The Peckish Aristocrab is an enemy found in ''Pikmin 3''. It uses its large pincer to block incoming Pikmin throws, as well as to snatch Pikmin up to eat. Since the pincer is made of [[crystal]], it can be broken by [[Rock Pikmin]]. Once disarmed, the creature resorts to evading Pikmin attacks and blowing bubbles to keep them away. | The Peckish Aristocrab is an enemy found in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.
