The '''Phosbat''' ({{j|コカガミ|Ko Kagami| | The '''Phosbat''' ({{j|コカガミ|Ko Kagami|Small Mirror}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] 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.

{{naming | |||
|common = Phosbat. It is a combination of two terms. In Greek, φῶς ("phos") means "light". This refers to how the Phosbat has the ability to bend light and turn invisible, at least in the [[Vehemoth Phosbat|adult stage]], and also how it cannot withstand bright lights. "Bat" refers to how it looks and acts similar to real-life {{w|bat}}s. | |||
|jpcommon = {{j|コカガミ|Ko Kagami|Small Mirror}}. Given that it is an infant, and how the mature creature can bend light, a bit like mirrors. | |||
|jpname = {{j|オウモンコガクレ|Ou Mon Kogakure|Yellow Pattern Hider}}. It is shared with its adult form. | |||
The enemy's internal name, <code>kokagami</code>, matches the Japanese name. | |scientific = ''Tectupervus pteromys''. ''{{w|Pteromys}}'' is the genus for several flying squirrels species, referencing the Phosbats' wings, specifically that of its [[Vehemoth Phosbat|adult form]]. It is also shared with its adult form. | ||
