The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' is a [[Scarpanid family|scarpanid]] that closely resembles the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] in appearance, though possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small grounded creatures, but instead of targeting [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] specifically, this lumbering bug prefers to attack [[leader]]s, snatching them and tossing them to the ground. When carrying a leader, the Bumbling Snitchbug flies higher than usual. Leaders that the enemy has managed to take hold of will dismiss their army but are able to struggle free. Weighing the beast down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed by Pikmin.

The '''Bumbling Snitchbug'''  is a returning enemy appearing in ''[[Pikmin: Decayed Leaf]]''. The creature retains its design from {{p2}}. The Bumbling Snitchbug will fly around aimlessly and rather clumsily. If it sees [[Leader|captains]], it will fly down and grab up to two of them, carrying them around for a bit before slamming them into the ground, dealing heavy damage. If it misses, it will clumsily swoop back up before trying to strike yet again. Captains can wiggle around to break free of the snitchbug's grasp. The best way to take down one of these creatures is by throwing [[Yellow Pikmin]] or sending [[Winged Pikmin]] at them. [[Iguana Pikmin]] can also knock down this enemy with their long tongues. If a captain is holding a [[Steel Pikmin|Weighted Pikmin]] when the Bumbling Snitchbug swoops down to grab them, the creature will fail its attack.

===Notes===
[[Category:Airborne enemies]]
====Olimar's Notes====
[[Category:Harmless enemies]]
This is a variety of snitchbug. It's most interesting characteristic is that it likes to snitch leaders. Yet barring wanton carelessness or incompetence, leaders are not easily captured. Any leader caught by this creature is clearly an idiot, which is why this creature is also known as the exposing snitchbug. There are several known varieties of snitchbug, but research has stagnated despite being such an interesting species.

Remove the wings and discard the remainder of the beast. Enjoy the luxurious, wafer-thin wings with fine water-dumple caviar.
