'''Male Sheargrubs''' can easily be distinguished from [[Female Sheargrub]]s by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed to scavenge dead [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, and will attack [[Leader]]s and Pikmin when the opportunity presents itself. Sheargrubs have lost both their legs and wings in an odd twist of evolution, and have adapted to life spent mostly underground.
In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it. This was fixed in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', allowing players to kill them even if they have a Pikmin in their grasp. Sheargrubs, both male and female, will also deconstruct any nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]], which makes defeating these pesky creatures soon after landing a top priority to avoid having to rebuild them.
These creatures are also related to the [[Shearwig]].
==Ship Log==
Note that there is only one entry for both male and [[Female Sheargrub|female]].
''"Today I've learned something new about these creatures' behavioral patterns. They are very vexing bugs - they chew apart the bridges that the Pikmin build! All the effort the Pikmin went to... I must watch for these pests."''

==Strategy==
===Pikmin===
The species is relatively weak compared to most other creatures, but if one happens to get a hold of a Pikmin, it is invincible to swarming until the Pikmin dies. If a single Pikmin is thrown onto the Sheargrub's back, it will die instantly, and the Pikmin will be saved. Attack with [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] if possible, but be careful, as a bite deals massive damage. If there is water nearby, like in [[The Forest of Hope]], lead them into the water. Since they cannot fly, and will keep following Olimar, until they drown.
===Pikmin 2===
The male Sheargrub's mysterious invincibility is no longer present here, making them incredibly easy to kill. Simply swarm with a group of Pikmin and they'll have no chance. Same as in ''Pikmin'', if there is a body of water nearby, lead them in and drown them.
