The '''crawmad family''' consists of crustacean-like enemies who live in holes they bury using their sharp claws. There are currently two known species. Their main method of attack is to lunge at captains and their Pikmin, grabbing some, and scurrying back to their hole to eat them. The family name is a combination of {{w|Crayfish|crawdad}} and {{w|nomad}}, given their resemblance to the real-world crustaceans and the nomadic patterns of the {{w|hermit crab}}, which the Hermit Crawmad is also named after. | The '''crawmad family''' consists of crustacean-like enemies who live in holes they bury using their sharp claws.

"Crawmad" is a play on the word "{{w|Crayfish|crawdad}}". The Japanese names of members of this family refer to the word {{j|シャコ|shako}}, which means {{w|mantis shrimp}}; mantis shrimp being a real world creature that highly resembles the Hermit Crawmad. | |||
