The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like [[enemy]] found in {{p2}}. Cloaking Burrow-nits have dark blue shells with large, red {{w|eyespot (mimicry)|eyespots}}. When they hunt, they choose a place where they rest face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for prey to draw near. If one is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until they escape out of its pursuit range, when it then promptly returns to the spot where it was resting and re-burrows its head to wait for its next opportunity to chase prey. They have sharp proboscises which can be thrust into prey, piercing victims and causing damage, right before sucking them up and swallowing them.

Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]]. This creature isn't seen too often, and is not very dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time when it attacks. The Burrow-nit's replacements, the [[Joustmite]] and the [[Flighty Joustmite]], appear in {{p3}} and {{p4}} with a different look and a proboscis at the front of their shell rather than in their vulnerable back, but nevertheless with the familiar proboscis and eye-markings.

{{transcript|The vulnerable area of a Cloaking Burrow-nit is very close to its most dangerous parts: its 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 can eat a sprout.|block=y}}


==Behavior==
==Behavior==
The Cloaking Burrow-nit hides underground with its large shell protruding to the surface. The eye-like markings appear on the back of the shell, so what appears to be its front-side from a distance is actually its rear. When approached, a Burrow-nit will hastily raise its full body to the surface and begin its attack. Its shell protects its rear end entirely, and any Pikmin that lands there will simply slide off. Its face, however, is not protected and can be damaged easily, as it needs to be facing its prey to attack. Though the Burrow-nit is a creature of decent size, it will be defeated within seconds if attacked by a considerable number of Pikmin.

The creature has one basic attack: it will shoot its proboscis out to quite a range, snagging the first Pikmin it comes in contact with. Once in the creature's grip, a Pikmin will be eaten after a few seconds. If it eats a [[White Pikmin]], the creature will die instantly. When being attacked the Burrow-nit may also shake all Pikmin from it.

Interestingly, when a Pikmin is speared, a red liquid bursts out. It is currently unknown what this liquid is.
