The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his second visit to the Pikmin Planet. It closely resembles the Swooping Snitchbug in appearance, though possesses more body mass and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small terrestrial creatures, but instead of targeting Pikmin specifically, this lumbering bug prefers to attack leaders, snatching them and tossing them to the ground. Captains that the enemy has managed to take hold of are able to struggle to free themselves if the analogue stick is twirled, or have a second pilot throw Yellow Pikmin to combat the Snitchbug. Weighing the beast down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed by the player's Pikmin forces. If you are going to fight it, make sure its away from any pool, electric generator, fire geyser, or poison pipe when you don't have the correct Pikmin in your squad.
