The Peckish Aristocrab[1]is a crab-like enemy in Pikmin 3. Its overall appearance resembles a green and purple bulb of garlic with 4 legs coming from underneath, and two claws on each of its sides, one being extremely dwarfed, and a much larger one with transparent pincers. It has two round yellow spots on its cheeks, which look like eyes, while its real eyes rest on stalks that protrude out from the top of its head. It has a large mouth with a serrated lower jaw and long purple tongue. The creature mainly rests in a motionless position, but can detect Pikmin's presence from afar, and it will quickly scuttle sideways onto the player's path when they enter the area, circling them in order to get in their way.

When Pikmin are thrown at it, the creature is capable of maneuvering its massive claw to shield itself from the thrown Pikmin. It can also defend itself by blowing bubbles at the Pikmin, which can trap them inside the bubbles, making them float around for a long period of time until the bubble pops. This can also trap captains as well. It attacks by grasping multiple Pikmin with its claw and dropping them into its gaping mouth.

Rock Pikmin are capable of breaking the Peckish Aristocrab's larger claw, since it is very crystal-like in appearance; it is more durable than a nodule, but hitting the claw with Rock Pikmin causes small pieces to fly off.

This creature can also eat Bomb Rocks if victim Pikmin are carrying them. If the enemy eats the bomb rock, it will be killed instantly, causing its eyes and legs to shrivel away, and its claw to explode into crystaline shards, leaving only the body for salvaging.

It takes 8 Pikmin to carry.
