Mitite: Difference between revisions

'''Mitites''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">タマゴムシ) </span>are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs, found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They cannot directly harm [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], but can inadvertently cause them to be killed by causing the Pikmin to panic into a [[hazard]]. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, sending both themselves and any Pikmin they pass near into a panic. Any [[egg]], both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a chance of containing Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. These creatures also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as [[Sublevel]] 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]; and are released from the bodies of some [[Raging Long Legs]] once defeated. Any Mitites that are not killed eventually burrow underground.

Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army. 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. 

The best way to kill Mitites is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto them: any color will work, but Purple Pikmin send out shock waves that kill all of the surrounding Mitites; without purples, a direct hit is required to kill a single enemy. Also, purples are the only Pikmin that do not seem to be afraid of mitites.

Another way is to grab every single pikmin you have (red pikmin are preferred) and swarm them, this is easy because they sometimes get killed in 1 hit.

If a Purple Pikmin is thrown directly on top of a Mitite filled egg it will kill every one inside of it. This method is great for making Pikmin above ground and getting Nectar underground. (Note: Mitites are (sometimes) randomly placed in eggs, there is no way to tell where they are so this method could take a some time). As they send your pikmin into a panic, be careful about opening eggs near enemies.
