In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Trapdoor-nit is one of the newer creatures encountered in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature is a new evolution of the Cloaking Burrow-nit. However, this creature now features a crystalized shell instead of its usual hard exoskeleton. It will hide in the ground until Pikmin approach it, and once they do, the Trapdoor-nit will pop out and thrust its proboscis out at them. To defeat a Trapdoor-nit, a captain should use Rock Pikmin to destroy its shell, causing the creature will hide away underground and disappear. Dart Pikmin can also break through the shell, though ineffective. The Trapdoor-nit mainly appears in caves and dens.
