'''Joustmites''' ({{j|カブリムシ|Kaburi Mushi|Head-Protector Insect}}) are enemies that were first introduced in {{p3}} and reappear in {{p4}}. They behave similarly to the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], and are closely related to them. They can be seen as an opposite of the Burrow-nit however, as Joustmites shields the front of their body, requiring the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to attack from behind. Flying variants, known as [[Flighty Joustmite]]s, also appear in ''Pikmin 3''. | |||

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.|block=y}} | Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by the Joustmite's attacks, making them a very good option when facing this enemy.

Just like the Cloaking Burrow-nit, the Joustmite hides partially buried in the ground, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Once a group of Pikmin enters the attack range of the enemy, 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. If any Pikmin are caught in this attack, they will be held in the air for a brief moment before being eaten. Unlike the Burrow-nit, the Joustmite can capture up to 3 Pikmin with this attack. | Just like the Cloaking Burrow-nit, the Joustmite hides partially buried in the ground, waiting for unsuspecting prey.

As mentioned before, the Joustmite protects the front of its body, making it completely immune to frontal assaults. The most effective strategy is to approach it from behind without waking it up, and proceeding to swarm the creature. If the Joustmite is awake, you can still try to run behind it and proceed to throw Pikmin, or you can run away, and the Joustmite will go back underground. Rock Pikmin are immune to its attacks, making throwing them at the Joustmite's rear another effective strategy. The enemy eats Pikmin at a rather fast rate, so be aware. | As mentioned before, the Joustmite protects the front of its body, making it completely immune to frontal assaults.
