The Joustmite (カブリムシ) is a type of enemy found in Pikmin 3 that both resembles and acts like the Cloaking Burrow-nit (along with the Flighty Joustmite), although it's not confirmed whether they're part of the same family or not. 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.
