The Sunset Sheargrub is an enemy in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. They resemble a small grub, like most mandiblards. However, they have an extremely elegant and shiny red-orange coating on their skin, making them stand out from their species. They also have two eyes with black sclera and a pair of mandibles on the front of their body, as per the rest of their species.

Sunset Sheargrubs, as their name implies, only appear at sunset. Once sunset kicks in, the mandiblard will dig out of the ground, as many other enemies throughout the area will migrate there. They will move around in circles in their territory but will flee if attacked. If collected after being taken out, they will yield a wealth of extra seeds and Pokos.

The Sunset Sheargrub is very rewarding. However, it’s extremely risky to hunt out for one. Some of the most dangerous and deadly enemies will appear during sunset, meaning that the hunt for the mandiblard will become much more risky. It’s recommended to bring strong Pikmin when hunting down a Sunset Sheargrub, as there will also be much tougher foes.

In Overlord mode, the Sunset Sheargrub appears much less frequently. They are also much more risky to hunt, as every other enemy is stronger than before.

Notes

  • P3 Data file icon.png Data file #1: The Sunset Sheargrub is very valuable in seeds and Pokos, they may appear at dusk.

Olimar's notes

The Sunset Sheargrub is a particularly elegant species of mandiblard. It feeds off of the finest minerals found in the soil, which gives it a very spectacular coating on its skin. Due to this, they have many predators, so they tend to only burrow up from the ground during some points in the day, mainly sunset, to avoid contact with them as much as possible. Their diet is their downfall in a way considering they're endangered.

Louie's notes

Super delicious. Super nutritious. Super pretty for garnish. What does this grub not have?

President’s notes

I could definitely use the skin of this bug for a coat or shoe. I could be number one on Hocotate Fancy Digest! As you can tell, I’m an expert in fashion.

Overlord’s thoughts

It’s too bad I don’t see this bug as much considering they only appear during dusk. I wonder what they’re doing for the most of the day. They probably have a nest of some sort...

Sunset Sheargrubs are a brilliantly-colored member of the mandiblard family that only appears during sunset, when they emerge from the ground and lazily wander around in a small territory. When the sun finally sets, they burrow into the ground once more and remain there until the next sunset.
