The crushblat family is a family of frog-like creatures introduced in Pikmin 3, although the family went unclassified until Hey! Pikmin. Members attack Pikmin using their hard, crystal-like shells. Members belong to the cephalus and durotesta genus.
Members[edit]
Calcified Crushblat[edit]
- Main article: Calcified Crushblat.
Scientific name: Durotesta longuscrus
The Calcified Crushblat is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It is a strange creature, apparently just a head with long, chicken-like legs. Its head is usually protected by a thick layer of silica which can only be broken off by Rock Pikmin and bomb rocks. It is a rare creature, appearing only once in story mode, but appears quite more often in Mission Mode and Bingo Battle. It has the qualifications of a mini-boss, but is not considered as one, as the mini-boss music does not play when fighting it.
Crystalline Crushblat[edit]
- Main article: Crystalline Crushblat.
Scientific name: Cephalus caliciacta
The Crystaline Crusblat is an enemy in Hey! Pikmin. It is a cave-dwelling relative to the Calcified Crushblat. It is significantly smaller and weaker, but can be found quite commonly. Instead of having a brown face underneath its shell, it has a green one.
Naming[edit]
"Crushblat" is the name that all members of the family have, along with a word before it. "Crush" refers to the way members of the family crush Pikmin. The word "blat" may be a play on "splat", in reference to how remembers flatten themselves when crushing without their shells.
The genus cephalus may possibly refer to one of many Greek figures sharing the same name. The genus durotesta' has the prefix "duro-", similar to the term "durable" meaning hard to damage, and the suffix "-testa", which is Latin for "head". So the genus could mean "durable head", an accurate description of how Crushblat members have hard shells surrounding their heads.
