The Scarpanid family consists of two airborne species which are defined by their habit of abducting their prey. They swoop down from the sky to pick up either up to two Pikmin at once or a single Captain, depending on species. | |||

The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present during both of [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] expeditions to the [[Pikmin Planet]]. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey, though this species only grabs the Pikmin, not the Captains. After carrying the prey for a few seconds, they violently throw it toward the ground, which forces the Pikmin to be replanted and revert to its leaf stage. Snitchbugs can be weighed down by throwing many Pikmin (or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]]) onto their body, causing them to crash to the ground and making them susceptible to attack. | |||
