|
| '''Sheargrubs''' are small, grub-like enemies in both [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]] and [[Pikmin 2]]. They live underground, though surface when they feel vibrations from approaching prey.

| == Overview ==
| |
| Sheargrubs come in two different colors: pink and purple. Pink Sheargrubs are female, while purple Sheargrubs are male. Female Sheargrubs do not have any mandibles because of this they are incapable attacking [[Olimar]] or the [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. Male Sheargrubs, however, are exactly the opposite. They have mandibles and will jump onto their prey and tear them apart.
| |
| | |
| In Pikmin, when the male Sheargrubs have a Pikmin in their mouth, they are invulnerable to damage except when Captain Olimar throws a Pikmin on them. This has been 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 bridges built. This can be avoided by simply attacking the Sheargrubs eating.
| |
| | |
| It is also important to note that after you kill opposing Sheargrubs, in 2 or 3 days they will come back.
| |
| | |
| These creatures are also related to the [[Shearwig]].
| |
| | |
| == Olimar's Notes ==
| |
| ===Female===
| |
| The males of this species are purple and black creatures with tapered mouths,
| |
| while the females are lighter in color and lack an armored exoskeleton. As with
| |
| most Mandiblards, these creatures have regressed to the point where they have
| |
| lost both legs and wings. They can be seen crawling around on the ground and
| |
| are believed to feed on the vegetable extracts from the congealed fluids of
| |
| expired pikmin.
| |
| | |
| ===Male===
| |
| This specimen is a Male Sheargrub. Having lost both its legs and wings, the
| |
| male burrows into the soil and waits to ambush small creatures that pass by.
| |
| This beast's mandibles can be dangerous, making creatures such as pikmin easy
| |
| prey.
| |
| | |
| == Louie's Notes ==
| |
| ===Female===
| |
| For an unforgettable quiche, slice this creature up and mix with
| |
| four eggs, two vine-ripened tomatoes, dried zucchini, and generous handfuls of
| |
| feta and swiss. Bake until crusty and golden. This beast is most flavorable if
| |
| caught and cooked just after laying its eggs.
| |
| | |
| ===Male===
| |
| Spread several specimens in the bottom of a casserole dish and
| |
| layer with sliced avocado. Bake until the meat is choice and the cheese is
| |
| lusciously browned.
| |
| ==Killing strategies==
| |
| ===Pikmin 1===
| |
| Female Sheargrubs are cannon fodder and can be defeated with ease by either the Pikmin or Olimar. The males are also very easy, but if one happens to get a hold of a Pikmin, it is invincible to swarming until the Pikmin dies. If you can throw a Pikmin onto the Sheargrub's back it will die instantly and the Pikmin will be saved. Attack with Olimar if possible.
| |
| | |
| ===Pikmin 2===
| |
| The male Sheargrub's mysterious invincibility is no longer present here, making them incredibly easy to kill. Simply swarm with a group of Pikmin and they'll have no chance.
