Most of the skitterling family resemble leaves, and are motionless until a [[Leader|Captain]] or a group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] comes by. | ||
"Skitterling" is a portmanteau of "skitter", meaning to run or scurry, and "ling", a suffix meaning that something is concerned with the root of the word it is found in. | |||

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. | ||

===Pond Skater=== | |||
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 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. | |||
Pond Skaters are mentioned in ''Pikmin 2''<ref>"''{{Notes:Skitter Leaf/olimar}}''" – [[Olimar's Notes]] on the [[Skitter Leaf]]</ref>, but are never encountered by either [[Louie]] or [[Olimar]] during the game. While not directly proven to be a Skitterling, it is regardless an evolutionary ancestor of the Skitter Leaf. | |||
