The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">ハオリムシ) </span>is an insect-like creature found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It rests face-down in the ground. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye markings on it. If it is approached by a group of Pikmin, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and eventually swallowing it. Burrow-nits, primarily the one in the [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard]]s. The Cloaking Burrow-nit takes 8 Pikmin to carry and produces 8 seeds when toted to an [[Onion]]. If found underground, its corpse is worth 3 [[Pokos]].

Cloaking Burrow-nits can be easily mistaken for treasure for early players.

==Notes==

===Olimar's Notes===

''"The snake-eye pattern on this beast's shell is one of the most distinctive features of the burrow-nit family. The red pattern of the cloaking burrow-nit and the spikes around its mantle make it easily identifiable while still making it a representative specimen of the burrow-nit family. The shell on the cloaking burrow-nit's back also provides a frame that fixes its muscular structure in place, and appears to give the creature its powerful needle-launching attack."''

===Louie's Notes===

''"Boil in the shell with a pinch of salt until bright red, and serve piping hot with tartar sauce."''

===Nintendo Player's Guide===

''"The vulnerable area of a Cloaking Burrow-nit is very close to its most dangerous parts: it's mouth and tentaclelike tongue. A Burrow-nit spends most of its time partially buried in the ground. When your troops get close, it will attack. Toss Pikmin at its head and try to defeat it before it before can eat a sprout."''

==Battle Strategy==

This creature isn't seen often, and it is not very dangerous, as it can only kill one Pikmin at a time. Even if it manages to impale a Pikmin, the Burrow-nit will take some time to fully ingest it, making it vunerable to attack. The best way to defeat a Burrow-nit is to swarm its weak spot, which is its face, or throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back (they will eventually crawl towards the face for maximum damage). The Cloaking Burrow-nit should not be any trouble to defeat.
