The '''Phosbat''' ({{j|コカガミ|Ko Kagami| | The '''Phosbat''' ({{j|コカガミ|Ko Kagami|Child Mirror}}) 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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

'''Phosbat Pods''' ({{j|コカガミのタマゴ|Ko Kagami no Tamago|Child Mirror Egg}}) are nest-like structures from which Phosbats spawn. If light from a [[Glowcap]] shines on top of one, it closes its opening, preventing it from spawning more Phosbats. If a Phosbat Pod doesn't activate before the big light bulb in the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] arena is turned on, it will remain small. | |||
