The '''Cloaking Burrow-nit''' is a returning enemy appearing in ''[[Pikmin: Decayed Leaf]]''. The creature retains its design from {{p2}}. This creature is extremely rare to find, only being found in the [[Nostalgic Dive]], and the final cave respectively. The burrow-nit will remain in the ground, with its shell poking out like a [[Joustmite]]. Once approached, it will pop out of the ground and pursue its attackers. After recoiling its proboscis, it launch it out; impaling and eating up to three Pikmin. The only way to take out a Cloaking Burrow-nit is by charging its face head on; as the shell on its back nullifies all attacks from any Pikmin type. Creatures who see the pattern on the burrow-nits shell will run off in fear; although this may be excluded for some enemies, like bosses. | |||

The Cloaking Burrow-nit is an insect-like creature. It has a dark blue shell with large, red eye-like markings on it. When it hunts, it chooses a place where it rests face-down in the ground, patiently waiting for its prey to draw near. If it is approached, it emerges and attempts to follow and attack the Pikmin until they escape out of its pursuit range, when it then promptly returns to the spot where it was resting and re-burrows its head to wait for its next opportunity to chase prey. It has a sharp proboscis that can be thrust into prey, piercing the victim and causing damage, right before sucking it up and swallowing it.
Burrow-nits will deconstruct nearby stick bridges, similar to sheargrubs.

The Cloaking Burrow-nit appears in Pikmin 2: New Year. It retains its behaviors, but has drastic changes in appearance, having purple skin and eyes, a series of white dots on its forehead, a pink proboscis, dark red tips on its legs, and a light indigo shell, which bears two large, yellow eyespots each surrounded by an orange ring.

The Cloaking Burrow-nit appears in Pikmin V alongside its relative, the Joustmite. The two are often found together, tricking leaders as to which direction they should be approached from. Its new design increases the overhang of the shell over the face, making it harder to throw Pikmin at it instead of rushing.
Notes
Brittany's notes
- “Once exclusive in territory to its close relative the Joustmite, the two have increasingly begun not just overlapping range, but cohabiting entirely. Their ability to confound predators, particularly Pikmin, with opposite-facing shells has proven quite effective. I suspect it's only a matter of time before we begin seeing hybrids if not valid crossbreeds, which may require a reworking of their taxonomy.”
Olimar's notes
- “Caution must be taken when attacking, as it is only vulnerable where it is capable of fighting back. Keep strafing in circles and chip away at the area between the proboscis and its shell. Rock Pikmin are immune to its one attack, though getting hits in is difficult due to the eave of its shell.”
Louie's notes
- “I like to come up with different recipes for the same grub on this planet to mix it up a little. But you really can't beat boiled Burrow-nit, especially since the body sticks so strongly to the shell that there aren't many ways to serve it anyway.”
