The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like | The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like creature found in {{p2}}. Cloaking Burrow-nits have dark blue shells with large, red eye-like markings. 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. | Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]].

This creature's replacements, the [[Joustmite]] and the [[Flighty Joustmite]], appear in {{p3}} and {{p4}} with a different look, but nevertheless with the familiar proboscis and eye-markings. | ||

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 Cloaking Burrow-nit hides underground with its large shell protruding to the surface.

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