Vehemoth Phosbat

“	Vehemoth Phosbat Tectupervus pteromys Aerodentia family It is forced to live in darkness due to its extreme photosensitivity. The specialized chromatophores on its skin can absorb faint light sources to turn completely transparent. Its wings and spines are covered in mildly toxic scales that paralyze small insects until it can inhale them with a powerful vortex. Often, creatures that evolve in darkness have atrophied eyes and albinism, but that is notably not the case here. It does, however, share a tendency to only venture out at night with other cave dwellers.''	„

Background

The Vehemoth Phosbat (オオバケカガミ) is the second boss in Pikmin 3, and the mysterious entity that originally opposed Charlie in the Distant Tundra. It is a large, bioluminescent moth-like creature with massive orange wings, yellow eyes, small stumpy limbs, and a large gaping whale-like mouth. IT can camouflage its body in dark areas which is how it originally snuck up on Charlie. After its death, the crew rescue Charlie and is rewarded with the Heroine's Tear.
