The '''mandiblard family''' ({{j|ヒメアギト科|Hime Agito Ka|Small Jaw family}}) consists of seven known species, two of which demonstrate a degree of {{w|sexual dimorphism}} not uncommon to insects. On a whole they have little vitality and are not especially dangerous, but like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], they are infamous for tearing apart nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]] which [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] have built. In the main games, due to their general inability to present any danger, these enemies are usually found in groups of three or more, and are nearly always buried in the ground, appearing only when a leader or Pikmin approaches close by. In {{hp}}, most of them are found constantly outside of the ground. This game also introduces four members of the family, making about half the members exclusive to ''Hey! Pikmin''. In the first two games, members of the mandiblard family will gradually lose health while in water. | The '''mandiblard family''' ({{j|ヒメアギト科|Hime Agito Ka|Small Jaw family}}) consists of seven known species, two of which demonstrate a degree of {{w|sexual dimorphism}} not uncommon to insects.

Sheargrubs, [[Shearwig]]s, and [[Sporegrub]]s in this family are in the ''Himeagea'' genus, [[Shearblug]]s are in the ''Rotundus'' genus, [[Speargrub]]s are in the ''Dentefaber'' genus, and [[Queen Shearwig]]s are in the ''Turbulens'' genus, revealing they are completely different from normal Shearwigs. All enemies that are known not to have ''Himeagea'' as a genus name, instead have it as a species name. This is likely a mistake, since arguably every enemy in the family is supposed to be under ''Himeagea'', and these enemies' | Sheargrubs, [[Shearwig]]s, and [[Sporegrub]]s in this family are in the ''Himeagea'' genus, [[Shearblug]]s are in the ''Rotundus'' genus, [[Speargrub]]s are in the ''Dentefaber'' genus, and [[Queen Shearwig]]s are in the ''Turbulens'' genus, revealing they are completely different from normal Shearwigs.

This is likely a mistake, since arguably every enemy in the family is supposed to be under ''Himeagea'', and these enemies' genus names should actually be their species. This has not been confirmed, however. The genus ''Himeagea'' also belong to both members of the [[wracknid family]], which is likely a [[mistake]]. | ||

The family's name comes from the word "mandible". The names of the members derive from the word "{{w|Sheep shearing|shear}}", given that the sound they make when chomping down bridges sounds strikingly similar to a real world pair of shears closing. The Sheargrubs' names also derive from the word "{{w|grub}}", since they're like real life worms. Their Japanese names use the term {{j|ウジンコ|ujinko}}, in which {{j|ウジ|uji}} means "maggot", and {{j|インコ|inko}} is an elongated form of {{j|コ|ko}}, being used here as "tiny creature". The genus name of this family's members is ''Himeagea'', whose meaning is unknown. However in the Japanese games their ''[[Pikipedia:Japanese#Japanese names and common names|Japanese name]]'' and family name is {{j|ヒメアギト|Hime Agito}} which is where ''Himeagea'' probably derived from. | The family's name comes from the word "mandible".

However, as the term shear is used to replace the word tiny even outside the mandiblard family, specifically the Shearflea, shear may be some kind of play on "meer".

In ''Pikmin'', all mandiblards share the same internal name, <code>Kabekui</code>. {{j|かべ|kabe}} means "wall" and {{j|くい|kui}} meaning "eat". The fact that they are called "[[Gate|wall]] eater" instead of "[[bridge]] eater" seems to indicate that, [[Pikmin prerelease information|during development]], these creatures served a different purpose. | In ''Pikmin'', all mandiblards share the same internal name, <code>Kabekui</code>. {{j|かべ|kabe}} means "wall" and {{j|くい|kui}} meaning "eat".
