern of Chaos's]] final sublevel (10), which is located in the [[Wistful Wild]]. This is the only place where it is found. This crab-like creature has one large arm with blades on it and a vestigial left arm. It also has a rather thick shell protecting it. This creature rolls after the active captain, occasionally crushing Pikmin with its hard shell. It may crash into a wall and cause boulders to fall. It will then struggle to get back up in an upright position, and while doing so, will expose its weak spot: its flashing underbelly. It will then get back up and swing its large arm around back and forth two or so times and continue its assault. This enemy is animated differently than most other creatures in Pikmin 2. | ||

In order to defeat this creature, it must be led into a wall while it is rolling. Its rolling is more focused on the active captain, not the Pikmin. There is a slight chance that eggs will drop along with the boulders; these may contain [[Mitite]]s, [[spray]]s, or [[nectar]], and they will usually continue to drop every time the Segmented Crawbster crashes into the walls. After the boulders have fallen, the captain needs to be on either the left or right side of the creature and must throw his Pikmin onto its underside. After enough time has passed, it will get up and swing its bulking arm, which can't kill Pikmin, but deflowers them. Once defeated, the Segmented Crawbster will drop the [[Silencer]]. In terms of which pikmin are the most effective for defeating the Crawbster, it is advisable to use a group of around 20-30 White Pikmin, as the battle will involve a lot more running away and dodging the attacks rather than directly attacking, and white pikmin are the fastest variety, so they can dodge the Crawbsters rolling attack more easily. Alternatively using purple pikmin works if you wish to end the battle quickly, but as they are the slowest pikmin, they are the most vulnerable to the Crawbster's attacks, especially so since purple leaf pikmin are too slow to outrun it when its rolling, and it is more difficult to throw them onto the Crawbster's weak spot than it is to throw other pikmin varieties. | In order to defeat this creature, it must be led into a wall while it is rolling.

*Using [[Ultra-spicy Spray]] is advisable since it makes the Pikmin very fast, making it easier to avoid the rolling, especially for [[Purple Pikmin]]. The spray effect lasts for about two assaults. | *Using [[Ultra-spicy Spray]] is advisable since it makes the Pikmin very fast, making it easier to avoid the rolling, especially for [[Purple Pikmin]].
