In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Male Mahowkiniser is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. These wasp-like insects have the typical insect build of a head, thorax and abdomen. However, they only have a singular pair of legs, and as such, are usually flying in the air. They are prominently brown colored, with a pair of red eyes not unlike a Scornet Maestro, and they can move independently from each other as well. They have two pairs of mandibles, one smaller than the other, and a long, sickle-like stinger on their abdomen. Male Mahowkinisers are native to the Mahowkiniser nests, of which change in location every day. One Male Mahowkiniser will be patrolling around the nest as a sentry, and when Pikmin or leaders pass by, this sentry will let out an excited screech. This is a signal that tells the rest of the Mahowkiniser colony that prey is near. After this signal, numerous other Male Mahowkinisers, alongside Female Mahowkinisers, will start to emerge from the nest and make a beeline to The Lumberlift, attracted to the floating base due to it being made out of wood.

Compared to their female counterparts, Male Mahowkinisers are slower, but more powerful. If attacked, they may briefly put their focus on Pikmin instead of The Lumberlift, swooping down and catching them in their mandibles to eat them. They can also use their stingers to both stab Pikmin and spray a toxic fluid from a short distance. Rock and White Pikmin are ideal in fighting these particular creatures. It is also possible to weigh a Male Mahowkiniser down and make it fall to the floor. Each nest has five Male Mahowkinisers in it, and when they are defeated, no more will spawn.

If a Male Mahowkiniser gets to The Lumberlift, it will begin chewing through the walls of the base, causing damage. If it manages to chew holes through The Lumberlift, then it is imperative that the Pikmin gather regenerating goo from a Rejuvenating Styxshroom to patch up the hole, or else either Olimar or Louie will fall out during take off and get briefly attacked by nocturnal creatures, losing a lot of health for the day afterwards.
