Peckish Aristocrab/Brachyurices esurio[]
Peckish Aristocrabs are crab-like creatures found in Pikmin 3. They have two claws, one of which is huge and made of a crystalline material. The Peckish Aristocrab can use its massive claw to shield itself and grab Pikmin before eating them. Its mouth is able to produce a great number of bubbles to trap Pikmin and captains for a pretty long time. Its claw is breakable, however, and throwing enough Rock Pikmin on it should left the Peckish Aristocrab without a mean to directly kill Pikmin. It is also really fast when moving to the sides and pretty slow to turn its body around.
