Mitite

Mitites are small, pink creatures with white shells and six legs. They can not directly harm Pikmin but do cause any in their vicinity to run in panic, which can inadvertently lead them to danger, such as a hazard. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm and start to scuttle around aimlessly, and any that are not killed will eventually burrow underground. Mitites can be released from eggs, burrow out from the ground, or appear from certain enemies. Every creature in the swarm yields nectar when killed.

In Pikmin 251
Mitites appear in Pikmin 251 and behave exactly as they do in.

In Pikmin 2: New Year
Mitites appear in Pikmin 2: New Year with the same behaviors but a different appearance, being predominantly pink in color.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Mitite is a returning enemy in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The small creature retains its usual appearance. Mitites can only be found in groups of 10-20, hidden in nectar eggs or from under the ground. If not already spooked out of hiding, Mitite swarms will also unearth themselves if a creature like an Ancient Bulblax or Sovereign Bulblax unleashes a massive roar. They can even fall from above if a heavy collision against a surface happens in an arena, like the Sirehound hitting its head on a boulder. Their presence can send any Pikmin except Purple Pikmin in a panic. They can be killed if a Pikmin is landed on them, or if a Purple Pikmin shockwave hits them.

In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds
In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds, Mitites may be found in a colony. The entrance to the colony looks like a lump on the ground, and Brown Pikmin can dig at these spots to reveal the colony. It is rare but possible to find tiny eggs, which are in reality Mitite eggs, in place of ordinary eggs, and interacting with them will cause a swarm of Mitites to come up from the ground around it.

In Pikmin: Redemption
In Pikmin: Redemption, Mitites will break out of a egg they are contained within when they sense nearby Pikmin and leaders.

In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom
The Mitite appears in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom, and is encountered in Dark Moon and Kryptonite Crater.

In Pikspore
In Pikspore, Mitites are just as annoying as they were in. Progglings serve a similar purpose to them.
