Crusted Cheragor

The Crusted Cheragor is a large crab-like enemy with an exoskeleton so durable that no Pikmin can damage it. Its one vulnerable point is its fleshy underbelly; however, the Crusted Cheragor also attacks primarily by crushing Pikmin flat underneath its heavy body. When Pikmin approach, it will slowly lumber after towards them, and once something is directly underneath its body, it flips over and smashes the ground with its spiked back. This ends up leaving the Cheragor's weak spot open for a few seconds before it rights itself and resumes its hunt.
