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.
The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' 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, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the Pikmin. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and causing damage. The best way to beat it is swarm its weakspot, which is its face, or throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back (they will eventually crawl towards the face for maximum damage). Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]].


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.
This creature isn't seen too often, but it is not that dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time. A Cloaking Burrow-nit appears in the background of the [[Distant Planet]] Stage on [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], but has no trophy or other mention in the game.

== Killing Strategy ==
{{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}}
[[image:Cloakingburrow-nit.jpg|thumb|203px|left|The cloaking burrow-nit's back]]
===Pikmin===
Swarming it is a suitable method, usually with 60-100 Pikmin, as the hard shell protects it from all attacks, leaving only the face vulnerable, but usually, the Pikmin will revert from the shell to the face.


==Behavior==
===Captains===
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.
Using both captains, repeatedly punch it's face, but try to keep both away from the middle where they are at risk of damage from the Burrow-nit's sharp nose. When most of its health is gone during its attack phase, instead trying to jab its opponents, it will attempt to defend itself by shaking; a strategy used by nearly every other enemy in the game. After defending, it will reattempt the attack phase.


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.


== Strategy ==
{{Enemies}}
{{guide}}
[[Category:Pikmin 2 enemies]]
[[Swarm]]ing it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough. Aim for the face mostly, but even if Pikmin are told to attack the hard shell, they usually revert to the face eventually. Purple Pikmin can also be thrown at its back or face, with a chance to stun it. Even if it does stab a Pikmin, it is slow in ingesting it, so if you can kill it before it's done with its meal, the Pikmin will survive.
 
Alternatively, if you are concerned about losing any Pikmin, use both [[leader]]s, and repeatedly [[punch]] the creature's face while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. It may attempt to shake off the leaders, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
A Cloaking Burrow-nit can be seen in the background of the [[Distant Planet]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', but other than that, it has no trophy or other mention in either game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'s'' rendition of the stage, four additional Cloaking Burrow-nits appear alongside it.
