Arctic Aristocrab

Template:Infobox Enemy The Arctic Aristocrab is a large species of crab-like creature in Pikmin Z. It resembles a light blue version of a Peckish Aristocrab, with fur on its large claw.

Biology

The Arctic Aristocrab adapted to life in the cold. During the boss fight, it will occasionally throw snowballs at the player, crushing Pikmin underneath it. If too close, it will try to slam Pikmin with its larger fur-covered claw.

Piklopedia Entry

The Arctic Aristocrab has evolved to live farther away from the ocean, and able to survive in bitter temperatures. I haven't had much time to study it.

Strategy

Once it arrives in the area, your first priority is to dislodge the fur on its claws. The rest of its body is covered in armor, and any Pikmin thrown onto it will bounce off. Throw your pikmin onto its large claw, and pluck off all the hair on it until its completely bare. Once this happens, it can no longer throw snowballs at you, and leaves an opening to attack it.
