The Egocentric Snitchbug is a new boss found in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature resembles a Swooping Snitchbug. However, it has a black body hue, yellow eyes which glow, a tail, and orange stripes over its body. It has sharp claws for hands and two, fuzzy, white antennas for flight. The Snitchbug also wears a black tophat, oddly enough. The boss can be found flying in its arena. Entering the arena initiates the boss fight.

The Egocentric Snitchbug will attack by swooping up to two Pikmin. It will then spin them around quickly in its grasp before slamming them into the ground; killing them. Its main gimmick, however, is grabbing its top hat to pull out numerous tricks and enemies from it. The Snitchbug can pull out three bomb rocks, which it will strategically slam onto your squad. The boss can also pull out balls of water which it throws to try and drown Pikmin. The boss will sometimes pull out an iron ball to drop on the group; killing up to fifty Pikmin. However, its most deadly attack is pulling out a Spotty Bulbear, Shriekborb, or Peach Bulborb to drop on the group.

The Egocentric Snitchbug is best beaten when baited to grab Weighted Pikmin; which are supplied to you in a group of ten before the battle. If it does grab one, it will try its hardest to pull it up; allowing for an attack. If attacked, the creature will fall down and writhe around violently in a tantrum. It will then get back up and spit out a pool of poison at the group. Alternatively, Winged Pikmi can be used to attack the scarpanid, but it’s less effective.
