The '''Phosbat''' | The '''Phosbat''' is a creature found in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and is the infant form of the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. It bears some notable resemblances to the adult form, including its orange wings, black, hairy head, and big bulging eyes that squint when exposed to light. The noises the Phosbat emits is also similar to that of the adult form. Its legs are stumpy, similar to those of the adult, but it lacks proper arms. It also lacks fluorescent lights upon its head, and only two fangs are visible in its mouth. | ||
Phosbats can only live in dark environments, such as caves, and will take continuous damage as long as they are exposed to light. Therefore, they can easily be dealt with by throwing Pikmin at [[Common Glowcap]]s found in the caves where they grow. This will cause them to spring up and become a light source, scattering and damaging, potentially killing, all nearby Phosbats. | Phosbats can only live in dark environments, such as caves, and will take continuous damage as long as they are exposed to light.

The pods are only activated after two of the smaller lights have been turned on, so it is possible, and preferable, to not encounter the Phosbats during this battle. After the boss is defeated, the pods close up and Phosbats are not encountered for the remainder of the game. | ||
A group of 16 Phosbats can be found in Battle enemies! mode for [[Beastly Caverns]], directly under Alph's starting position. Despite being in such a large number, they are easy to defeat right at the beginning, as 10 [[Rock Pikmin]] are found in the area, as well as many Glowcaps. Each Phosbat killed provides 5 points, making a total of 80 points for killing them, accounting for close to 20% of the score for completing the challenge. | A group of 16 Phosbats can be found in Battle enemies! mode for [[Beastly Caverns]], directly under Alph's starting position.

Phosbats are found in dark or dimly-lit areas and only pose any threat if the player comes very close to one. They tend to wander around in circles, not moving anywhere, and they will give a short and slow chase if they spot a leader or Pikmin with their limited range of sight. Their bites pose little threat to [[leader]]s, unlike the [[Bulborb Larva]], and they die very quickly | Phosbats are found in dark or dimly-lit areas and only pose any threat if the player comes very close to one.

Phosbats don't attack very often, and the area that they can cover with one bite is minimal. This makes them easy to defeat without any Pikmin deaths. If a Pikmin is caught, there is a good amount of time before the creature will swallow it, providing the opportunity to kill it with lights or another Pikmin. | Phosbats don't attack very often, and the area that they can cover with one bite is minimal.

'''Phosbat pods''' are nest-like structures from which Phosbats spawn. If shine from a [[Glowcap]] shines on top of one, it shrinks and disappears, giving the player easy nectar. | |||
