This is one of two enemies in the series (the other being the [[Swarming Sheargrub]]) that can change size. Each Hermit Crawmad's size is [[Randomness|randomly]] determined every time they are generated on a map. They only have different sizes in ''Pikmin 2'', and their size does not change the amount of [[Poko]]s they are worth, how much health they have, or the number of Pikmin seeds they produce. Their nests also vary in size to accommodate the creatures.

{{transcript|Because of the shell on its top half, the Hermit Crawmad is invincible when it's looking out at the battlefield from its hole. The only way to defeat one of the creatures is to draw it from its hole, avoid its attack, then swarm it as it retreats.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===

{{transcript|The Hermit Crawmad is a burrowing amphibious creature. When you approach the enemy's hiding spot, it pops out of the ground and lunges towards your squad. If the enemy manages to snatch any of your Pikmin, it drags its prey back underground.

==Behavior==

The Hermit Crawmad is a semi-passive creature. It sits inside its hole, and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s approach it and it will attack if one gets too near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then backpedaling to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. If it misses, it will turn back around and return to its dwelling, slower than usual. It can climb walls if it is necessary for it to get back to its nest. While sitting on the nest and peeking out, if it can no longer see prey nearby, it'll retreat back inside. In ''Pikmin 2'', its nest will disintegrate if it is killed, but will always remain in the sequel.

|common    = Hermit Crawmad. The "Hermit" part of the enemy's name refers to the real world {{w|hermit crab}}, given how both creatures have a vulnerable abdomen that they wish to keep hidden most of the time.

|jpcommon  = {{j|シャコモドキ|Shako Modoki}}. It loosely translates to "Pseudo Mantis Shrimp" or "Fake Mantis Shrimp".

|scientific = ''Camabarus rustica''. ''Rustica'' is related to the Latin ''rusticus'', which means rural.

|internal  = Internally, this enemy is called <code>jigumo</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the Japanese name of the {{w|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}}).

==Trivia==

*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. Olimar’s notes in ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'' were updated slightly to reflect this change, making the Hermit Crawmad one of the only returning creatures from ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' to have a changed entry.

*Due to a [[Glitches in Pikmin 2|glitch]], the Hermit Crawmad may possibly [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)#Enemies that can die|die in the Piklopedia]].
