Shearwig

Reel Notes
The males of this species are able to fly, but the females remain underground.

Olimar's Notes
Unusual for their genus, flying mandiblards have retained their wings. However, only the adult males of this species can fly. Females of this species spend most of their life span underground. They do emerge for a period after maturation to spawn, but they never metamorphose.

Louie's Notes
Grate this beast into a zest and whisk with sugar, cream, and chopped dark chocolate for a lusciously indulgent mousse that's a true culinary coup de grace!

Pikmin TCG
Shearwigs appear in the Pikmin 1 Card Set. Their ability is the ability to heal rather than attack during a turn.

Tikes notes I question on how these creatures manage to hold themselves afloat when they fly. Oddly enough, it has to do with with their stomachs. When it flies, it lowers it body fat. It turn that fat into energy, which help it fly faster and it loses about a third of its weight. That's why when they fly, they are a lot more hungry. They make sure to feed after their flight, or else, it can become dangerous.

Alices notes They are really bold in nature. They actually are also quite loyal. When we meet their queen, the did everything to protect her. They actually remind me a lot of the pikmin. They also less aggressive then Jackwigs. You know what, I actually like them. If only they didn't eat our loyal companions...

Captain pikmin notes Flying is what they do best, and to stop that best, you must bring him down to the ground. To do that, a strong shot at the body should do the trick.

In Pikmin Forever
In Pikmin Forever, Shearwigs are more graphically and behaviorally updated, being able to react to the enviroment. It will give off a dim greenish glow in dark areas. If you are able to strike it out of the air, the pikmin will hold on to the shearwig untill it lands, and they do not drop pellets. If it is attacked on the ground, it can either burrow and be forced out by a purple pikmins impact, or it can fly into the air and be hit by a pikmin. Winged Pikmin will automatically attack this beast if it is in the air and the winged pikmin collides with the shearwig. This enemy will choose to periodically migrate to different places on the map via flying, covering large distances. They can migrate to a total of 5 places on any given map, besides small challenge mode levels, and each time it is chosen randomely. Shearwigs cannot burrow on hard materials, seeking out softer ones like sand to burrow in.
