The '''Joustmite''' ({{j|カブリムシ|Kaburi Mushi|Headgear-Wearing Insect}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Joustmites behave similarly to the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]], and are closely related to them. They can be seen as an opposite of the Burrow-nit however, as Joustmites shields the front of their body, requiring the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to attack from behind. Flying variants, known as [[Flighty Joustmite]]s, also appear in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

===Dalmo's Comments===
===Louie's Comments (Pikmin 4)===
{{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}}

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。

'''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")

==Trivia==
==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.
