Bumbling Snitchbug

Scarpanica doofenia

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his second vist to the Pikmin Planet. It closely resemblesthe Swooping Snitchbug in appearance and behavior, though possesses more body mass. Although it picks up leaders as it does Pikmin, it will not plant leaders in the ground. Captures leaders may struggle to free themselves or have a second leader throw yellow Pikmin to combat the Bug. Weighing the Bug down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed.

Olimar's Notes

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.

Louie's Notes

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