The Mitite (タマゴムシ?, lit.: "Egg Insect") is a small and pink mite-like enemy with a white shell and six legs, appearing in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 4. Mitites cannot directly harm Pikmin or Oatchi, but they will cause them to run in a panic when nearby, which can inadvertently lead them to danger, like a hazard. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around and causing nearby Pikmin to panic. In Pikmin 2 exclusively, Purple Pikmin are the only type of Pikmin who are not disturbed by this enemy. Any nectar egg in Pikmin 2, both on the ground and from a Honeywisp, has a 5% chance of containing a group of 10 Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. Sets of 10 can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the Hole of Heroes. Groups of Mitites are also released from the bodies of a Raging Long Legs in Pikmin 2 and a Baldy Long Legs in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale in Pikmin 4 after death, the former only if it is not carrying a treasure. In Pikmin 4, Mitite spawns are predetermined, and they appear outside of eggs much more frequently. Honeywisps never hold Mitite-infested eggs in Pikmin 4. All Mitites in a swarm drop a blob of nectar when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered Pikmin army. In Pikmin 4, certain Mitites drop ultra-spicy nectar instead, such as the ones present in the Kingdom of Beasts. When trying to get Pokos or Sparklium, they are also somewhat efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay their eggs inside the eggs of other organisms, making them parasitoids. Strangely, they cannot be petrified with ultra-bitter spray in Pikmin 2 if they come out of an egg, but can otherwise be petrified normally. Stats
BehaviorIn Pikmin 2, Mitites in eggs only come out once the egg is broken. Those that are hidden underground will come out if Pikmin or leaders get near, or if an Emperor Bulblax in the same sublevel roars. They can also be found in the Raging Long Legs in the Hole of Heroes after its treasure is collected. Once a group of Mitites appears, any nearby non-Purple Pikmin will start panicking. The enemies start moving around aimlessly as well. Any Mitites that are not killed will eventually burrow underground after a set amount of time. Mitites appear more frequently hidden underground in Pikmin 4, and cause Oatchi to start panicking upon appearing. Their egg spawns are pre-determined, and Purple Pikmin are no longer immune to panic. Mitites cannot be unearthed by a Bulblax's roar, as they are never encountered together. Mitites also emerge from the Baldy Long Legs in Olimar's Shipwreck Tale when it is killed. LocationsPikmin 2Mitites can appear inside any nectar egg in the game, including eggs carried by Honeywisps. Once an egg breaks, there is a 5% chance that a group will come out. Besides that, Mitites burrow from under the ground when approached, or when called by an Emperor Bulblax's scream, in specific caves, normally in dead ends. These are all the locations where Mitites can spawn in: AreasCaves
Challenge Mode
2-Player BattlePikmin 4Unlike Pikmin 2, all Mitite spawn locations are predetermined, meaning that chance isn't a factor when it comes to them appearing. AreasCaves
Olimar's Shipwreck TaleStrategy
The best way to kill Mitites is to throw Purple Pikmin onto them: any type will work, but Purple Pikmin send out shock waves that kill all of the surrounding Mitites; without Purple Pikmin, a direct hit is required to kill a single enemy in one hit-and-run. In addition, Purple Pikmin are the only type that do not seem to be upset by the scent of Mitites. Although this is no longer the case in Pikmin 4, the shockwave is still effective. Auto Target Lock may focus on Mitites when there is larger danger present, turning the feature intended to be helpful into a nightmare, though this is less of an issue as of the 1.1.0 update, which allows for the Auto Target Lock to be toggled off/on. Mitites cannot be killed by swarming Pikmin into them, and any Pikmin that attacks a Mitite from the side will fail to cause it any damage. When approaching a nectar egg, keep in mind that it can drop Mitites. As such, the best way to open nectar eggs is to throw two or three Purple Pikmin onto them in quick succession. The first Pikmin should break the nectar egg(s), while the next Pikmin create a shock wave to destroy the Mitites, if they appear. This way, all Mitites can be killed in a quick fashion, without scaring Pikmin. However, seeing as nectar eggs could drop nectar pools, it's advised to use flowered Purple Pikmin to open the eggs. If the nectar egg drops nectar and the player uses leaf Purple Pikmin to open it, the Pikmin might drink all of the nectar before most of the other Pikmin can reach it. Leader punches go through Mitites without harming them, but if they are petrified, the punches actually do damage and can kill, despite the health wheel not showing. Mitites can also be killed using Bomb Rocks and other explosive items. NotesOlimar's notes
“These parasitic insects feed on eggs. Upon reaching maturity, they excrete a special pheromone that attracts females of particular species, enticing these females to swallow the mitites whole. (Pikmin, however, seem to dislike the scent.) After entering the host female's body, the mitites lay their own eggs inside the host's eggs just prior to the host spawning.” Louie's notes
“Flash-fry with garlic and red chilis in a hot pan, then sprinkle with grated gorgonzola. Some dinner guests may find the legs unappealing, so it's best to remove them before serving.”
Dalmo's notes
“The cheeky Mitite lays its eggs inside the eggs of other creatures to provide its offspring with an easy first meal. When they come wriggling and squiggling out, it's spine-chilling! But you can't blame the newly hatched larvae. After all, you might enjoy an egg or two yourself now and then.”

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide
“When you break an egg expecting nectar, sometimes you'll be surprised by a flurry of Mitites. The creatures won't harm your Pikmin, but they will send them into a panic. Call your purple troops with your whistle, then stomp one of the Mitites to generate nectar and make the others scurry away.”
