The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' (or '''Exposing Snitchbug''', as in Olimar's notes) is a creature found in [[Pikmin 2]]. It closely resembles the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] in appearance, though it possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small terrestrial creatures, but instead of targeting [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] specifically, this lumbering bug attacks [[Captain|leaders]], snatching them up and tossing them to the ground. Captains that the enemy has managed to take hold of are able to free themselves if the analogue stick is twirled, or if they 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.

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature found in Pikmin 2. It closely resembles the Swooping Snitchbug in appearance, though possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. It also somewhat resembles Louie. The two also behave similarly towards small terrestrial creatures, but instead of targeting Pikmin specifically, this lumbering bug prefers to attack Captains, 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.

Notes

Olimar's notes

This is a variety of snitchbug. Its most interesting characteristic is that it likes to snitch leaders. Yet barring wanton carelessness or incompetence, leaders are not easily captured. Any leader caught by this creature is clearly an idiot, which is why this creature is also known as the exposing snitchbug. There are several known varieties of snitchbugs, but research has stagnated despite it being such an interesting species.

Louie's notes

Remove the wings and discard the remainder of the beast. Enjoy the luxurious, wafer-thin wings with fine water-dumple caviar.
