Mitite family

The parasick family consists of parasitic creatures that often infest the locations they inhabit.

Flaming Mitite


A relative of the Mitite, it is a strange six-legged crab-like creature with red skin and a body cloaked in flames. It emerges from eggs or the ground in pairs and will chase nearby leaders and Pikmin, burning them on contact.

Mitite
Mitites are small pink creatures with white shells and five legs. They cannot directly harm Pikmin, but when nearby they cause Pikmin to run in panic, which can inadvertently lead them to danger such as a hazard. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, and just need to be alive in order for nearby Pikmin to panic.

Mitite Queen
The Mitite Queen resembles a gigantic, red Mitite, and scurries around using six long, slender legs. It can eat up to two Pikmin at a time. Pikmin are initially frightened by the Mitite Queen, but whistling them will calm them down until the creature lays an egg that bursts open with Mitites.
