Despite the Armored Mawdad's threatening size and appearance, its attacks are simple and easy to counter. The creature will charge and then snap its mandibles shut, trapping any Pikmin in front of it. It will consume its victims at a slow rate and can be stopped from eating any at all if enough Rock Pikmin are thrown at its shell, causing it to flinch. Moreover, its attacks can be made much easier to avoid if the Mawdad's crystal mandibles are destroyed by Rock Pikmin. | Despite the Armored Mawdad's threatening size and appearance, its attacks are simple and easy to counter.

This beast is the first challenge in [[Defeat Bosses!]] The player is given 8 minutes to defeat the Armored Mawdad, and starts off with 30 [[Rock Pikmin]] on their party. Some Pikmin are spread throughout the arena idling, and in total, there are 50 Rock Pikmin and 50 Red Pikmin. The entrance/exit to the Armored Mawdad's den is blocked off by a "keep out" sign. Although it is impossible to obtain the [[Dodge Whistle]] by the time the boss is fought in story mode, the player is given the ability to [[dodge]] in this challenge. | |||
The following table lists what medal the player gets according to the time they take: | |||

In [[speedrun]]s, this strategy is particularly useful, and it's even faster if the player waits for the boss to stand still on the wall for a few seconds. Sometimes, the Mawdad will run around the arena a bit before stopping, and sometimes it will stop immedieatly. It's best to just wait for it to stop, as this will maximize the time the Pikmin stay stuck on the tail. This can be used to defeat the boss in under thirty seconds. | In [[speedrun]]s, this strategy is particularly useful, and it's even faster if the player waits for the boss to stand still on the wall for a few seconds.
