The hideous creature resides in dark caves, where it renders itself completely invisible by turning off all of its biolights, which also allows it to safely roam the cave undetected. When a captain approaches the Vehemoth Phosbat, it lights up it's entire body with bioluminescent hairs which glow pink, and an orange torso. Upon lighting up, it will opens its mouth and inhale ferociously, creating a powerful vortex that will trap pikmin and the captain. After a few seconds, any number of Pikmin up to 10 will be inhaled into its mouth and become the Phosbat's meal.<ref>http://youtu.be/YAiielCzc3o?t=1m41s</ref>
 
[[Purple Pikmin|Purple]] and [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] Pikmin are not affected by the vortex due to their bulky build. If enough Pikmin are thrown onto its back, it can be weighed down and grounded, where it will try to crawl around with its small feet. In [[Mission Mode]], it becomes slightly easier to fight, as [[Alph]] can now distract the creature while [[Brittany]] throws Pikmin onto its back, grounding it.<ref>http://youtu.be/f63y1siGdw4?t=3m57s</ref>
==Background==
 
At the beginning of the game, [[Charlie]] takes shelter in a cave, where he finds larval Phosbats crawling on the cave floor. He uses his [[Yellow Pikmin]] to kill them, which leads to the parent Phosbat abducting him. He is not discovered by [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] until sometime later, presumably Day 6.<ref>http://youtu.be/FvIeQK7-Ipk?t=2m58s</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Vehemoth Phosbat is the first airborne boss in the Pikmin series.
*Interestingly, "Vehemoth" (derived from ''Behemoth'') is a colloquial term used to describe someone who simply '''''appears''''' to be large.
