The '''Calcified Crushblat''' ({{j|ホシオトシ|Hoshi Otoshi|Star Dropper}}) is an enemy that makes its debut in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It is a strange creature, apparently just a head with long, chicken-like legs. Its head is usually protected by a thick layer of silica which can only be broken off by [[Rock Pikmin]] and [[bomb rock]]s. It is a rare creature, appearing only once in one area in story mode, but appears quite often in [[Mission Mode]] and [[Bingo Battle]], along with [[Side Stories]] in {{P3d}}. It has the qualifications of a mini-[[boss]], but is not considered as one, as the mini-boss music does not play when fighting it. | The '''Calcified Crushblat''' ({{j|ホシオトシ|Hoshi Otoshi|Star Dropper}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] that makes its debut in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

Something that is {{w|Calcification|calcified}} has a collection of calcium salts in its body tissue, which is similar to what the Calcified Crushblat has with its protective layer of crystal.
