Female Sheargrubs are a much lighter color than the [[Male Sheargrub|males]] and have significantly smaller mandibles, making them unable to cause direct harm to a leader or any [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], though they are still a menace to [[bridge]]s. They can be ignored in most situations, perhaps only useful as a means of easy-access [[nectar]], which they will produce if killed while [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. | Female Sheargrubs are a much lighter color than the [[Male Sheargrub|males]] and have significantly smaller mandibles, making them unable to cause direct harm to a leader or any [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], though they are still a menace to [[bridge]]s.

Male Sheargrubs have a dark purple shell and large mandibles. They are capable of attacking leaders and the [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]], but are not a serious threat, as they can only eat one Pikmin at a time. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', when a Male Sheargrub has a Pikmin in its mouth, it is invulnerable to most attacks and can only be defeated either after it has eaten its prey, or if another Pikmin is [[throw]]n directly onto its back. This was fixed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', allowing players to kill them by any method even if they have a Pikmin in their jaws. | Male Sheargrubs have a dark purple shell and large mandibles.

The Queen Shearwig is a large mandiblard, and leader of a swarm of Shearwigs in a [[boss]] battle. It rarely attacks directly, instead choosing to send its army of Shearwigs to attack Captain Olimar and the [[Winged Pikmin]] with him. The Shearwigs also serve as protection to their queen, which can only be reached once the Shearwigs in the way are cleared. | The Queen Shearwig is a large mandiblard, and leader of a swarm of Shearwigs in a [[boss]] battle.

The Shearblug is an amphibious enemy encountered in ''Hey! Pikmin''. It resembles a Female Sheargrub with a longer, more grub-like body and spots on its sides. It attacks by curling into a ball, forcing spikes to emerge from its back, then rolling toward Olimar. It can be defeated by throwing a single Pikmin onto it when its spikes are retracted. | The Shearblug is an amphibious enemy encountered in ''Hey! Pikmin''.

Shearwigs are enemies in all ''Pikmin'' games. The females of this species are never seen, as they spend nearly their entire life underground. The males have a dark green shell, sporting simple wings and large, sickle-shaped mouthparts. They are slightly more aggressive than [[Male Sheargrub]]s and will fly to safety when their [[health]] reaches half; up in the air, they regain health. One well-aimed [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] will bring a flying Shearwig down for good. Both Sheargrubs and Shearwigs will drown quickly in water, so luring them into a pool is an alternative strategy. Shearwigs deal the most damage to leaders out of any enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. | Shearwigs are enemies in all ''Pikmin'' games.
