'''Male Sheargrubs''' can easily be distinguished from [[Female Sheargrub]]s by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed largely scavenge dead [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, and will attack [[captain]]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. | '''Male Sheargrubs''' can easily be distinguished from [[Female Sheargrub]]s by their dark purple color and large mandibles.

In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it.

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.
