'''Mitites''' ({{j|タマゴムシ|Tamago Mushi|Egg Insect}}) are small and pink creatures with white shells and six legs, appearing in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. They cannot directly harm [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[Oatchi]], but when nearby, cause them to run in [[panic]], which can inadvertently lead them to danger, like a [[hazard]]. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, and just need to be alive in order for nearby Pikmin to panic. In ''Pikmin 2'' exclusively, [[Purple Pikmin]] are the only type of Pikmin who are not disturbed by this enemy. | |||
Any [[egg]] in ''Pikmin 2'', both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a 5% chance of containing a group of ten Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. Sets of ten can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]. Finally, | Any [[egg]] in ''Pikmin 2'', both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a 5% chance of containing a group of ten Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. Sets of ten can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]. Finally, a group of thirty is also released from the body of a [[Raging Long Legs]] after its defeat if it isn’t carrying a treasure. In Pikmin 4, Mitite spawns are predetermined, and they appear outside of eggs much more frequently. Honeywisps never hold Mitite infested eggs. | ||
Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army. In ''Pikmin 4'', certain Mitites drop [[ultra-spicy nectar]]. When trying to get [[Poko]]s, they are also somewhat efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay ''their'' eggs inside the eggs of other organisms, making them parasitoids. Strangely, they cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] if they come out of an egg, but otherwise are petrified normally. | Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army.

In ''Pikmin 2'', Mitites in eggs only come out once the egg is broken. Those that are hidden underground will come out if Pikmin or leaders get near, or if an [[Emperor Bulblax]] in the same sublevel roars. They can also be found in the [[Raging Long Legs]] in the [[Hole of Heroes]] after its treasure is collected. Once a group of Mitites appears, any nearby non-Purple Pikmin will start panicking. The enemies start moving around aimlessly as well. Any Mitites that are not killed will eventually burrow underground after a set amount of time. | In ''Pikmin 2'', Mitites in eggs only come out once the egg is broken.

Mitites appear more frequently hidden underground in ''Pikmin 4'', and cause [[Oatchi]] to start panicking upon appearing. Their egg spawns are pre-determined, and Purple Pikmin are no longer immune to panic. Mitites can not be unearthed by a Bulblax's roar, as they are never encountered together. | Mitites appear more frequently hidden underground in ''Pikmin 4'', and cause [[Oatchi]] to start panicking upon appearing.

Mitties also spawn from the [[Baldy Long Legs]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]. | ||
