The Flighty Joustmite is an enemy in Pikmin 3. This creature has the ability to fly. It acts much like the Cloaking Burrow-nit and the Joustmite, its relatives, in that it lashes its proboscis out to eat Pikmin, and has a fleshy area for the Pikmin to attack. The Flighty Joustmite is not very common and is only seen in a few areas, and only in Pikmin 3.
Joustmite
- Main article: Joustmite.
Joustmites are beetle-like enemies that appears in Pikmin 3, appearing similar to the Cloaking Burrow-nit of Pikmin 2. It attacks by sticking out its long, pointy tongue, piercing one Pikmin and then sucking them up. Rock Pikmin, being immune to brute force attacks, cannot be hurt by the Joustmite. It has a white weak spot hanging out of its rear. Flying variations, called Flighty Joustmites, appear as well. The only difference between Flighty Joustmites and normal ones is that, after taking a certain amount of damage, it begins to fly and can only be hit by Winged Pikmin and Yellow Pikmin.
