Phosbat pod

Phosbat Pods are immobile egg sac-like structures from which Phosbats spawn. They are found active or dormant, and an active pod will continue spawning Phosbats until five exist, and once this limit is reached, it will stop until at least one of its Phosbats is killed. They are sensitive to light, much like the Phosbats themselves, and will close up if exposed to it. They can also be disabled by being attacked by Pikmin until defeated. If a pod is dormant, only the Vehemoth Phosbat's roar will activate it.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Phosbat pod is a species of Aerodentia in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. They resemble their original counterpart in Pikmin 3. Although not an enemy, the pod will produce Phosbats to attack the player. The pod will create five Phosbats and stop; only making more if the Phosbats are killed. The pod will also stop producing Phosbats if a Glowcap is activated near it, or if it is killed.
