Subterrestrial Crawbster

The Subterrestrial Crawbster is a creep-crab appearing in Pikmin 2: New Year. It is a relative of the Segmented Crawbster. It only reveals itself when Pikmin or leaders draw near, dropping from the ceiling and impacting the ground so hard that particles from out from around it, although not crushing anything it lands on. A Subterrestrial Crawbster will then proceed to drag itself idly along the ground using its massive arm. When it sees leaders, which it strictly targets as it ignores Pikmin, it will curl into a ball and roll towards them until it rolls long enough, or impacts a wall and boulders and sometimes eggs to fall from above.

A Subterrestrial Crawbster has a dull blue and purple shell that bears white speckles and covers most of its body except for its tan, leathery head, which is cyan towards the shell's opening. Its arms are blue and pink, and grossly out of proportion, the left arm being minute and featureless and the right arm being severely overgrown with a row of curved blades protruding from its outer side.

Despite its head appearing vulnerable to attack, a Subterrestrial Crawbster's only weakpoint is its glowing underbelly, which is exposed after the creature flips onto its back upon colliding with a wall. The creature has high vitality, requiring it to be led into a wall a few times to kill it.
