Thunderous Burrow-nit

The Thunderous Burrow-nit is a member of the burrow-nit family that uses electricity. Unlike its cousin, the Cloaking Burrow-nit, its shell is yellow and the eyespots on it are different colors. Not only can this species skewer Pikmin with its proboscis, but it can also electrocute Pikmin it has caught with it too. Anytime the Thunderous Burrow-nit impales a Pikmin, it will electrify both itself and its prey; this usually results in the caught Pikmin being disintegrated, unless the Pikmin is a Yellow Pikmin, in which case it will be eaten after it is electrified. This behavior makes this specific burrow-nit dangerous. Thunderous Burrow-nits are usually found in groups of two to three. Like with the Cloaking Burrow-nit, its shell protruding from the ground is an indicator of its presence.

Yellow Pikmin are the Pikmin of choice due to their immunity to electricity. Purple Pikmin could also stun this creature, making them an alternate choice.
