Shearant

PS undefined

The Shearant is an intelligent mandiblard that possesses legs, a characteristic thought to have been possessed by ancient mandiblards. Whether the Shearant has retained its limbs through time or has evolved enough to regain them is unclear, but they are intelligent creatures that can organize themselves similarly to Pikmin. They can be witnessed performing tasks such as carrying corpses, drinking nectar, and attacking in organized formations. If they are forced to engage in a fight against Pikmin, the combat is relatively one-on-one, making the Shearant a particularly annoying and difficult threat. To defeat a group of Shearants, swarm them with a group of Pikmin larger than the group they are in. Using Pikmin that are good at fighting, such as Red Pikmin, is particularly useful when battling these creatures. A stronger variant of this enemy is known as the Shearant Elite.

In Pikspore
A large nest of them is hidden within the trees of Darkness Plateau. Occasionally small groups may be seen wandering out from the nest to gather food. A treasure can be found by the nest as well as some Pellet Posies that the Shearants were growing, suggesting that they grow and cultivate food like how leafcutter ants do.
