Haughty Aristocrab

The Haughty Aristocrab is a boss monster first appearing in Pikmin: Dimensional Breach.

in Pikmin: Dimensional Breach
In its debut, the Haughty Aristocrab is fought on the final floor of the Onionshell Nest, a dungeon in the Perplexing Tropics. However, on every day after Day 30, if the player has already completed the Onionshell Nest, the Haughty Aristocrab has a 1 in 7 chance every morning to appear as a boss, in the same area where the Yellow Onion was found.

Battle
Like many Aristocrabs, the Haughty Aristocrab is best fought using mainly a single type of Pikmin. In this case, the Haughty Aristocrab is best fought using Yellow Pikmin. It has two large, fleshy claws that it uses to grab and hold Pikmin before eating them; however, dealing continuous damage to the claws will force the creature to drop any Pikmin it's holding. Once it has used its eating Pikmin attack, either having successfully eaten Pikmin or been stopped, it will jump away from the active Captain and spit a spray of three to five balls of lightning, electrifying any Pikmin that aren't Yellow. When approached, the Haughty Aristocrab will hoist itself into the air, similar to other Aristocrabs dodging a Charge; in this state, only Yellow or Winged Pikmin will be able to reach it. If the player tries to Charge at the Haughty Aristocrab, it will not only dodge the Charge but counter by slamming its body down onto the swarm, crushing the unlucky Pikmin that tried to swarm it. Finally, after losing a third of its health, the Haughty Aristocrab will jump into the center of the arena and spit a stream of lightning in a circle; Yellow Pikmin will be fine, but any other color should hide behind the rocks near the edges of the arena for protection.

Upon dying, the Haughty Aristocrab will drop the Dream Material, which the Ship will refine into a new Anti-Electrifier. Its corpse can also be carried back to the Ship for an easy 25 Pokos, the most valuable of any corpse in the game.
