Swooping Snitch Bug
- Main article: Swooping Snitchbug.
The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present during both of Captain Olimar's expeditions to the Pikmin Planet. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of propulsion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them toward the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas Pikmin are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-stem state. If a Bug carries too much, it crashes into the ground and is succeptable to attack. Captain Olimar devised the tactic of hurling Pikmin at airborne Bugs, forcing them to land. It is suggested that the Scarpanids evolved from Shearwigs.
