The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' is an insect-like creature found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye markings on it. When it hunts, it chooses a place where it rests face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for its prey to draw near. If it is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until they escape out of its pursuit range, when it then promptly returns to the spot where it was resting and reburrows its head to wait for its next opportunity to chase prey. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and causing damage. The best way to beat it is swarm its weak spot, which is its face, or throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto its back (they will eventually find their way towards the face for maximum damage). Burrow-nits, primarily the one in [[Wistful Wild]], will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to [[Mandiblard|Sheargrubs]]. This creature isn't seen too often, and is not very dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time when it attacks.

==Trivia==
Swarming it is a suitable method, and 25 Pikmin are enough, as the hard shell protects it from all attacks, leaving only the face vulnerable, but usually, the Pikmin will revert from the shell to the face.
*The Cloaking Burrow-nit's scientific name, ''Trilobitins reclusiva'', could translate to "Reclusive Trilobite," which is fitting for it's tendency to burrow underground and it's hard shell.
 
*They are one of the four creatures that can eat bridges, along with [[Shearwig]]s, [[Male Sheargrub|Male Sheargrubs,]] and [[Female Sheargrub]]s.
===Captains===
Using both [[Leader|captain]]s, the face must be repeatedly punched while making sure not to be hit with the proboscis. It may attempt to shake off the captains, but this action can be foreseen and avoided easily.
 
== Trivia ==
*The "Trilobitins" in the Cloaking Burrow-nit's scientific name may have to do with its resemblance to the real world [[Wikipedia:Horseshoe Crab|horseshoe crab]], a relative of the prehistoric arthropods known as "Trilobites". The Cloaking Burrow-nit looks like a "backwards horseshoe crab", with its proboscis in the spot of a horseshoe crab's tail, and fake eyes in the spot where the real eyes and face would be on a horseshoe crab.

The Cloaking Burrow-nit is an insect-like creature found in Pikmin 2. It rests face-down in the ground. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye markings on it. If it is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the Pikmin. It has a sharp proboscis which can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and eventually swallowing it. The best way to beat it is to swarm its weak spot, which is its face, or throw Purple Pikmin onto its back (they will eventually crawl towards the face for maximum damage). Burrow-nits, primarily the one in Wistful Wild, will deconstruct nearby bridges, similar to Sheargrubs.

This creature isn't seen too often, and it is not very dangerous, as it only can kill one Pikmin at a time. A Cloaking Burrow-nit appears in the background of the Distant Planet Stage on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but has no trophy or any other mention in the game.

Cloaking Burrow-nits can be easily mistaken for treasure for early players. Bright colors and excellent camouflaging help keep it up.

Two close relatives, the Kaburimushi and the Tobikaburi, appear in Pikmin 3, as seen on the Japanese website's footage. Kaburimushi seems to have a much darker color scheme and the shell covers more of its body, but seems to function the same. Tobikaburi has been given the gift of flight and strikes the ground with it's mouth.
