The '''Grubchucker''' ({{j|ナゲクライ|Nage Kurai|Throwing Devourer}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p4}}. It is a particularly tall enemy compared to most, with even [[Yellow Pikmin]] struggling to reach its height. It hunts Pikmin by seizing them with its claws and placing them into the fleshy mouth on top of its body, swallowing and killing them after a few seconds if not interrupted. It typically inhabits, and is encountered within, shallow [[water]]s and pools of [[mud]]. | The '''Grubchucker''' ({{j|ナゲクライ|Nage Kurai|Throwing Devourer}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p4}}.

The Grubchucker does not demonstrate any agression towards lone captains, but will attack Pikmin within reach. The Grubchucker attacks with a double swipe, grabbing at most a single Pikmin per claw and two Pikmin per attacking cycle. Any seized Pikmin are thrown into the mouth on top of its head, and the Grubchucker needs to be knocked down in order to free the trapped Pikmin. | The Grubchucker does not demonstrate any agression towards lone captains, but will attack Pikmin within reach.

The Grubchucker is a large, tall and lanky bipedal arthropod. Its legs have a knock-kneed posture and bend backwards compared to a traditional biped, and its feet have three toes (two in the front and one in the back). It has a soft, round body and a fleshy mouth running front to back on top of it. It has small compound eyes on the bottom of its body and four antennae. | The Grubchucker is a large, tall and lanky bipedal arthropod.

Its arms resemble those of {{w|Macrobrachium|freshwater prawn}}, and its forearms are sparsely covered in beige {{w|Seta setae}}. Although its limbs have a rigid exoskeleton, its thorax does not, and appears fleshy and soft like a {{w|Soft-shell crab|freshly-molted crab}}. | ||
The Grubchucker's body is mostly deep blue. The bottom of its thorax and the undersides of its limbs are beige. Its claws and toes are proximally blue and distally pink. The lips of its mouth are a light blue and the interior is a deep red. | The Grubchucker's body is mostly deep blue. The bottom of its thorax and the undersides of its limbs are beige.

Grubchuckers have and use typical crustacean mouthparts earlier in their life cycle, and the pseudo-mouth stays closed until adulthood. Adult Grubchuckers no longer use the mouthparts below their body and feed entirely with the large mouth-basket. | ||
