This creature resides in dark caves, where it renders itself completely invisible, which also allows it to safely roam the cave undetected. When a leader approaches the Vehemoth Phosbat, it lights up its entire body with bioluminescent hairs that glow pink. Upon lighting up, it will open its mouth and inhale ferociously, creating a powerful vortex that will trap Pikmin and the leader. After a few seconds, up to five will be inhaled into its mouth and become eaten. When distressed, it will also frantically flap its wings, releasing a cloud of toxic [[Hazard#Minor|dust]] from its hairs that chokes nearby Pikmin and causes them to scatter around the room. This dust, however, is merely a temporary distraction and is not lethal.

At the beginning of the game, [[Captain Charlie]] takes shelter in a cave, where he finds larval [[Phosbat]]s crawling on the cave floor. He uses his [[Yellow Pikmin]] to kill them, which leads to the Vehemoth Phosbat abducting him. He is not playable until [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] rescue him later in the game.
