The Phosbat is an enemy only in Pikmin 3. It is in the larval form of the Vehemoth Phosbat. When defeated it leaves no corpse behind. It bears notable resemblances to the adult form, including its orange wings, its hairy head, and big bulging eyes that squint when exposed to light. Its legs are stumpy, similar to those of the adult, but it lacks proper arms. It also lacks fluorescent lights upon its head, and only two fangs are visible in its mouth.
The Phosbat is first found as Charlie in the Distant Tundra, being the first enemy to be seen in the game, and is later encountered by Alph and Brittany, during the fight with the Vehemoth Phosbat, where it is spawned by Phosbat Pods. After the boss is defeated, the pods close up and the Phosbat is never seen again in the adventure. 16 Phosbats are encountered at the Challenge Mode stage Beastly Caverns.
