The '''Flighty Joustmite''' ({{j|トビカブリ|Tobi Kaburi|Flying Headgear-Wearer}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{P4}}. This creature has the ability to fly, unlike other [[burrow-nit]]s. It acts much like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] and the [[Joustmite]], in that it lashes its proboscis out to eat [[Pikmin family|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 appears in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

It acts much like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] and the [[Joustmite]], its relatives, in that it lashes its proboscis out to eat [[Pikmin family|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]]''.
==Notes==
===Pikmin 3 Prima Guide===
''"Like the standard Joustmite, the Flighty Joustmite spends most of its time partially buried. When it senses nearby prey, this low-flying enemy emerges and attacks its victims from above.''


==Behavior==
''Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by the Flighty Joustmites's attacks, making them an excellent choice when dealing with this enemy. Flank the creature and attack from the rear, throwing your Pikmin onto the Flighty Joustmite's soft body."''
The Flighty Joustmite, like the Joustmite, is a passive creature, only ever coming out of the ground when Pikmin or a [[leader]] is nearby. Once awakened, however, it will turn very aggressive. Like the Joustmite, its main form of attacking is by lashing out its proboscis to eat Pikmin. It keeps its face and front protected, while leaving its back open for attack. If a quarter of its health is depleted, it will attempt to take to the skies. If while airborne, it attempts to eat a Pikmin and misses, its proboscis will be stuck in the ground for a few seconds. The Flighty Joustmite [[Health#Regeneration|regenerates]] health at all times, and can fully heal in 120 seconds, or two minutes. When its health reaches 90%, it will return to the ground, In Pikmin 4, it will always fly.
==Battle Strategy==
The Flighty Joustmite attacks by flying and stabbing its spear-like appendage straight down upon its prey. They can also attack while on the ground. If it misses whilst airborne, its joust will be stuck in the dirt for multiple seconds, making this an opportune time to attack it. To do so, you must hit the fleshy white part on its back, which isn't guarded by a shell. [[Rock Pikmin]] make fighting this creature a cakewalk, as they are immune to its stabbing probuscis.


==Locations==
Once it has last half of its overall health, it will begin to fly. While in the air, it is harder to hit and its health will regenerate quickly, much like the [[Shearwig]]s do, so [[Winged Pikmin|Winged Pikmin]] are recommended to use when it is airborne. If more than '''10''' Winged Pikmin grab onto it, the creature will plummet to the ground and fall on its side, leaving itself vulnerable to further attack as it struggles to reorient itself.
In [[Pikmin 3]], there is a Flighty Joustmite in the [[Twilight River]], and two in the [[Tropical Wilds]]. In [[Mission Mode]], they can can be found in [[Clockwork Chasm]] and [[Twilight River Remix]]. Three can be found in layout B of [[Sandbox Kingdom]], and there are two more in [[Channel Gone Dry]].


In [[Pikmin 4]], four Flighty Joustmites are encountered in the [[Primordial Thicket]], two on sublevel 3 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]], one on sublevel 1 of the [[Frozen Inferno]], two on sublevel 4 of the [[Plunder Palace]], and then three on sublevel 4 of the [[Subterranean Swarm]]. There are five in the [[Hero's Hideaway]] during the Stargazer's Spot night expedition, and three more in [[Serene Shores]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. In the [[Dandori Challenge]], one Flighty Joustmite can be found in the [[Aerial Incinerator]], and one is in the [[Trial of the Sage Leaf]]'s third story, Dig Deep.

{{guide}}
The Flighty Joustmite attacks by flying and stabbing its spear-like appendage straight down upon its prey. They can also attack while on the ground. If it misses whilst airborne, its joust will be stuck in the dirt for multiple seconds, making this an opportune time to attack it. To do so, you must hit the fleshy white part on its back, which isn't guarded by a shell. [[Rock Pikmin]] make fighting this creature a cakewalk, as they are immune to its stabbing proboscis.
 
Once it has lost half of its overall health, it will begin to fly. While in the air, it is harder to hit and its health will regenerate quickly, much like the [[Shearwig]]s do, so [[Winged Pikmin]] are recommended to use when it is airborne. If more than 10 Winged Pikmin grab onto it, the creature will plummet to the ground and fall on its side, leaving itself vulnerable to further attack as it struggles to reorient itself. Yellow Pikmin can also be thrown onto it, but it is much harder.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|With a countenance like a little helmet- wearing soldier, it zips up to set its sights from the sky, then strikes its target! This captivating critter is truly a pro. It's unfortunate that when it flies up in the air, you can't see the clever false eyes on its shell or its charming face anymore!|block=y}}
 
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|It's a close relative of the original Burrow-Nit species, but this variety of Joustmite still has the use of its wings.
 
Oddly, it still makes its habitat below ground and employs the same tactic of lying in wait before emerging to strike.
 
The "helmet" protecting its head is functionally as hard as steel due to waxy secretions in its pores that absorb and redirect any shocks it sustains.|block=y}}
 
=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Remove shell, roast over a low flame, then grind meat. Whisk paste into olive oil until emulsified. An extra dash of cumin lends some earthiness to this spicy salad dressing.|block=y}}
