In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Donjon Cheragor is a boss in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. It's a large crustacean with two claws serving as bludgeoning clubs, and numerous legs, and a pair of wiry eyestalks. It lives in a tall, green, conical shell patterned with white rings. It appears as the boss of the Gloomy Mire cave Vibrant Sewers. The Donjon Cheragor lives at the bottom of a deserted, dried-up wave pool. It is found asleep, protecting its face with its claws. Approaching too closely will wake it, its eyestalks then peeking out from behind the claws. Upon realizing that prey, those being leaders and Pikmin, are in its territory, it will panic and quickly take to battle.

The Donjon Cheragor attacks by raising one of its claws high into the air and then slamming the ground with it, crushing Pikmin that are under it. It will do this multiple consecutive times as it slowly approaches the captains. At the end of its pummeling, it will slam both of its claws into the ground just in front of its face, bring them apart, and then slam them together, crushing the Pikmin caught between them. It then pauses for a few seconds to catch its breath before beginning the attack cycle again. If a Rock Pikmin gets caught in the last attack, it will get embedded in one of the cheragor's claws; while this does not cause any damage nor save Pikmin caught in the attack, it does stun the beast as it flails the affected arm in pain, trying to get the Rock Pikmin out from its claw. The Cheragor's face can be freely attacked during this sequence until it successfully gets the Rock Pikmin out.

Occasionally, the cheragor will cross its claws in front of its face, similar to how it does while sleeping, and then haphazardly clamber around its arena, crushing Pikmin it steps on whilst spitting globs of venom that become lethal puddles on the ground when they land. While it might seem like there's nothing to do but wait for it to calm down, the Donjon Cheragor can be attacked in this state, as there is a hole on the back of its shell blocked by a thin crystal sheet. If Rock Pikmin were to shatter this, it will provide a safe and open weak spot that can be attacked at any time. White Pikmin can remove the puddles of venom, although they will eventually disappear on their own.

If the Donjon Cheragor's eyestalks are attacked, it will retract them. If one eyestalk is retracted, it will move slightly slower and be less accurate with its attacks; with both retracted, it will be even slower and less accurate. To defend against this method of attack, the Donjon Cheragor might swat Pikmin away if they get close to its eyes.
