In Pikmin Evolution
The Sharpened Rumpup is a species of Armrakid appearing in Pikmin Evolution. The creature has overall the same appearance as the Crusted Rumpup, but its tail now resembles the stinger found on a traditional scorpion, it also has shiny silver armor to emphasize its increased defense and a more pronounced pair of frontal claws. It is a feared alpha predator of the desert, known for its dangerous stinger tail and unbreakable armor. It first appears lying down on the sand, sunbathing, but its quick to awaken so be careful around it. The Sharpened Rumpbup's carapace, like the Crusted Rumpbug, is invulnerable to any direct attacks, however that armor also now covers its tail, which has now become a dangerous weapon. While it doesn't shoot poison as expected, the Sharpened Rumpup can quickly impale Pikmin with the tail's pointed end before it then eats the Pikmin caught on its tail, which it can grab a maximum of five at a time. The Sharpened Rumpup's claws are also a dangerous weapon, not only do they block the face of the Rumpup, but they also allow the Rumpup to scoop Pikmin during its charging attack, giving it a wider charge range. When a Pikmin tries to attack the blocked face of the Sharpened Rumpup, it will strike its stinger tail into the ground, however that attack is actually an opening for your Pikmin to pull the tail. When twenty Pikmin pull the tail of the Sharpened Rumpup when its in the ground, they will flip over it, revealing a soft underbelly that you can attack. After a while the Sharpened Rumpup will dig itself free of this state and burrow out to a more advantagous place with its claws. Kelp Pikmin can also grab the tail of the Rumpup without needing to wait for it to dig into the dirt, though you need thirty of them to pull it down and expose its weakpoint. Alternitivly you can allow the tail to stab a lit Elixer Pikmin, it won't kill the Pikmin, rather the Elixer Pikmin will create a small blast which instantly flips the Rumpup over for you to wail on it. While in most cases killing the Sharpened Rumpup will just cause it to die normally, on some rare occasions the normal Crusted Rumpup will come out that will need to be killed after the Sharpened Rumpup, implying that the Sharpened Rumpup could be a mutated or more older Crusted Rumpup, however that scenario is very rare and only appears in a select few dens. So normally the Sharpened Rumpup is just a natural continouation of its red cousin
