The '''mandiblard family''' consists of several known species, some of which demonstrate a degree of {{w|sexual dimorphism}} not uncommon to insects. On a whole, they have little vitality and are not especially dangerous, but like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], they are infamous for tearing apart nearby [[Bridge|stick bridges]] which [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] have built. In the main games, due to their general inability to present any danger, these enemies are usually found in groups of three or more and are nearly always buried in the ground, appearing only when a [[leader]] or Pikmin approaches close by. Some mandiblards, such as the [[Shearblug]] or [[Speargrub]], may constantly be outside of the ground. Most members of the mandiblard family will gradually lose health while in water.

Shearwigs are troublesome mandiblards to deal with. The females of this species are never seen, as they spend nearly their entire life underground. The males have a dark green shell, sporting simple wings and large, sickle-shaped mouthparts. They are slightly more aggressive than [[Male Sheargrub]]s and will fly to safety when their health reaches half; up in the air, they regain health. One well-aimed [[Pikmin Family|Pikmin]] will bring a flying Shearwig down for good.

{{main|Speargrub}}
Speargrubs are a type of mandiblard that are green in color, with a small, teal mouth and spikes lining their back. They emerge from holes in various surfaces and slowly crawl down until they duck into another hole, where they will return to the first hole and repeat at regular intervals. They do not actively pursue Pikmin, but are still hazardous due to the spikes, so they should be treated as an [[obstacle]]. [[Rock Pikmin]] cannot be hurt by the spikes, and throwing one at a Speargrub will kill it.

Sporegrubs, unlike other members of the mandiblard family, have no visible mouths. Their heads are dark brown with bright green eyes, and their bodies are purple with pink spots. Two rows of spikes line their backs, though these are just for show and don't harm Pikmin. They also have six tiny legs, making them the only mandiblard to have visible limbs. When approached, Sporegrubs attack by expelling [[Poison|poisonous gas]]. They can be defeated by a single Pikmin thrown onto them.

Swarming Sheargrubs are a green subspecies of the mandiblard family, quite similar to the Female Sheargrub. They are usually found in groups of six to eight. They can drink [[nectar]] to increase in size and weigh objects down. When attacked, the entire group goes into a panic and scatters. Swarming Sheargrubs can't attack leaders or Pikmin, making it the second member of this family to be completely harmless. Their mandibles are shorter and stubbier than a [[Female Sheargrub]]'s, but only by a little bit. Although they have many similarities to the Female Sheargrubs, they do not have a known gender.
