The Shellter Family is a family of crustacean-like creatures in the Pikmin series. They are known for their prominent shell and their territorial nature. The only currently known member of this family is the Crammed Wraith.

Crammed Wraith/Tumidoculum domesticancerius
The Crammed Wraith is a member of the Shellter family recognizable to its purple skin and its huge rock like-shell. It is usually a pasive creature but if it is disturbed by Olimar or his Pikmin, it will use its shell as a shield and walk backwards rapidly to push them out of the way. It's head is very sensible however and throwing Pikmin on it is the key to kill it, Olimar can also use a Bomb Rock to kill it without having to worry about its shell.
