The '''burrow-nit family''' is a family of creatures that partially burrow themselves into the ground before attacking, introduced in {{p2}}. Members are known for their mosquito-like proboscis, weak hides, and ability to disguise themselves with their decorative shells. Members belong to the genus ''Trilobitens''.
The '''burrow-nit family''' currently consists of solely one member, the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]].

Scientific name: ''Trilobitins reclusiva''


The Cloaking Burrow-nit is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. This predator features a hard shell with eye-like markings covering its backside, leaving its face exposed. It burrows under the earth with its shell aboveground, and when prey get near, it unburrows and attempts to stab them with its proboscis.

=== Flighty Joustmite ===
The Flighty Joustmite is an enemy in Pikmin 3. This creature has the ability to fly. It acts much like the Cloaking Burrow-nit and the Joustmite, its relatives, in that it lashes its proboscis out to eat Pikmin, and has a fleshy area for the Pikmin to attack. The Flighty Joustmite is not very common and is only seen in a few areas, and only in Pikmin 3.

Scientific name: ''Trilobitins reversa volanti''
 
The Flighty Joustmite is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It is identical in appearance to a regular Joustmite, but has a red colored shell and small wings with which it can fly in the air. Because of this, it can stab downward, and occasionally its proboscis can get stuck in the ground. Its weak point is on the back of its shell as well. [[Rock Pikmin]] are immune to being stabbed with its proboscis.

=== Joustmite ===
Joustmites are beetle-like enemies that appears in Pikmin 3, appearing similar to the Cloaking Burrow-nit of Pikmin 2. It attacks by sticking out its long, pointy tongue, piercing one Pikmin and then sucking them up. Rock Pikmin, being immune to brute force attacks, cannot be hurt by the Joustmite. It has a white weak spot hanging out of its rear. Flying variations, called Flighty Joustmites, appear as well. The only difference between Flighty Joustmites and normal ones is that, after taking a certain amount of damage, it begins to fly and can only be hit by Winged Pikmin and Yellow Pikmin.

Scientific name: ''Trilobitins reversa''
 
The Joustmite is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Its weak point is behind it, while the weak point of the Cloaking Burrow-nit is the face. Its [[stabbing]] attack is useless against Rock Pikmin.

==Naming==
The family is named after its first documented member, the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]]. Members all have hides resembling a {{w|cloak}} and a tendency to burrow under the ground. "Nit" is a name given to the {{w|head louse}}, a real-life insect.
The genus ''Trilobitins''  is in reference to the prehistoric arthropods known as "{{w|trilobite}}s". Members most resemble horseshoe crabs. In case of the Cloaking Burrow-nit, it would be a "backwards" horseshoe crab, with its proboscis in the spot of a horseshoe crab's tail, and fake eyes in the spot where the real eyes and face would be on a horseshoe crab.
