They are legless, round, flying insects that have devolved wing-like antennae as a means of moving. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grab their prey with their claws. After carrying them for a few seconds, they throw them at the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf state. In ''Pikmin 3, ''Swooping Snitchbugs also can grab captains, much like the [[Bumbling Snitchbug]]. | ||
These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]], rendering it susceptible to further attack. [[Ultra-bitter Spray]] may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays. | These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]], rendering it susceptible to further attack.
