Shearfleas are small creatures that idly wander around their territory until approached by Pikmin or leaders, whereupon they will hop towards and at them. If a Shearflea grabs a Pikmin, it will attempt to jump away from the nearest leader and then proceed to eat them, returning for more afterward. Shearfleas can also attach themselves to leaders and Oatchi, proceeding to attack them while also slowing them until they have been shaken off.

Flann is the Shearflea that appears in Pikmin: Antarctic Survival. Flann is small but has a strong presence for such a little guy, as he's often jumping into social situations to talk with other Diamond Settlement residents once he starts living there. He is aware of the stereotype of fleas being annoying and unwanted pests, and often jokes about it, though it does get to him on occasion. Flann is determined to prove that fleas can be helpful and nice to have around, and he often tries to help out where he can. Unfortunately for him, Flann isn't actually that helpful, due to his small size and lack of useful survival skills.
Flann is very particular when it comes to food, and he is very opinionated and critical of different food options. Flann cannot stand the taste of some creatures' blood, and even can taste the subtle differences in different blood types within the same species. He will refuse to consume any blood that he deems as "gross", saying it will "stunt his growth" and "ruin his complexion". In addition to blood, Flann also consumes some liquids of plant origin, such as berry juice and Pikmin sap. Flann is just as picky regarding these food options, and only consumes specific types of these liquids. For example, Flann does not grab and eat Blue Pikmin, as he dislikes how their sap tastes, which is quite uncommon among creatures of PNF-404 given that most creatures regard Blue Pikmin to be among the tastiest.
Flann dreams of being big and strong, feeling like he's cursed to be small and unimportant due to his nature as a Shearflea. He is very grateful for his Awakening, feeling like it at least sets him apart from an ordinary Shearflea and gives him much more potential. Shearfleas normally have very short lifespans, living for less than a year. The effects of Awakening Essence gives short-lived creatures much longer lifespans, comparable to that of an average Hocotatian or similar advanced humanoid life-form. This effect is especially noticeable in creatures like Shearfleas, and Flann is thrilled at the idea of having a lot more time to live, hoping this will give him more of a chance to make a difference in the world.
Flann's name seems to be based on the word "flea".

The Shearflea is a small red flea-like creature in Pikmin: Before the Impact that hops around. They can grab Pikmin and stab them, slowly killing them. They can also jump onto leaders and sap health from them. They are extremely frail, and will instantly die when a Pikmin is thrown on their back.
Notes
Stevvy’s observations
- “These creatures are worse than actual fleas! Stay away from me, you stupid red jumping freaks! I’m not a juice box!”
Natti’s cookbook
- “Cook them while they’re fresh! The blood inside gives the meat a rich taste.”
