The Bug-Eyed Crawmad is a miniboss whose appearance is similar to that of the Hermit Crawmad, but it possesses distinctly large eyes protruding out of its head through eyestalks. Instead of appearing from only one hole in the ground, it can switch between two different holes. It resembles stout lobster or shrimp-like crustaceans whose claws resemble those of squillas but are related to hermit crabs. | The Bug-Eyed Crawmad is a miniboss whose appearance is similar to that of the Hermit Crawmad, but it possesses distinctly large eyes protruding out of its head through eyestalks.

The Combustible Crawmad is an uncommon species of crawmad with fire-based elements. Like most crawmads, this creature will dash out from its nest to consume Pikmin. However, if at a distance, it will instead spew long-range flames that can engulf Pikmin. Fortunately, they can be easily avoided, but can be quite annoying. | The Combustible Crawmad is an uncommon species of crawmad with fire-based elements.

The Hermit Crawmad is the first known member of the crawmad family, and are known for their variance in sizes. These enemies live their lives in holes and pop out when prey approaches. With a quick lunge, they can catch their target, reel back, and feed on it in its burrow. The Hermit Crawmad is a semi-passive creature. It sits inside its hole and is usually found around watery areas, although it can survive on dry land as well. It will peek out of its hole when the Pikmin or leaders approach it and it will attack if one gets too near to its dwelling. It attacks by charging out of its hole and grabbing a Pikmin, then backpedaling to its nest, where the Pikmin is eaten. If it misses, it will turn around and return to its dwelling, slower than usual. It can climb walls if it is necessary for it to get back to its nest. While sitting on the nest and peeking out, if it can no longer see prey nearby, it'll retreat inside. | The Hermit Crawmad is the first known member of the crawmad family, and are known for their variance in sizes.
