The '''Flighty Joustmite''' ({{j|トビカブリ|Tobi Kaburi|Flying Headgear-Wearer}}) is an [[Enemy|enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{P4}}. This creature has the ability to fly, unlike other [[burrow-nit]]s. It acts much like the [[Cloaking Burrow-nit]] and the [[Joustmite]], in that it lashes its proboscis out to eat [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], and has a fleshy area for the Pikmin to attack. The Flighty Joustmite is not very common and is only seen in a few areas, and appears in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

===Olimar's Notes (Pikmin 4)===

 

 

The "helmet" protecting its head is functionally as hard as steel due to waxy secretions in its pores that absorb and redirect any shocks it sustains.|block=y}}

 

{{transcript|Like the standard Joustmite, the Flighty Joustmite spends most of its time partially buried. When it senses nearby prey, this low-flying enemy emerges and attacks its victims from above.

The Flighty Joustmite attacks by flying and stabbing its spear-like appendage straight down upon its prey. They can also attack while on the ground. If it misses whilst airborne, its joust will be stuck in the dirt for multiple seconds, making this an opportune time to attack it. To do so, you must hit the fleshy white part on its back, which isn't guarded by a shell. [[Rock Pikmin]] make fighting this creature a cakewalk, as they are immune to its stabbing proboscis.

 

 

 

|scientific = ''Trilobitins reversa volanti''. It is identical to the normal Joustmite's scientific name, with the added ''volanti'' being Latin for "flight".

|internal  = Its internal name, <code>tobikaburi</code> simply matches the Japanese name.

 

|FraN = The name is a compound of ''"cacher"'' (to hide) and ''"pique"'' (pike)<br> ''"ailé"'' means "winged"
