The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like creature found in {{p2}}. | The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like creature found in {{p2}}. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye-like markings on it. When it hunts, it chooses a place where it rests face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for its prey to draw near. If it is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until they escape out of its pursuit range, when it then promptly returns to the spot where it was resting and re-burrows its head to wait for its next opportunity to chase prey. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and causing damage, right before sucking it up and swallowing it. | ||
Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]]. This creature isn't seen too often, and is not very dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time when it attacks. This creature's replacements, the [[Joustmite]] and the [[Flighty Joustmite]], appear in {{p3 | Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]].

The Cloaking Burrow-nit is called such because its hide resembles a {{w|cloak}}, and because it burrows under the ground; "nit" is a name given to {{w|head louse}}, a real-life insect. Its Japanese name is {{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi}} which translates to "Haori Insect", a Haori is a traditional Japanese sort of hip- or thigh-length kimono-like jacket. | |||
Its scientific name is ''Trilobitins reclusiva''. ''Trilobitins'' may have to do with its resemblance to the real world {{w|horseshoe crab}}, a relative of the prehistoric arthropods known as "{{w|trilobite}}s". The Cloaking Burrow-nit looks like a "backwards" horseshoe crab, with its proboscis in the spot of a horseshoe crab's tail, and fake eyes in the spot where the real eyes and face would be on a horseshoe crab. The "reclusiva" in its name could translate to "reclusive", given its solitary nature and tendency to burrow underground. | |||
Internally, it is called <code>armor</code>, given its strong hide. | |||
