The '''Skitter Leaf''' ({{j|ハンボ|Hanbo}}) is an enemy found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that resembles a leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached by [[leader]]s, 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 [[Carrying|carry]], yields only a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin seed]] or one [[Poko]].

{{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.}}

{{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.}}

The creature being called a leaf is a clear reference to its leaf shape allowing it to blend with the environment. In Japan, its name is {{j|ハンボ|Hanbo}}. Its scientific name is ''Rus pseudoarbicans'', which has a completely unknown meaning, besides the Greek word "pseudo" in it, which means "fake", likely alluding at how it is a fake leaf. Internally, its name in ''Pikmin 2'' is <code>sokkuri</code>, which is an onomatopoeia for "looks like", once more referring to how it mimics a leaf. Its internal name in the next game is <code>hambo</code>, which is the same as its Japanese name when Romanized, but with an 'm' instead of an 'n'.
