Skutterchuck

The Skutterchuck is an enemy first encountered in Pikmin 3. The creature has a black wafer-like body with an orange underside. It uses its odd shape to scoop up and carry around Crystal Nodules, and for throwing the load at an approaching enemy. If not provoked, Skutterchucks may fold in their thin legs and lie dormant on the ground with their crystal as protection and camouflage. Otherwise they wander around in a small area, searching for nearby Crystal Nodules and picking them up if they have none.
