The Hermit Crawmad is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It resembles a lobster-type creature with large claws. It sits in its hole, and is usually found around watery areas even though it can survive on land. It will peek out of its hole when the Pikmin approach it, but it will attack if the Pikmin get near its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then going back to its nest, where the Pikmin will get eaten. The only way to kill it is to lure it out and attack it before it goes back. It has surprisingly low defense for its appearance. After being killed, its hole dissappears. Larger versions of this enemy exist due to its size distribution being random, but are not considered a seperate species, neither do they give more Pokos or Pikmin.
