Mitites are enemies found in Pikmin 2. They are helpless, but not harmless. They are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs to move around. When stumbled upon they appear in a swarm of 10, scuttling around, sending both themselves and the Pikmin into a panic. They are found in eggs on the ground and in Honeywisp eggs, underground in specific locations (such as sublevel 10 of Hole of Heroes), as well as in the bodies of some Raging Long Legs. Mitites can be found just about anywhere, it just depends on the chance that an egg will contain some. They will eventually burrow back unless killed. The best way to kill them is to throw Purple Pikmin onto them (any color will work, but purple ones send out shockwaves that kill the surrounding Mitites). They will drop nectar when killed, which makes them valuable if you want flowered Pikmin, especially if you are able to kill all of them. If you are trying to get Pokos, they are also efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay their eggs inside the eggs of other organisms in the act of parasitism. Strangely, they cannot be petrified in the field or cave you find them in, but can be petrified in the Piklopedia entry by pressing the Z button.

Four scurrying Mitites.
