The Skutterchuck is a small bipedal insectoid creature featured in Pikmin 3. They have a habit of picking up objects similar to Dweevils. However, this creature particularly picks up round crystalline stones to defend itself. If the player uses a Rock Pikmin to break the stone, it will quickly scurry away.
The Skutterchuck has many insectoid features, such as 5-jointed hindlegs and a pair of antennea. It also has 2 yellow cephlapodean eyes. Its head appears to be concave, allowing it to hold the pebbles. If Pikmin continue to attack it after there are no more pebbles for it to pick up, it will thrust itself upward to launch the attacking Pikmin high into the air. When it dies, it flips over and curls its legs in the same stereotypical fashion most insects die.
Battle Strategy
Most types of Pikmin are ineffective for fighting the Skutterchuck; if they are thrown on one's back, it will scurry away madly, preventing any more from be thrown on, or pick up a Crystal Ball to defend itself. Because of this, Rock Pikmin are the best to use for fighting the creatures. One rock will break the crystal upon the creature's back, and then one hit on the body will defeat it. Rock Pikmin are also immune to being crushed, thus they evade the Skutterchuck's only attack, flinging the crystal off of its back, with the aim of crushing the player's Pikmin. This attack, however, can travel a good distance, so it is best to take caution if the player is passing by a group of the creatures, especially if leafed Pikmin are included in their army.
When they are in a group, it's possible to take advantage of the Skutterchuck's attack. If a captain is positioned near another enemy, the Skutterchuck will throw its crystal at the player, and the ball will easily crush the other creature.[1]
