Mistmite

Mistmites lurk under the cover of the fog patches in the Woods of Occlusion. They seek out Pikmin and then leap at them in a tall arc, impaling up to two Pikmin with their sharp noses upon landing. The thick fog hides Mistmites fairly well, but they can still be faintly seen creeping along the ground. In any case, quick reflexes and a keen eye are key to dealing with Mistmites; either throw Pikmin at them as soon as they spring up, or search for the creatures while they are hiding in the fog and attack them from there. Rock Pikmin are immune to being impaled, which makes them an ideal fighting choice.
