- Male Sheargrubs are dark purple monsters in the Pikmin series for Nintendo GameCube and New Play Control for Wii. There is a female one that is brighter, and it can't kill Pikmin. These two and the Shearwigs are in the Mandiblard family. These are the weakest monsters in both Pikmin games. This is the Sheargrub that eats Pikmin. In Pikmin, there was a glitch, when he would eat a Pikmin, he would eat it no matter what. Even if he is out of health, he will finish eating that one Pikmin. They later appear in Pikmin 2. Like the Female Sheargrub, the Male Sheargrub will destroy the bridge, along with the Shearwig and Cloaking Burrow-nit. A Purple Pikmin can kill it with a hit. If it eats a White Pikmin, it dies.

- Male Sheargrubs (ウジンコ♂) can easily be distinguished from Female Sheargrubs by their dark purple color and large mandibles. Unlike the females, which are believed largely scavenge dead Pikmin, Male Sheargrubs are predatory and extremely aggressive, and will attack Captains and Pikmin when the opportunity presents itself. Sheargrubs have lost both their legs and wings in an odd twist of evolution, and have adapted to life spent mostly underground. In Pikmin, they spawn in certain areas and will swarm your pikmin. These creatures are also related to the Shearwig.
