The Calcified Crushblat is a strange creature that's head is usually protected by a thick layer of silica which can only be broken off by Rock Pikmin and bomb rocks. A passive creature, it sleeps with its legs folded underneath its body, appearing to be nothing more than a crystalline rock from a distance, and wakes from its slumber when approached by leaders and Pikmin, which it then proceeds to attack by jumping onto and sitting on to crush. If its shell is broken off completely, it will only be able to knock back or bury them.

In Pikmin 3.9, the Calcified Crushblat is a miniboss that behaves exactly as it does in Pikmin 3. The Calcified Crushblat appears in the Ravaged Rustyard without its shell, able to deliver increased knockback. Its arena has a poison gas cloud in front of its entrance, meaning only White Pikmin can enter it. On top of that, the arena is surrounded by a moat of water that the Crushblat will try to knock the Pikmin into.

The Calcified Crushblat is a returning Pikmin 3 creature in Pikmin Eco. While it itself doesn't appear until after the main story's completion, its relative, the Shrubby Crushblat, does make a notable appearance. Its behavior is slightly tweaked in that its health is higher and it moves slightly slower. The biggest difference is its calcified shell: rather than breaking off in pieces, the entire shell breaks completely after a combined total of sixty hits.

Attacks Crushes Pikmin
To be honest, I kinda thought that was a giant egg. – The ship, upon discovering the Calcified Crushblat

The Calcified Crushblat is a species of crushblat in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. Their true form is a large, rotund body with a pinkish hue and purple dots. Along with this, they have two eyes with yellow sclerae and red pupils, numerous white whiskers, and a yellow underbelly. The Crushblat has two very tall and spindly striped legs it walks around using, despite its shorter appearance when it’s resting on the ground. The Crushblat is covered in a thick, crystal shell, which it uses for protection.

The Calcified Crushblat idly sits on the ground. When approached, it will suddenly stand up, and begin to wander around in a circle. Occasionally, it will stop, before bobbing up and down for a few seconds. It will then jump into the air and slam down onto the group of Pikmin, crushing any that are caught underneath. This attack is devastating, but when the crystal shell is broken, the attack will only bury Pikmin and revert them to the leaf stage, similar to a scarpanid attack. The Crushblat’s armor can be destroyed in chunks, and after six chunks are broken off, the armor will be destroyed instantly.

The Calcified Crushblat can be dangerous if not taken on properly. The best way to defeat it is by using Rock Pikmin and Weighted Pikmin, as they are both immune to blunt force and can destroy crystals. Dart Pikmin can also destroy the shell, but it’s less efficient. After the shell is destroyed, any type can be used to defeat the crushblat.

In Overlord mode, the Calcified Crushblat has much tougher armor, and when it’s destroyed, the bottom part of the shell will remain. This means that their jump attack will still be deadly, even after their armor is destroyed.

Notes

  • P3 Data file icon.png Data file #1: The Calcified Crushblat can crush Pikmin with its hard shell.
  • P3 Data file icon.png Data file #2 (Overlord mode): The bottom of their crystal armor remains, meaning their jump attack is still dangerous!

Olimar's notes

The Calcified Crushblat has a tough shell that it uses for self-defense and attacks in self-defense. It’s entirely an herbivore, as it absorbs nutrients through its skin and feeds off of aquatic plants. Due to its less fulfilling diet, it’s a lot less mobile and energetic, and the creature prefers to spend its day sitting around. The silica shell of this creature can molt, and is used by Skutterchucks and Boulderchucks as ammunition.

Louie's notes

Slices of this creature’s meat have a much more chewy and grizzly texture. Cut more thin slices when harvesting to ensure a better eating experience. Grill these slices and add a honey barbecue glazing to them. Add seasonings along with it, and top it off with a side of vegetable or bread roll. The meat of a Crushblat is quite flavorful this way.

President’s notes

I should make my own shell to prevent these dolt beasts from harming me! Maybe I’ll tape some Rock Pikmin around me as a start. Doesn’t sound too bad!

Overlord’s thoughts

They sit around all day and do nothing. Maybe I should give them some mouths or something. But hey, every creature gets their food one way or another, even if it’s just filtering nutrients from the water through your skin all day, even when you’re sleeping.
