The '''Joustmite''' ({{j|カブリムシ|Kaburi Mushi|Headgear-Wearing Insect}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. It behaves similarly to the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], and is closely related to it. It can be seen as an opposite of the Burrow-nit however, as the Joustmite's shell shields the front of its body rather than its back, requiring [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to attack it from behind. The enemy has a flying variant, known as the [[Flighty Joustmite]].

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|The eyeball-like pattern on its shell reminds me of my father's eyes staring at me after we buried him in sand at the beach. We dug him out immediately when he gave us that look. Makes it easy to imagine what an effective deterrent those staring eyes must be to natural predators like birds.|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Others within this family wear their shells on their bellies, but this one's shell functions more like a helmet.

Its wings have atrophied into uselessness, so instead it burrows beneath the ground and pops out only to pierce prey with its needlelike proboscis and drain their bodily fluids.

Larval Joustmites remain underground for years, or even decades in some cases.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Boil in the shell with a pinch of salt until bright red, then serve piping hot with tartar sauce.|block=y}}

=== ''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide ===
{{transcript|The Joustmite spends most of its time partially buried with its colorful shell protruding from the ground. When it senses nearby prey, this well-armored creature emerges and uses its retractable beak to skewer nearby victims.

Rock Pikmin cannot be damaged by the Joustmite's attacks, making them a very good option when facing this enemy. When you're leading a large squad, however, any combination of Pikmin can make short work of this enemy. Approach the Joustmite from the rear and attack the creature's fleshy body until you defeat it.|block=y}}

'''Text'''
{{transcript|
硬い殻で頭を守る、カブリムシ。前方からの攻撃にはめっぽう強い一方で、体の後ろはむき出しになっている。原種のハオリムシとは、守る位置が逆である。

特徴 その1 頭部を守る殻
:獲物や外敵に向かってまっすぐ向かう性質があり、頭部を守るように殻が発達している。腹部はあらわになっていて、日中は地面に潜んでいることが多い。
:(Image text: 赤い目のような紋は、鳥類などからの捕食を避けるため)

特徴 その2 針のような口
:アゴの奥に長い針状の口吻を持ち、獲物に刺して体液を吸収する。
:(Image text: 鋭くとがっている)
|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
The Joustmite protects its head with a hard shell. While it is extremely resistant to attacks from the front, the back of its body is bare. The position of its protection is the opposite of that of the original Burrow-nit.

Feature #1: Shell protecting the head
:The shell is developed to protect the head, due to its tendency to head straight for prey or enemies. Its abdomen is exposed, and it often lurks in the ground during the day.
:(Image text: "The red eye-like pattern helps it avoid predation from birds and the like")

Feature #2: Needle-like mouth
:It has a long, needle-like proboscis at the back of its jaw, which it uses to pierce its prey and absorb bodily fluids.
:(Image text: "It is sharp and pointy")
|block=y}}

==Behavior==
[[File:P3 Joustmite Stab.png|thumb|left|100px|A Joustmite stabbing three unfortunate Pikmin.]]
Just like the Cloaking Burrow-nit, the Joustmite hides partially buried in the ground, waiting for unsuspecting prey. Once a group of Pikmin enters the attack range of the enemy, it pops out from under the ground and proceeds to attack the player's Pikmin by attempting to use its long, needle-like proboscis to spear them. If any Pikmin are caught in this attack, they will be held in the air for a brief moment before being eaten. Unlike the Burrow-nit, the Joustmite can capture up to 3 Pikmin with this attack.

It should be noted that [[Rock Pikmin]] are immune to its [[stabbing]] attacks. The Joustmite can also shake off Pikmin, which also shakes its loose carapace. The enemy is rather slow-moving, making it easy to walk around and attack from behind.

==Strategy==
[[File:Pikmin 3 Joustmite Scan.png|thumb|200px|An almost defeated Joustmite being scanned.]]
{{guide}}
As mentioned before, the Joustmite protects the front of its body, making it completely immune to frontal assaults. The most effective strategy is to approach it from behind without waking it up, and proceeding to swarm the creature. If the Joustmite is awake, you can still try to run behind it and proceed to throw Pikmin, or you can run away, and the Joustmite will go back underground. Rock Pikmin are immune to its attacks, making throwing them at the Joustmite's rear another effective strategy. The enemy eats Pikmin at a rather fast rate, so be aware.

{{naming
|common     = Joustmite. It is a combination of two words. "{{w|Joust}}" (or "jousting") is a medieval sport where two opponents riding on horses try to knock the other one off with a sharp lance, and refers to the Joustmite's sharp proboscis. The shell also greatly resembles a Morion's helmet. A "{{w|mite}}" is an arachnid.
|jpcommon   = {{j|カブリムシ|Kaburi Mushi|Headgear-Wearing Insect}}. {{j|カブリ|Kaburi}} refers to the act of covering one's head, especially with protective equipment, referring to its helmet-like carapace.
|jpname     = {{j|サカサアカメバオリ|Sakasa Aka Me Baori|Inverted Red Eye Haori}}.
|scientific = ''Trilobitins reversa''. ''Reversa'' is similar to "reverse". This could be in reference to how players attack the creature (from the back, rather than the front) or even its reversed weak-point positioning compared to the Cloaking Burrow-nit.
|internal   = Its internal name consists of only the first word of its Japanese nickname, <code>kaburi</code> (head).

==Trivia==
*Unlike the Cloaking Burrow-nit, the Joustmite's death and shaking animations show that its shell is unattached to its body, making it more of a helmet than an actual shell.
*Although Louie's notes on the Joustmite in ''Pikmin 3'' were unique from his notes on the Cloaking Burrow-Nit, in ''Pikmin 4'' they were changed to be nearly identical. Comparatively, Olimar's notes are distinct in both games.
*The Joustmite's external shell is based on a {{w|Morion (helmet)|morion}}, a type of open-faced helmet. The way it pierces through with its mouth appendage most likely references pikes, which were commmonly used by these soldiers.
