The Skutterchuck is an insect-like enemy first encountered in Pikmin 3. The creature has a black wafer-like body with an orange underside. They have a habit of picking up objects similar to Dweevils. It uses its odd shape to scoop up and carry around Crystal Nodules, and also for throwing the load at an approaching enemy.
Behavior
The Skutterchuck is mainly passive, but when a captain or group of Pikmin gets close, it will try to attack. They attack by picking up and throwing Crystal Nodules at their targets. They will also use they crystals as cover when being attacked, with the only Pikmin who can break through being Rock Pikmin. When not attacking, Skutterchucks wander around in a small area, searching for nearby Crystal Nodules and picking them up if they have none, or fold in their thin legs and lie dormant on the ground with their crystal as protection and camouflage.
If a Skutterchuck has no crystals to pick up, it will pick up and throw Pikmin into the air instead. As wellm if a Rock Pikmin is thrown at it and breaks it's crystal, the Skutterchuck will quickly scurry away.
Strategy
A single Rock Pikmin is enough to destroy the crystal if it is thrown onto it. Another thrown directly afterward onto the now naked Skutterchuck will kill it in one hit.
Other Pikmin types can also be used to attack the underside of the creature. The Skutterchuck may shake them off and attempt to throw rocks onto them, but it rarely hits on time. This method takes a bit longer, and destroying all crystals with Rock Pikmin before killing the enemies leaves the Skutterchucks helpless.
It is possible to take advantage of the Skutterchuck's attack, as if the player positions a captain near another enemy, the Skutterchuck will throw it's crystal at the captain, killing or damaging the other enemy in the process.
Trivia
- It is possible to make a Skutterchuck kill itself if its rock lands back on the Skutterchuck. This can be done by positioning a captain right next to it during the attack.
- If all Crystal Nodules in an area are destroyed, the Skutterchucks in that area will not respawn.
