Calcified Crushblat

The Calcified Crushblat is an entirely new enemy that makes its debut in Pikmin 3. It is a strange creature, apparently just a head with long, chicken-like legs; the head is encased in a crystal shell that only Rock Pikmin can break. Once it is broken, the true head is revealed to be entirely frog-like, causing it to look even more bizarre. It is encountered only once in the game, in the Tropical Wilds; it has all the qualifications of a miniboss, yet the specialized miniboss music does not play upon fighting it. Its exact status is unclear.
