Unlike it's Cloaking cousin, the Joustmite uses its shell to shield its face rather than its rear (its weakpoint). | |||

Just like the Burrow-nit, it hides partially buried in the ground, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Once a player enters the attack range of the Joustmite, it pops out from under the ground and proceeds to attack the player's Pikmin by attempting to use its long, needle-like proboscis to spear them. It can shake Pikmin off by bucking, shaking its loose carapace. Unlike the Cloaking Burrow-nit, it can catch up to three Pikmin at once and kill them much faster. | |||
==Notes== | |||
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide=== | |||
''"The Joustmite spends most of its time partially buried with its colorful shell protruding from the ground. When it senses nearby prey, this well-armored creature emerges and uses its retractable beak to skewer nearby victims. '' | |||
''Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by the Joustmite's attacks, making them a very good option when facing this enemy. When you're leading a large squad, however, any combination of Pikmin can make short work of this enemy. Approach the Joustmite from the rear and attack the creature's fleshy body until you defeat it."'' | |||
==Battle Strategy== | |||
[[Rock Pikmin]] are impervious to its stabbing proboscis, making them highly effective to combat this creature. Charging the Joustmite from behind is also effective, just as long as the player has a large group of Pikmin. The Joustmite can eat Pikmin rather swiftly, so caution must be taken. | |||
