The Cloaking Burrow-nit is an insect-like creature found in Pikmin 2. It rests face down in the ground. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye markings sticking out of the ground. If it is approached, it emerges and chases down the Pikmin. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, whereupon it sucks the juices out of the victim. The best way to beat it is swarm its tender face, or throw Purple Pikmin onto its back. Burrow-nits, primarily the one in Wistful Wild, will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to Sheargrubs.
This creature isn't seen too often, but it is not that dangerous, as it only can eat one Pikmin at a time. A Cloaking Burrow-nit appears in the background of the Distant Planet Stage on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but has no trophy or other mention in the game.

How to Kill
Pikmin
Swarming it is a suitable method, usually with 60-100 Pikmin, as the hard shell protects it from all attacks, leaving only the face vulnerable, but usually, the Pikmin will revert from the shell to the face.
Captains
Try using both captains and repeatedly keep punching it's face, but try to keep both away from the middle where they are at risk of damage. Most often, when 1/6 of it's health is gone during it's attack phase, instead of the harpoon being released, it will attempt to defend itself (shaking). After defending, it will reattempt the attack phase. Repeat.
