In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Fireball Snitchbug is a new enemy appearing in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. The creature has the body composition of a Swooping Snitchbug, but its coloration is different. It has a black body with red stripes on its abdomen and red arms. It has white antennas, red eyes, and its hands look a little burnt; possibly due to constantly handling fire. The Fireball Snitchbug will fly around until it spots Pikmin. Once it does, it will spawn two fireballs in its hands. After flying around for a few seconds, it will swoop down and throw them at the group. The fireballs will explode into a pool of magma and flame; burning non-Red Pikmin who touch it. However, after this divebomb, it will take around 5 seconds for the Fireball Snitchbug to conjure up new fireballs. This is your chance to weigh it down to the ground for attack. You can use Winged Pikmin, as they are very effective at combat; but a Rock or Purple Pikmin can weigh down the creature instantly. Once the creature is weighed down, it will shake around for 3 seconds before bursting into flame and getting back up to shake off Red Pikmin still attached. The rest of the Pikmin attached when the flames erupted will be burned and get off no matter what.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Fireball Snitchbug is a scarpanid appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. It looks and behaves precisely as it does in Pikspore.

In Pikspore
Fireball Snitchbugs are nasty scarpanids that resemble black Swooping Snitchbugs with red hands and yellow eyes. When they see Pikmin or leaders, they will throw balls of fire at them, burning anything they hit except for Red Pikmin. They will often ride dweevils in a display of a symbiotic relationship, the dweevil acting as a fast mount for the Fireball Snitchbug, and the snitchbug acting as protection for the shy dweevil. Fireball Snitchbugs are an invasive species in some parts of PNF-404.
