ThePeckish Aristocrab (カニタマ,Onion Crab) is an enemy from thePikmin series.
Origin[edit]
The Peckish Aristocrab first appeared inPikmin 3. It is a crab-like enemy that can be found in both theGarden of Hope and theTropical Wilds. It is able to blockPikmin that are thrown at it by using its huge claw as a shield. The claw can also be used to either stab the ground or grab multiple Pikmin and drop them into the Aristocrab's mouth. The Aristocrab can also defend itself by blowing bubbles at both Pikmin andLeaders, trapping them inside and making them float in the air until the bubbles pop. Strategies to defeating it include usingRock Pikmin to bombard it from behind or break its larger claw, and throwingBomb Rocks into its mouth.
The Peckish Aristocrab's appearance is based on a malefiddler crab, which has one large claw and one small claw. Its bubble attack was inspired by how the fiddler crab is able to foam.
InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]
As a stage hazard[edit]
The Peckish Aristocrab will appear randomly on either side of the background, indicated by a stream of bubbles. It will then scuttle into the foreground and across the stage, damaging any players in its way and destroying the pot and stick that appear on the stage. It is possible to remove the Peckish Aristocrab from the stage early by destroying the central bridge, causing the Peckish Aristocrab to scuttle down the side of the platform and into the pit.
Trophy[edit]
- Peckish Aristocrab
This crab-like life-form from Pikmin 3 traps Pikmin in its bubbles. When it appears in the Garden of Hope stage, it creates a path of destruction from one end of the stage to the other, but if the central bridge isn't there, it'll just fall right down. You can tell where it'll appear by the telltale appearance of bubbles, so watch out!
