The burrow-nit family consists of the Cloaking Burrow-nit, Joustmite, and the Flighty Joustmite. Members belong to the genus Trilobitens.
Members
Cloaking Burrow-nit
- Main article: Cloaking Burrow-nit.
The Cloaking Burrow-nit is an enemy in Pikmin 2. This predator features a hard shell with eye-like markings covering its backside, leaving its face exposed. It burrows under the earth with its shell aboveground, and when prey get near, it unburrows and attempts to stab them with its proboscis.
Flighty Joustmite
- Main article: Flighty Joustmite.
The Flighty Joustmite is an enemy in Pikmin 3. It is identical in appearance to a regular Joustmite, but has a red colored shell and small wings with which it can fly in the air. Because of this, it can stab downward, and occasionally its proboscis can get stuck in the ground. Its weak point is on the back of its shell as well. Rock Pikmin are immune to being stabbed with its proboscis.
Joustmite
- Main article: Joustmite.
The Joustmite is an enemy exclusive to Pikmin 3. Its weak point is behind it, while the weak point of the Cloaking Burrow-nit is the face. Its stabbing attack is useless against Rock Pikmin.
Naming
The family is named after its first documented members, the Cloaking Burrow-nit. Members all have hides resembling a cloak and burrow under the ground. "Nit" is a name given to head louse, a real-life insect.
