In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it. This was fixed in [[Pikmin 2]], allowing players to kill them even if they have a Pikmin in their mandibles. Sheargrubs, both male and female, will also deconstruct any nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]], which makes defeating these pesky creatures soon after you land a top priority if you want to avoid having to rebuild them. | In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], these bugs are completely invulnerable while they're chomping down on a Pikmin ''except'' when a Pikmin is tossed directly on top of it.

==Physiology== | |||
The purple Male Sheargrub is one of the smallest creatures in the Pikmin universe. However, their mandibles, which they are named after, are the largest in the game proportional to their body. They are very agressive, attacking whenever Pikmin appear. The females of the species are fair and non-agressive. It appears that the males hunt the Pikmin, while the females eat the fruits of their labor, and birth their young, similar to many known animals. Both male and female have adapted very well to burrowing. It is speculated by [[Captain Olimar]] that the Sheargrubs devolved from [[Shearwig|Shearwigs]]. | |||
