The '''Skitter Leaf''' is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that resembles a leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached, 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 not worth defeating, and returning to the [[Onion]]/[[Research Pod|pod]]. This is because the leaf they leave upon death, while only requiring one Pikmin to carry, gives only one [[Pikmin family|Pikmin seed]]/[[Poko]]; and because they cannot harm Pikmin.

In [[Pikmin 3]], Skitter Leaves will make a return. They now come in [[Unknown Enemy 7|new variants]] to better camouflage with their surroundings. They are also seen attacking Pikmin near the end of Nintendo's E3 conference.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEbUujVkHWU&t=4m24s Pikmin 3 Demo at E3 2012]</ref> Also it now appears that they can kill Pikmin.

The Skitter Leaf is an enemy in Pikmin 2 that resembles a leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached, at which time they attempt to flee with a cricket-like chirp. They are somewhat rare, usually located in very fertile places, such as near or in water or foliage. When a corpse of a Skitter Leaf is carried back to a onion, it will plant a Pikmin seed; whenever a corpse is carried to the Research pod, it will give one Poko.

Notes

Olimar's notes

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.

Louie's notes

The superb amalgamation of juicy meat and leafy greens ensures that the skitter leaf will be the new spinach!

Killing Strategy

Swarm it with Pikmin, or toss one directly onto its back; Purple Pikmin work especially well for the latter method. It has low vitality and can also be easily defeated by captains. Captains can be harmed by it, and it will shake any attacking Pikmin off when given the chance, which usually knocks off their flowers or buds. This enemy cannot be petrified when it hides on the ground, only when it is up and active.
