The Swarming Sheargrub is a red-eyed green mandiblard that travels about in small swarms at a high speed. They have no form of offense but can move quickly, often leading pursuing Pikmin astray after dispersing. Upon coming across a salvageable object such as a fruit, pellet, or carcass, they will jump and sit on top of it, weighing it down and thus making it require more Pikmin to carry. They will consume any nectar they happen upon, growing in size and weighing objects down more.

Swarming Sheargrubs return in Pikmin: Dimensional Breach, in the Perplexing Tropics. They retain their characteristics from Pikmin 3, distracting Pikmin and fleeing at high speeds when threatened. They sit atop salvageable objects, and can even do so to piles of fragments, making the next fragment require more than one Pikmin to carry. They can not dismantle bridges or climbing sticks.
Notes
Sagittarius' notes
- “Unlike their base counterparts, Swarming Sheargrubs are best kept in a pen instead of an ant farm; their underground dens are simply pockets for them to take shelter from the night. Any type of food will suffice for feeding them, as long as it is moist enough for the sheargrub's mouthparts to absorb nutrients from.”
Libra's notes
- “The creatures' iconic emerald shade makes it perfect for wear inspired by the majesty of a grassy spring meadow. Since they usually travel in swarms, harvesting enough material for multiple gowns is an easy enough task. The bigger problem is capturing a swarm of these little guys.”
Derrick's notes
- “One would think that because Swarming Sheargrubs are harmless and come in swarms, they'd be just as good for testing as Female Sheargrubs, but in reality, the swarming variety is far too fickle for experimentation.
