The Joustmite (カブリムシ) is a type of enemy in Pikmin 3 that both resembles and acts like the Cloaking Burrow-nit, as it (along with the Flighty Joustmite) are a part of the Burrow-nit Family. 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 vicinity 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 multiple Pikmin at once and kill them much faster.
Battle Strategy
Joustmites act much like the Cloaking Burrow-nit,by hiding itself underground and digging back out to stab and eat Pikmin. However,there are some differences. Joustmites do not take as long to stab Pikmin as the Cloaking Burrow-nit,and can also stab more than one Pikmin at a time. It can also buck Pikmin in front of it to where it can attack them, much like Fiery and Watery Blowhogs. They also use their shells to shield their face, not their backs
Rock Pikmin are impervious to its stabbing proboscis, making them highly effective to combat this creature. This makes it rather easy to defeat.
