Greater Cutterbug

The Greater Cutterbug is the largest and most dangerous member of the warsect family. Much like the Common Cutterbug, the Greater Cutterbug is a passive creature that merely defends itself when under attack. Pink Pikmin are able to pry off the creature's shell, making its back vulnerable to attack.

It is the sixth boss in Pikmin 4: The World to Free, and defeating it grants access to the Orb Fountain.

Tike's notes

 * "This creature is huge. I measured its height and as it turns out, it is two feet tall! However, I feel kinda bad for killing it for the sake of this orb fountain. I wonder at times if this creature was summoned to block this exact spot? I doubt it, but maybe it was. However, we did what right and now we have the fountain. Just now I just need to use it. Thank you, monster, I suppose."

Alice's notes

 * "Which one to choose? Epic insect or ugliest creature to walk the planet? I suppose both; how cool is it to have armor with two pairs of swords attached? It does have an ugly face, though. I think I'm going to have a headache... why could it not be just one trait?"

Captain Pikmin's notes

 * "This creature has what it takes to become a living doomsday machine. Well, this tank is easily beaten with pink pikmin by removing its shell, but yes, it is possible. Attack its back while it is vulnerable but be sure to flee before it reattaches it."
