The Swarming Sheargrub is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It can drink nectar to grow and weigh down objects so Pikmin can't carry them. They can also push Pikmin and the Leaders. When you kill a big swarming sheargrub, it shrinks back to it's original size. They are encountered once in story mode in the Tropical Wilds in a group of 6-8. When one is attacked, all sheargrubs in the group scatter. They appear in Mission Mode twice; in Tropical Wilds Remix where a group of 6 are near where Alph starts, and one on the tree stump. 2 groups of 4 appear in Beastly Caverns. Like the Female Sheargrub, it has no mandibles, meaning the worst they can do is either waste your time (trying to kill them) or annoy you (by weighing down objects).
