The Vehemoth Phosbat is a boss in Pikmin 3. It is a large, bioluminescent moth-like creature with massive orange wings, yellow eyes, small stumpy limbs, and a large gaping whale-like mouth. 

The creatue resides in dark caves, where it renders itself completely invisible by turning off all of its biolights, which also allows it to safely roam the cave undetected. It isn't until a captain disturbs it that is lights up it's entire body with bioluminescent hairs which glow pink, and an orange torso. Upon lighting up, it will opens its mouth and inhale ferociously, creating a powerful vortex that will trap pikmin and the captain. After a few seconds, any number of Pikmin up to 10 will be inhaled into its mouth and instantly eaten.[1]

Purple Pikmin may not be affected by the vortex due to their heavy weight. If enough Pikmin are thrown onto its back, it can be weighed down and grounded, where it will try to crawl around with its small feet. In Mission Mode, it becomes slightly easier to fight, as Alph can now distract the creature while Brittany throws Pikmin onto its back, grounding it.[2]

Background

At the beginning of the game, Charlie takes shelter in a cave, where he finds larval Phosbats crawling on the cave floor. He uses his Yellow Pikmin to kill them, which leads to the Phosbat abducting him. He is not recovered until sometime later, presumably Day 6.
