The '''scarpanid family''' consists of five airborne species which are defined by their habit of abducting prey and objects. Some swoop down from the sky to pick up two [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at once or a single [[leader]], but in {{hp}}, they are also found carrying [[Sparklium Seed]]s, [[heart]]s, and occassionally [[treasure]]s. | The '''scarpanid family''' consists of five airborne species which are defined by their habit of abducting prey and objects.

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his [[Pikmin 2|second visit]] to [[PNF-404]]. It's a green bug-like creature with black arms attached to its head. It will steal [[leader]]s, and eventually hurl them into the ground, causing damage. Otherwise, it will wander around while flying with its wing-like antennae. Captured leaders may struggle to free themselves by rotating the analogue stick or have a second leader throw Pikmin to combat the enemy. Weighing the bug down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed. | The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature discovered by Captain Olimar during his [[Pikmin 2|second visit]] to [[PNF-404]].

The Muggonfly is a colossal dragonfly-like scarpanid introduced in {{hp}}. It resembles a large Coppeller with a long tail that it uses to carry food back to its den. It can neither hurt nor be hurt by the player, but its food pouches can be destroyed and raided. It is very rare, appearing only once in the entire game, and is the only member of its family that is unable to harm Captain Olimar and/or Pikmin. | The Muggonfly is a colossal dragonfly-like scarpanid introduced in {{hp}}.

The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present in all | The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature present in all four ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]''. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They attack by swooping down and grabbing prey – just Pikmin in {{p2}}, but leaders as well in {{p3}}. After carrying the prey for a few seconds, they violently throw it toward the ground, which forces any Pikmin to be replanted and revert to its leaf [[Maturity|stage]]. Snitchbugs can be weighed down by [[throw]]ing many Pikmin (or at least one [[Purple Pikmin]] or [[Rock Pikmin]]) onto their body, causing them to crash to the ground and making them susceptible to attack. | ||

Many members of this family have the word "Snitchbug" in their name, which is a combination of "snitch" and "bug"; to "snitch" means "to catch", in this context. "Coppeller" is likely a combination of "Copter" and "Propeller", in reference to the creatures's helicopter-like wings. Their scientific names use the genus name ''Scarpanica'', which has no meaning, but reflects the family name. | The family's name may be derived from the verb "scarper" and the suffix "-id".
