The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' is an insect-like creature found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye 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 reburrows 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. The best way to beat it is [[Group move|swarm]] its weak spot, which is its face, or [[throw]] [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back (they will eventually find their way towards the face for maximum damage). 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.

==Notes==
 
===Olimar's Notes===
This creature's replacements, the [[Joustmite]] and the [[Flighty Joustmite]], appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' with slightly redesigned appearances, though they are still recognizable as part of the Burrow-nit family due to their proboscis and eyespots.
''"The snake-eye pattern on 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 its mantle make it easily identifiable while still making it a representative 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."''

''"Boil in the shell with a pinch of salt until bright red, and serve piping hot with tartar sauce."''
 
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
== Strategy ==
''"The vulnerable area of a Cloaking Burrow-nit is very close to its most dangerous parts: it's mouth and tentaclelike tongue. A Burrow-nit spends most of its time partially buried in the ground.

===Pikmin===
==Battle Strategy==
[[Group move|Swarming]] it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough, 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.
This creature isn't seen often, and it is not very dangerous, as it can only kill one Pikmin at a time. Even if it manages to impale a Pikmin, the Burrow-nit will take some time to fully ingest it, making it vunerable to attack. The best way to defeat a Burrow-nit is to swarm its weak spot, which is its face, just as it emerges or throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back (they will eventually crawl towards the face for maximum damage). Purples also work well for stunning the creature, making it an even easier kill with all other Pikmin. The Cloaking Burrow-nit should not be any trouble to defeat.
 
===Captains===
Using both [[Leader|captain]]s, the face must be repeatedly [[punch]]ed while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. It may attempt to shake off the captains, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.

== Trivia ==
*The "Trilobitin" in the Cloaking Burrow-nit's scientific name may have to do with its resemblance to the real world [[Wikipedia:Horseshoe Crab|horseshoe crab]], a relative of the prehistoric arthropods known as "Trilobites". 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 Cloaking Burrow-nit (ハオリムシ) 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 on it. If it is approached by a group of Pikmin, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the Pikmin. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and eventually swallowing it. Burrow-nits, primarily the one in the Wistful Wild, will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to Mandiblards. The Cloaking Burrow-nit takes 8 Pikmin to carry and produces 8 seeds when toted to an Onion. If found underground, its corpse is worth 3 Pokos.

Cloaking Burrow-nits can be easily mistaken for treasure for early players. Bright colors and excellent camouflaging help keep its disguise.

Olimar's Notes

"The snake-eye pattern on 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 its mantle make it easily identifiable while still making it a representative 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 serve piping hot with tartar sauce."

Nintendo Player's Guide

"The vulnerable area of a Cloaking Burrow-nit is very close to its most dangerous parts: it's mouth and tentaclelike tongue. A Burrow-nit spends most of its time partially buried in the ground.

Battle Strategy

This creature isn't seen often, and it is not very dangerous, as it can only kill one Pikmin at a time. Even if it manages to impale a Pikmin, the Burrow-nit will take some time to fully ingest it, making it vunerable to attack. The best way to defeat a Burrow-nit is to swarm its weak spot, which is its face, just as it emerges or throw Purple Pikmin onto its back (they will eventually crawl towards the face for maximum damage). Purples also work well for stunning the creature, making it an even easier kill with all other Pikmin. The Cloaking Burrow-nit should not be any trouble to defeat.
