The Desiccated Skitter Leaf can eat Pikmin.


Desiccated Skitter Leaves, introduced in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', are the more hostile members of the skitterling family. They actually have a means of killing Pikmin by grabbing them and eating them swiftly. They resemble withered and dead leaves rather than the healthy ones Skitter Leaves imitate. The edges of the leaves are serrated and sharp, unlike its green relative.

The Leafy Lobskitter is a part of the harmless skitterling family and relative of the Skitter Leaf. This creature, however, is not a simple mimicker and actively hunts for its prey. It is the biggest member of the skitterling family and is just as big as the Emperor Bulblax from Pikmin 1. It has a large leaf spread out over the surface of its back. and it has small ridges on its flanks. The leaf is brown and it has two, giant blue compound eyes on its head. Its mouth is a long proboscis with a pair of mandibles at the end. It also has a pair of large pincers and ten, crustacean-like legs. It also has a massive, dark red body.
The Leafy Lobskitter is an elongated skitterling.

{{main|Mossy Skitter Leaf}}
The Mossy Skitter Leaf is a leaf-disguising relative to the more common Skitter Leaf, and seems to be a middle stage between that and the Desiccated Skitter Leaf. It disguises itself as a pile of leaves sitting on the ground, the patterns mirroring that of dry leaves but still holds the same greenish coloration. On being approached, it will jump up and run away. The edged front legs though allow it to run along walls and ceilings in order to escape attackers, a trait not seen in other Skitterlings.
The Mossy Skitter Leaf is either coated in moss or named after its predominantly green coloration.

The Pond Skater can skate on water.
The Pond Skater is an airborne species equipped with wings capable of flight; when not in the air, it is typically found skating on bodies of water. According to [[Olimar]]'s research conducted while he was visiting [[PNF-404]] with [[Louie]] to pay back the debt for [[Hocotate Freight]], some Pond Skaters adapted to life on dry land, losing their ability to skate on water. Over time, the Pond Skater's wings became useless for flying, but they began to mimic leaves of their environment. This evolution would eventually lead to the [[Skitter Leaf]], which shares no residual traits of the Pond Skater.

{{main|Praying Skitter Leaf}}
It has an insect-like body, with a set of long, sharp pincers. The Praying Skitter Leaf is a ambush predator, and remains motionless until prey gets close. During the boss fight, it will move very quickly, and slice at you with its pincers.
The Praying Skitter Leaf has an upright posture and sharp blades for arms.

{{main|Pyra Skitter Leaf}}
{{main|Pyre Skitter Leaf}}
Pyre Skitter Leafs are skitterlings identical to regular Skitter Leafs, albeit with black, charred bodies and glowing green eyes. When awakened, they ignite Pikmin on contact as they skitter around, burning all but Red Pikmin.
The Pyre Skitter Leaf can ignite itself.

===Scatter Shroom===
===Scatter Shroom===
{{main|Scatter Shroom}}
{{main|Scatter Shroom}}
The Scatter Shroom is a skitterling that strongly resembles a small Puffstool that lacks antennae. They are slightly larger than a Dwarf Bulbear. Scatter Shrooms are completely harmless, uprooting themselves and fleeing when leaders or Pikmin walk by. However, as they are blind and aren't the smartest creatures, Scatter Shrooms often run into walls or topple over, both resulting in them being flipped onto their cap, their body exposed to attack.
The Scattershroom disguises itself as a mushroom.

===Scuttlerock===

{{main|Scuttlerock}}
{{main|Scuttlerock}}
A member of the Skitterling family, the Scuttlerock is a variant that lives in sandy or barren/dry areas. It is not dangerous and will flee when Pikmin or pilots draw near. Because it is protected by a hard shell it moves pretty slowly and only throwing Purple Pikmin will cause damage.
The Scuttlerock disguises as a rock.

{{main|Skitter Bomb}}
Skitter Bombs are Skitterlings that disguise themselves as bomb-rocks. This is a very good ruse, though with a certain upgrade, you can pick them up and throw them. Other than that, they're the same as Skitter Leaves, only with more health.

{{main|Skitter Leaf}}
The Skitter Leaf disguises itself as a fallen leaf.


The Skitter Leaf is a harmless enemy introduced in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They resemble a regular, healthy leaf. Skitter Leaves are fairly uncommon enemies, but are often found in groups. If approached, a Skitter Leaf will try to scurry away as it has no means of defense or offense. They can often be more trouble than they're worth, since they are only worth one [[Poko]] and seed.
===Skitter Petal===

The Skitter Petal disguises itself as a petal, either from a flower or a tree.


===Skitter Reed===
===Skitter Reed===
{{main|Skitter Reed}}
{{main|Skitter Reed}}
As their name suggests, a Skitter Reed is a species of Skitterling that closely resembles a Reed plant. Its lower body has turned rigid, resembling said plant, and it uses it for camouflage as it lays dormant. Unlike other Skitterlings, the Skitter Reed has only two legs, though it can still move faster than a typical Skitterling. It'll stay perfectly still, its stiff lower half-raised into the air to mimic a reed, but will panic and scatter if you venture too close.
The Skitter Reed resembles a long stalk and may inhabit water.

===Skittercap===

The Skittercap hides beneath an acorn cap and reveals itself when Pikmin come near.
 
===Skitterpeel===

The Skitterpeel causes anything that steps on it to slip.


===Skittylion===
===Skittylion===
{{main|Skittylion}}
{{main|Skittylion}}
The Skittylion is a larger member of the skitterling family. From a distance, it appears to be a mere Seeding Dandelion, but when approached by leaders or Pikmin, it reveals its true form and begins attacking them. The seeding dandelion on its body is nothing more than a leaf is to the Skitter Leaf's body, and top the stem is a puffball meant to resemble a mature dandelion head.
The Skittylion disguises as a Dandelion or Seeding Dandelion.
