The '''Sporegrub''' ({{j|オッコ|Okko}}) is an enemy found in {{hp}}. According to [[Creature log|Olimar's notes]], it is a mutated variant of Sheargrub. It's smaller than other mandiblards, about one third the height of Olimar. It is mostly pink with light spots, but has green menacing eyes and a brown face. It climbs down from vines, and eventually falls on the ground, ready to attack Olimar or his [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It is quite a rare enemy, only appearing in two areas.

Because Sporegrubs move so slowly they are easy to hit; they only take a single hit on top to kill it.  However, if one misses and the Pikmin ends up behind it, it is best to whistle it because the Pikmin will remain in the Sporegrub’s attack range for long enough to be killed. When the creature is moving, it is best to slightly lead the shot.
Because Sporegrubs move slowly, they are easy to hit. Only a singe Pikmin thrown on top is needed to kill it.  However, if one misses and the Pikmin ends up behind it, it is best to whistle it to make it run faster. If it isn't, the Pikmin will remain in the Sporegrub’s attack range for long enough to be killed. When the creature is moving, it is best to slightly lead the shot.

{{naming
|common    = Sporegrub. From "Sheargrub", a word present in the names of various members of the mandiblard family, and "spore".
|scientific = ''Himeagea vineacorruo''.  ''Vineacorruo'' comes from the Latin words ''vinea'', meaning "vine", and ''corruo'', meaning "to fall".
|jpcommon  = {{j|オッコ|Okko}}. It comes from {{j|落っこちる|Okkochiru}}, which means "falling", and is likely a pun on the expression {{j|子|Ko}} found in the name of other mandiblards, which in this context means "tiny", particularly "tiny bug". Hence, the name can translate to "Tiny Faller".
|jpname    = {{j|オトシヒメアギト|Otoshi Hime Agito|Dropping Princess Jaw}}. From {{j|ヒメアギト科|Hime Agito Ka}}, the Mandiblard family's Japanese name.
