==Naming== | |||
The "Hermit" part of the enemy's name refers to the real world [[wikipedia:Hermit crab|hermit crab]], given how both creatures have a vulnerable abdomen that they wish to keep hidden most of the time. "Crawmad" is a combination of "[[wikipedia:Crayfish|crawfish]]" and possibly "[[wikipedia:Nomad|nomad]]". Its Japanese name is {{j|シャコモドキ|Shako Modoki}}, which loosely translates to "Pseudo Mantis Shrimp" or "Fake Mantis Shrimp", with the [[wikipedia:Mantis shrimp|mantis shrimp]] being a real world creature that highly resembles the ''Pikmin'' enemy. | |||
Its scientific name is ''camabarus rustica''. ''Camabarus'' is a play on the real world genus for crawfish – ''cambarus'' – and ''rustica'' is related to the Latin ''rusticus'', which means rural. Internally, this enemy is called <code>jigumo</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the Japanese name of the [[wikipedia:atypus karschi|atypus karschi]], a type of spider. In ''Pikmin 3'', the internal name was changed to simply <code>shako</code>, which is part of the Japanese name ({{j|シャコ|Shako}}). | |||

*The nests of Hermit Crawmads are the only enemy-related object not to appear in the game's [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|early configuration files]], making it likely that they were originally going to appear without the nest. | *The nests of Hermit Crawmads are the only enemy-related object not to appear in the game's [[Unused content in Pikmin 2|early configuration files]], making it likely that they were originally going to appear without the nest. | ||
*While the Piklopedia entry states that the Hermit Crawmad's pincers evolved into a fin shape, in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they were changed to actual pincers, possibly to match the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s design. | *While the Piklopedia entry states that the Hermit Crawmad's pincers evolved into a fin shape, in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' they were changed to actual pincers, possibly to match the [[Bug-Eyed Crawmad]]'s design. | ||
