The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' ({{j|ハオリムシ|Haori Mushi|{{w|Haori}} Insect}}) is an insect-like creature found in {{p2}}. Cloaking Burrow-nits have dark blue shells with large, red eye-like markings. When they hunt, they choose a place where they rest face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for prey to draw near. If one 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. They have sharp proboscises which can be thrust into prey, piercing victims and causing damage, right before sucking them up and swallowing them.
'''Cloaking Burrow-nit'''


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}} and {{p4}} with a different look, but nevertheless with the familiar proboscis and eye-markings.

==Stats==
The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' is a slightly strange looking creature that lives in the ground. You may see its dark blue shell with large, red eye markings sticking out of the ground. If you approach it, it emerges and chases down your Pikmin. It has an extendable needle-like nose which it uses much like a chameleon would use its tongue, launching it at individual Pikmin and reeling them in to eat. The best way to beat it is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] in front of its tender face, or swarm it. Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Sheargrub|Sheargrubs]]. It's probably safe to assume that they bundle sicks to lay their eggs in because of this.

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
You won't see this creature too often, but it is not that dangerous a creature, as it only can eat one Pikmin at a time.
{{transcript|The vulnerable area of a Cloaking Burrow-nit is very close to its most dangerous parts: its mouth and tentaclelike tongue. A Burrow-nit spends most of its time partially buried in the ground. When your troops get close, it will attack. Toss Pikmin at its head and try to defeat it before it can eat a sprout.|block=y}}


==Behavior==
The in-game [[Piklopedia]] states that there are other Burrow-nits, even though this is the only type in the game known.
The Cloaking Burrow-nit hides underground with its large shell protruding to the surface. The eye-like markings appear on the back of the shell, so what appears to be its front-side from a distance is actually its rear. When approached, a Burrow-nit will hastily raise its full body to the surface and begin its attack. Its shell protects its rear end entirely, and any Pikmin that lands there will simply slide off. Its face, however, is not protected and can be damaged easily, as it needs to be facing its prey to attack. Though the Burrow-nit is a creature of decent size, it will be defeated within seconds if attacked by a considerable number of Pikmin.


The creature has one basic attack: it will shoot its proboscis out to quite a range, snagging the first Pikmin it comes in contact with. Once in the creature's grip, a Pikmin will be eaten after a few seconds. If it eats a [[white Pikmin]], the creature will die instantly. When being attacked the Burrow-nit may also shake all Pikmin from it.
== Olimar's Notes ==
The snake pattern in this beast's shell is one of the most distinctive features
of the Burrow-Nit family. The red pattern of the Cloaking Burrow-Nit and the
spikes around it mantle make it easily identifiable while still making it a
representable specimen of the Burrow-Nit family. The shell on the Cloaking
Burrow-Nit's back also provides a frame that fixes its muscular structure in
place, and appears to give the creature its powerful needle-launching attack.
== Louie's Notes ==
Boil in the shell with a pinch of salt until bright red, and
serving piping hot with tartar sauce.


Interestingly, when a Pikmin is speared, a red liquid bursts out. It is currently unknown what this liquid is.
==How to Kill==
====Pikmin====
Swarm it. It may attack a Pikmin, but chances are it'll be dead before it gets to eat it.


== Strategy ==
====Captains====
{{guide}}
Attack it from the back, and run when it bucks. If you attack from the furthest possible distance, the buck won't affect you, and it'll be even easier.
[[Swarm]]ing it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough. Aim for the face mostly, but even if Pikmin are told to attack the hard shell, they usually revert to the face eventually. Purple Pikmin can also be thrown at its back or face, with a chance to stun it. Even if it does stab a Pikmin, it is slow in ingesting it, so if you can kill it before it's done with its meal, the Pikmin will survive.
 
Alternatively, if you are concerned about losing any Pikmin, use both [[leader]]s, and repeatedly [[punch]] the creature's face while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. It may attempt to shake off the leaders, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.

==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
A Cloaking Burrow-nit can be seen in the background of the [[Distant Planet]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', but other than that, it has no trophy or other mention in either game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'s'' rendition of the stage, four additional Cloaking Burrow-nits appear alongside it.
