Pikmin: Treacherous Treasures/Piklopedia/Male Sheargrub

The Male Sheargrub appears in Pikmin: Treacherous Treasure as a weaker foe. It is a purple maggot-like enemy with an armored head and large mandibles. It will slowly crawl towards the Captains and the Pikmin, and try to eat the Pikmin or bite the Captain. It appears from the ground when approached or when plucked from Flukeweeds. If any wooden bridges are nearby, it will start to deconstruct it.

Strategy
A direct throw onto it's back will kill it instantly. Alternatively, it could be lead into water, as Mandiblards' health deplete in water. It can only put one Pikmin in it's mouth at a time, and it chews it slowly, so there is plenty of time to kill the creature and safe it.
