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''.

==Behavior==

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.

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.

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.
