The '''Joustmite''' is a [[Burrow-nit family|burrow-nit]] that hides partially buried in the ground, waiting for unsuspecting prey such as [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]. Once they enter its attack range, a Joustmite will pop out from the ground and proceed to attack them by attempting to thrusting its long, needle-like proboscis to spear and eat up to three of them at a time. Its front side is protected by its shell, but its fleshy backside is vulnerable to attack at all times. | |||
