The Calcified Crushblat is a very unusual enemy in Pikmin 3. It resembles a bulbous, frog-like creature that stands on tall, bird-like legs. It is capable of covering itself in a crystal-like shell for defence. Rock Pikmin or Bomb Rocks are needed to destroy its armour. It attacks by jumping on Pikmin to crush them. The creature only appears once in Story mode, residing in the Tropical Wilds. The Calcified Crushblat sits motionlessly on the ground with its legs retracted, resembling nothing more than a crystaline rock on the ground. However, as the player approaches, it will begin to visibly breath heavily, get up, and walk around. It will not actively attack Pikmin or players, but if they walk underneath it, it will not hesitate to jump on them and crush them.
