Aerodentia family

The aerodentia family contains bat-like creatures.

Candle Phosbat
Candle Phosbats are the early juvenile stages of a Molotov Phosbat. Having orange-red bodies with red hair and long ears, these creatures wander around until periodically igniting into flames. They will run around for a short time, leaving a trail of fire. Like the Molotov Phosbat, Candle Phosbats are vulnerable to loud sounds.

Candle Phosbat Pod
Candle Phosbat Pods will spit out Candle Phosbats. After five are spawned, they will close up until another Candle Phosbat is killed. Upon destruction, the pod will melt into a highly volatile tar; which will explode upon being touched by any hazard. Goo Pikmin should be used, as they are immune to explosions, and clean tar.

Fishing Phosbat
Fishing Phosbats are commonly found near a water source, and will occasionally dive into the water to snatch up small fish or Pikmin.

Galvanic Phosbat
Galvanic Phosbats are adult Phosbats covered in spiked, yellow tipped fur, and a flammable wax encasing their body. The Phosbat can suck up Pikmin in a vortext to consume them, or shoot bolts of lightning from their mouth which will kill any non-Yellow Pikmin. The Phosbat can also summon their young in battle. To weigh down a Galvanic Phosbat, use sparks to light up the leaf of a Red Pikmin; which the Pikmin will ignite the firewood lining of the arena. This allows the player to attack the creature with Yellow Pikmin.

Molotov Phosbat
Molotov Phosbats are the adult version of Candle Phosbats. These creatures are covered in smooth, red fur, and have large, feline ears. Along with sucking up Pikmin to consume them; Molotov Phosbats will spit out their flammable saliva which will light up the arena. This fire will burn all captains and Pikmin, but wont harm other juvenile Phosbats. The saliva can be destroyed by Red Pikmin. The Phosbat can be disorientated by detonating or having Goo Pikmin throw bomb rocks near it. But to fully weigh it down, Pikmin must build a funnel to throw a bomb rock in; which will amplify the noise and make the Phosbat fall down.

Phosbat
The Phosbat is the first member of the Aerodentia family encountered in Pikmin 3. it can eat Pikmin, and disintigrates in light.

Phosbat Larva
Phosbat Larva are Phosbats in the Larval Stage. They will attempt to eat Pikmin by nibbling on their leaves.

Terrorizing Phosbat
Terrorizing Phosbats are smaller, but more mature Phosbats with developed wings and limbs. Being able to blend into darkness, the creature will shriek at prey; sending them into a panic. They will then swoop down and consume Pikmin; or steal and spit out captains. The creature will attempt to move Frightened Phosbats or Frightened Phosbat Pods out of the way of falling rocks. After solving a puzzle to activate Glowthorns, it will disorientate Phosbats so the Pikmin can attack them. They will begin to start shooting poisonous liquid, however.

Vehemoth Phosbat
The Vehemoth Phosbat is the boss of Distant Tundra. It can eat Pikmin and pick them up.

Wired Phosbat
The Wired Phosbat is a juvenile version of the Galvanic Phosbat. They are covered in yellow, electric fur. If touched by non-Yellow Pikmin, the creatures will stun said Pikmin. If there are large clusters of these creatures, they begin to create an electric field; similar to Anode Beetles. The Wired Phosbat hates fire, and takes damage near it.

Wired Phosbat Pod
Wired Phosbat Pods will spit out Wired Phosbats. After five are spawned, they will close up until another Wired Phosbat is killed. If attacked, the pod will emit white electricity; which will stun any non-Yellow Pikmin. It is best to attack these pods with Yellow Pikmin to destroy them.
