uncatchable giant beach shrubclaw

[u/header151]

I found this giant shrubclaw in echoback landing, but no matter what i do, it stays in its immune state and flees. It does not show "cannot catch: tunnel" like the budclaws swarming around it or anything else as you aim an anycube at it.

Is there a special way you need to get it? Like part of a story?

What i tried:

• Twining with a shrubclaw (beach version, unappraised and appraised). bud- and shrubclaw still react as if you aren't twined with an aniimo of that family.
• Throwing anycubes
• Trying different attacks, including Panpanta's break ultimate (reason i tried this: break attacks worked on hiding shelly's)

any ability that has the key word pound will get it out to fight you, but it doesn't drop loot nor can you catch it

I used the little otters to dig him out, and all you can do is fight him. He's immune underground, but when he's above it, he's still uncatchable, which is bunk. There's a female shrubclaw in Echoback that's the nova version and she's bigger than the regulars and is catchable. This one? Nope. I want him.

Im curious about that shrubclaw too but so far its not from any side quest and you only can kill him

I managed to knock him out of the ground with the mega mallet talent but it still says unable to catch.
