Appearance in Pikmin 3. | |||
Scientific name | Himeagea mandibulosa | ||
Family | Mandiblard |
Male Sheargrubs can easily be distinguished from Female Sheargrubs by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed to scavenge dead Pikmin, Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, attacking leaders and Pikmin when the opportunity presents itself. Sheargrubs have lost both their legs and wings in an odd twist of evolution, and have adapted to a life spent mostly underground. Sheargrubs, both male and female, will also deconstruct any nearby stick bridges, which makes defeating these pesky creatures soon after landing a top priority to avoid having to rebuild them. These creatures are also related to the Shearwig, in that they share families.
Like some other mandiblards, Male Sheargrubs can regenerate health while buried and are able to fully regenerate in seconds, just like the Female Sheargrubs. If little of their health remains, they return to their original spot to bury to heal, and when their health grows high enough, they come out again if there are any prey nearby.
In fanon games
Below this point is where users place their version of the Male Sheargrub.

Male Sheargrubs appear in Pikmin 251 and are slightly faster than they were in Pikmin 2. They also can see prey from farther away and travel farther distances to pursue them.
Notes
Olimar's observations
- “Since our last journey here, these enemies have gotten faster and even more aggressive. While they are small and only attack one Pikmin at a time, it would be best to take out these creatures soon before they pick off our numbers. They also like to attack us captains directly and do heavy damage to our suits, which is never good.”
Cookin' with Louie
- “The innards of this bug work well in a good soup. Combine this beast with the Female Sheargrub recipe for the perfect soup and salad dinner combo!”

Male Sheargrubs appear in Pikmin 4: The World to Free.
Notes
Tike's notes
- “These stubborn pests do nothing worse than eat up my Pikmin's bridges. I must seek out them on my radar quickly or else that bridge is supper tonight. These creatures' counterparts of the females also eat up bridges. It makes me wonder: why do the males hunt down Pikmin if they eat the bridges? Maybe the males have bigger appetites?”
Alice's notes
- “Very cute but stubborn. They also don't know how to treat their women. Seriously you don't share your food, You eat Pikmin while they can't, and you sit there allowing our Pikmin to kill them while you just target your nearest prey. Talk about a bad husband. However, after 500 years of neglect they caused, don't we all think they would fight back? Thinking about it, it is just their culture I guess.”
Captain Pikmin's notes
- “Defeating them is easy but tracking them isn't. Make sure you've got your Sheargrub finding equipment on to prevent them from tearing apart our bridges.”

In Pikmin Eco, the Male Sheargrub is the male equivalent to the Female Sheargrub, and unlike their female counterparts is harmful towards Pikmin. However, it is the weakest enemy in the game, as all it does is bite one Pikmin at a time. Aside from that, it behaves exactly like the female species.
In Pikmin Forever

In Pikmin Forever, Male Sheargrubs have better graphics and interact differently in different environments. A Male Sheargrubs eyes will give off a small glow in dark areas. A Male Sheargrubs pincers will also vary from each specimen, with one being blunter and another having more of a sawtoothed edge. Male Sheargrubs can be lured far from their spawn point, and if a captain/Pikmin goes out of its range, it will burrow into the ground and that will become its new spawn point. If it is lured and left on hard material such as rock, it will seek out a softer material such as dirt and burrow into it. Male Sheargrubs fight much as they did in the first 2 games, but they will react differently with the surrounding vegetation. Leaving them on an underground area with glow stems present will make them either burrow into the ground or they will gather around the glow stems for a while before burrowing. They will generally target mushroom Pikmin and captains more often than other Pikmin. When their health is low, they will burrow underground and start regenerating health, but if you throw a purple Pikmin on the spot they will pop out and be dazed for a bit.
In Pikmin TCG
This article or section presents information pertaining to Pikmin TCG, a fanon game created by Yoshord. |
The Male Sheargrub appears once so far in the Pikmin TCG, in the Pikmin 1 card set. It cannot be attacked unless it attacks. This makes it weaker Burrowing Snagret.
In Pikmin: Dimensional Breach

Scientific name | Unknown | ||

Attacks | Eats Pikmin, destroys stick bridges |
In Pikmin: Dimensional Breach, Male Sheargrubs are unchanged from their appearances in past games. Louie can recruit them with his King of Bugs upgrade, using them to build stick bridges and climbing sticks. Thus, they function similarly to their female counterparts, although with offensive capabilities.
Notes
Sagittarius' notes
- “The male and female sheargrubs should be housed in the same glass cages, in a manner similar to ant farms. The males are vitally important, for they will feed the females their share of the food.”
Libra's notes
- “The rich, royal purple of this specimen's exoskeleton is a color not easily recreated on Hocotate. The exoskeleton itself is soft and flexible enough to work with, yet it is durable enough to retain its shape and even resist damage to some degree. A perfect material for high-quality underwear!”
Charlie's notes
- “While the females are harmless until they begin impeding the progress of important missions, attacking a male sheargrub can easily be classified as self-defense. Outside of that, any appreciable attack will work to defeat these pests.”
Derrick's notes
- “Unlike their female counterparts, male sheargrubs are not even close to cooperative in experiments. Given the chance, they will chew through any restraint or barrier I set up for them, and they'll even attack me if I get too close. However, their sharp, pointed mandibles make an excellent material for knives or sewing needles.”

Male Sheargrubs are one of the most common enemies heard in every area. They appear in every cave except for Maze of the shadow.
Notes
Olimar’s notes
- “This creature, being one of the most seen creatures on PNF-404, the first being the Female Sheargrub these things are known to burrow under the ground and rise up when it’s time to attack. They use their mandibles to grab their prey and keep them there until they devour it whole. They devour because there’s no sign of teeth on them, so they have to resort to devouring prey whole.”
Louie’s notes
- “Everyone knows the smashing of the meal Sheargrub a Casserole. This delicious delight is a smash hit on Hocotate. The creaminess of the sliced avocado, the flavorful flavor of the male Sheargrub and the meats, and the crunchy taste of the cheese.”
