Mitites are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs, found in Pikmin 2. They cannot directly harm Pikmin, but can inadvertently cause them to be killed by causing the Pikmin to panic into a hazard. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, sending both themselves and any Pikmin they pass near into a panic. Any egg, both on the ground and from a Honeywisp, has a chance of containing Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. These creatures also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the Hole of Heroes; and are released from the bodies of some Raging Long Legs once defeated. Any Mitites that are not killed eventually burrow undeground.
Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of nectar when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army. When trying to get Pokos, they are also somewhat efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay their eggs inside the eggs of other organisms, making them parasitoids. Strangely, they cannot be petrified in the areas or cave (save sublevel 6 of Bulblax Kingdom) they are found in, but can be petrified in the Piklopedia by pressing the Z button.
A similar creature, the Baby Gohma, appears in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
How to kill
The best way to kill Mitites is to throw Purple Pikmin onto them: any color will work, but Purple Pikmin send out shock waves that kill all of the surrounding Mitites; without purples, a direct hit is required to kill a single enemy. Also, purples are the only Pikmin that do not seem to be afraid of mitites
Trivia
- It's scientific name, Mitivius infiltratus, loosely means 'mite inflitrate'. Mitvius sounds somewhat like mite, and infiltratus sounds similar to inflitrate. It also fits, as it inflitrates eggs to lay its own.
