|attacks = Crushes Pikmin}}The '''Calcified Crushblat''' is a very unusual enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. It resembles a bulbous, frog-like creature that stands on tall, bird-like legs. It is capable of covering itself in a crystal-like shell for defence. [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[Bomb Rock]]s are needed to destroy its armour. It attacks by jumping on [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to crush them. The creature only appears once in Story mode, residing in the [[Tropical Wilds]]. The Calcified Crushblat sits motionlessly on the ground with its legs retracted, resembling nothing more than a crystaline rock on the ground. However, as the player approaches, it will begin to visibly breath heavily, get up, and walk around. It will not actively attack [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or players, but if they walk underneath it, it will not hesitate to jump on them and crush them. | |||

Once defeated, its entire crystaline casing will shatter and it will fall dead onto the ground. It is advised that only a small portion of the armour is removed, as it will be able to run faster as more armour is taken off of it. | ||
Before the | Before the armour is removed, it will do more damage to [[Leader]]s when it sits down and squash all non-[[Rock Pikmin]]. After the armour is removed, it does almost half the damage to players, but its body stretches outwards and knocks over [[Leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]; however, it is now completely incapable of crushing any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. | ||
