The '''Skitter Leaf''' ({{j|ハンボ|Hanbo|Leaf Pond Skater}}) is an [[enemy]] found in {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}}. It resembles a leaf. Skitter Leaves remain camouflaged on the ground until approached by [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], at which time they attempt to flee with a cricket-like chirp. They are somewhat rare, usually located in very fresh places, such as near or in water or foliage, but they are not worth defeating or recovering. This is because the leaf they leave upon death, while only requiring one Pikmin to [[carry]], yields only a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin seed]], or one [[Poko]]/[[Sparklium]] .

==Biology==
The Skitter Leaf, when it is hiding, looks like a small leaf on the ground, making it seem like it's part of the scenery. When approached, however, it will leap up, revealing feet with a similar pattern to the leaf on its back, and bulgy red eyes. What the stem would be on a leaf is actually the Skitter Leaf's mouth, and due to its small, tube-like appearance, one can conclude that the Skitter Leaf mainly feeds on plant juices. The main "leaf" acts as a cape, which the Skitter Leaf uses to fend itself from predation by flipping in the air and whipping it around. Upon flipping, the creature will also reveal a rounded, yellow abdomen.

==Locations==
===''Pikmin 2''===
====Areas====
*[[Perplexing Pool]]
**There are six Skitter Leaves in this area. Three Skitter Leafs are located northwest of the landing site, between the [[Citadel of Spiders]] and the water body. Multiple [[Water Dumple]]s can be found nearby as well. The fourth and fifth Skitter Leaves are located further north, near a [[black bramble gate]]. Both Skitter Leaves will be inside the water, with one on the southern side of the wall and the other on the other side. The sixth and final Skitter Leaf can be found directly south of the landing site, with it being on the island that contains the [[Onion Replica]].

====Caves====
*[[Citadel of Spiders]]
**Five can be seen on sublevel 1.

*[[Hole of Heroes]]
**Four can be seen on sublevel 1.

====Challenge Mode====

**Eleven can be seen on sublevel 1. Two will contain one [[Arboreal Frippery]] each, two will contain one [[Love Sphere]] each, two will contain one [[Mirth Sphere]] easy, two will contain one [[Omniscient Sphere]] each, two will contain one [[Science Project]] each, and one will contain [[The Key]].

===''Pikmin 3''===
====Areas====
*[[Tropical Wilds]]

The first two can be found directly east of the landing site, in the section behind the [[crystal wall]]. They are near the edge of the water body and near a [[Burgeoning Spiderwort]] (that also spawns after the Data Glutton is collected). The other two Skitter Leaves are located towards the southwest, in the small section below the ledge that contains the [[Sunseed Berry]] (the first fruit found in the game). These two Skitter Leaves spawn after the Data Glutton is detected. However, every Skitter Leaf (and the aforementioned Spiderwort) despawn when the [[Food Thief]] is collected.

====Side Stories====
=====Olimar's Comeback=====

The third Skitter Leaf can be found east of the previous two, adjacent to the [[crystal wall]]. The fourth and final Skitter Leaf can be found slightly east of the third Skitter Leaf, in the now-drained water body.

====Mission Mode====

*[[Stagnant Sea]]
**There are three Skitter Leaves in layout A. The first Skitter leaf can be found in the small water body between the two Onion-populated island. It shares this space with multiple [[Wolpole]]s. The second Skitter Leaf is located on the central island, at the edge of the island&mdash;a direct line from the [[Dusk Pustules]]. The third and final Skitter Leaf is located in the body of water with the upright boot. It's the section with the [[Red Marble]]. The Skitter Leaf is adjacent to the 5-[[Pellet Posy]].
*[[Blooming Terrace]]
**There are four Skitter Leaves in layout A. The first two Skitter Leaves are located in the northeasternmost corner, adjacent to a [[Bulborb]]. The other two Skitter Leaves can be found in the southwesternmost corner, adjacent to another Bulborb.

The remaining four Skitter Leaves can be found between the Fragrant Ravine and the Misshapen Pond bases. Two of these Skitter Leaves will be near another clay bridge, and the other two will be in the water near the [[Flarlic]].

====Caves====
*[[Secluded Courtyard]] - 10 fall from the sky
**There are twelve Skitter Leaves on sublevel 1. The first two can be found slightly northeast of the base, between the hanging [[Citrus Lump]] and the small water body containing a pair of [[Wolpole]]s. The final ten Skitter Leaves (all of which fall from the sky) can be found towards the far northeast, in the section holding the [[Universal Rubber Cutie]]. They all fall once the player gets close enough to the [[treasure]].

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|In both its vibrant spring color and precise shape, this cunning crawler looks just like a leaf! It's the perfect camouflage! It only becomes an issue when this sometimes careless critter forgets to look for a hiding place with an abundance of other green leaves lying around. Then it becomes quite easy to spot!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|The Skitter Leaf is a relative of the pond skater that shed its wings and adapted to life on the ground. With no residual traits of its airborne past, the Skitter Leaf can neither fly nor skit across the surface of the water.

The wings have since evolved into the leaflike structure on its back, which serves to hide the Skitter Leaf through mimicry. It appears quite effective, as few predators can see through this clever disguise.|block=y}}

=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|The superb amalgamation of juicy meat and leafy greens ensures that the Skitter Leaf will be the new spinach!|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's guide===
{{transcript|They look like leaves, but they're critters. You can swarm Skitter Leafs or hit them with air attacks and defeat them with ease. In one Challenge-mode arena, you'll defeat Skitter Leafs to earn point-producing treasure.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Skitter Leaf is a harmless creature that uses its leaf-shaped body to blend into the environment. When threatened, a Skitter Leaf jumps out of hiding and attempts to flee from its attackers. You can simply ignore these enemies, but they can prove useful when Pikmin cultivation is a priority. To defeat a Skitter Leaf, simply toss a single Pikmin onto its back.|block=y}}

===Pikmin Garden===
'''Text'''
{{transcript|
青々とした広葉樹の葉に擬態した、アメンボの一種。外敵からの捕食を避けるため、葉っぱのふりをしている。水に浮くことはできないが、体をくねらせて上手に泳ぐことができる。

特徴 その1 擬態する
:木の葉のふりをして、 その下に体を隠し外敵から身を守っている。柄のような口吻で、大地のエキスを吸う。

特徴 その2 羽の名残
:葉っぱに見える部位は羽が変化したもので、その名残から動いたときに鈴のような音が嗚る。
:(Image text: 羽に隠れた体には青い斑点がある)
|block=y}}

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of pond skater that mimics the leaves of lush broadleaf trees. It pretends to be a leaf to avoid predation from enemies. Although it cannot float in water, it can swim well by twisting its body.

Feature #1: Mimicry
:Pretending to be a leaf, it hides its body underneath to protect itself from enemies. It uses its stalk-like proboscis to suck nectar.

Feature #2: Remnants of wings
:The part of the body that looks like a leaf was originally a pair of wings, the remnants of which make a bell-like sound when it moves.
:(Image text: "There are blue spots on the body hidden by the wings")
|block=y}}

==Strategy==
{{guide}}

===With Pikmin===
Due to their low health, any type of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be used to defeat them. Simply [[swarm]] or [[charge]] at it your squad. Alternatively, landing one Pikmin directly onto its back will instantly defeat it. Later games in the series make this method easier due to the [[lock-on]] mechanic, though for {{p4}}, the Skitter Leaf will need to be agitated.

===Alternative methods===
Their low health means that a [[leader]] can simply punch them until the Skitter Leaf is defeated, this is made even easier with the [[Rocket Fist]] upgrade. [[Oatchi]] also makes dealing with these enemies a breeze, even with a low levelled [[Chomp]].

==Trivia==
*The Skitter Leaf resembles ''[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Magnolia acuminata leaves 01 by Line1.jpg Magnolia acuminata]'' leaves.
*In both {{p2}} and {{p3}}, the Skitter Leaf moves very slowly in water, and its animation resembles it attempting to swim.
*In {{p4}}, it's possible for both Oatchi and a Pikmin to carry the same Skitter Leaf body, as seen in the gallery above.
*Occasionally, when a Skitter Leaf disguises itself right as it loses all of its [[health]], it won't die until being disturbed again.{{Source needed}}
