Mitites are enemies found in Pikmin 2. They cannot attack Pikmin, but they can inadvertently cause them to be killed. They are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs to move around. When stumbled upon they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, sending both themselves and the Pikmin into a panic. They are found in eggs on the ground and in Honeywisp eggs, underground in specific locations (such as sublevel 10 or Hole of Heroes), as well as in the bodies of some Raging Long Legs. Mitites can be found just about anywhere, it just depends on the chance that an egg will contain some. They will eventually burrow back unless killed. The best way to kill them is to throw Purple Pikmin onto them (any color will work, but purple ones send out shockwaves that kill the all of the surrounding Mitites). They will drop nectar and spays when killed, which makes them valuable if you want flowered Pikmin, especially if you are able to kill all of them. If you are trying to get Pokos, they are also somewhat efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay their eggs inside the eggs of other organisms, making them parasitoids. Strangely, they cannot be petrified in the field or cave you find them in, but can be petrified in the Piklopedia entry by pressing the Z button.
