Skitter Leaf

The Skitter Leaf is an skitterling that resembles a green leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached by leaders, at which time they attempt to flee with a cricket-like chirp. They are somewhat rare, usually located in very fresh places, such as near or in water or foliage, but they are not worth defeating or recovering. A dangerous relative of the Skitter Leaf is the Desiccated Skitter Leaf.

In Pikmin 2: New Year
The Skitterleaf appears in Pikmin 2: New Year. It has a darker appearance and green eyes, but exhibits the same behaviors.

In Pikmin Eco
The Skitter Leaf is a harmless, ground-dwelling insect that returns in Pikmin Eco. They strongly resemble leaves, and remain stationary, blending into nearby foliage. When Pikmin or leaders get close, they emerge and run away in panic.

In Pikmin: Redemption
In Pikmin: Redemption, Skitter Leafs can take a brief flight with their wing-like leaves, and their chirping alerts nearby enemies of the presence of leaders and Pikmin.
