The Joustmite (カブリムシ) is a type of enemy in Pikmin 3 that acts and looks like the Cloaking Burrow-nit, but shields its face rather than its rear (its weakpoint). It buries itself in the ground (although some of its shell is still visible), waiting for an unsuspecting player. Once a player enters the vicinity of the Joustmite, it'll pop out from under the ground and proceed to attack the player's Pikmin by thrusting it's long, sharp proboscis at them. If he is attacked by Pikmin it will charges his body and by unleash his shell will move a little bit up throwing any Pikmin near him in front of his face. Unlike the Cloaking Burrow-nit, it can catch multiple Pikmin at one time and kill them much faster. However, Rock Pikmin are impervious to its attacks, making the use of them a great strategy.

It takes a minimum of seven Pikmin to carry it, and is worth 30 Pokos
