In Pikmin: Wide World
The Satchel Snitchbug appears in Pikmin: Wide World as a cowardly, harmless scarpanid that frequently ingests usable items. It may be found secluded from other creatures, crawling slowly about a small territory on dry land, inching along the ground to move. A Satchel Snitchbug will avoid and move away from Pikmin, leaders, and other creatures that are close by. Visible within each Satchel Snitchbug's stomach may be a 1-pellet, the color of which depending on what main Pikmin types have been discovered, a blob of nectar, a Sparklium seed of any quality, a small fruit, or a spiderwort berry of any type.

Satchel Snitchbugs are medium-sized and possess an insectoid appearance typical of the scarpanid family. They are primarily green in color and have a small head with relatively large, oblong, red, compound eyes. Their stomach expands to accommodate its contents, becoming translucent in the process. Notably, they lack any form of limbs whatsoever, and so are forced to crawl along the ground to move.

Because of its slow speed and inability to defend itself in any capacity, a Satchel Snitchbug is entirely at the mercy of anything around it. They may be killed quickly and easily no matter the method used, but throwing a Rock Pikmin at one or throwing a Purple Pikmin directly on top of one will kill it instantly. Upon death, a Satchel Snitchbug will yield and spit up the contents of its stomach. Because it is never found aboveground, its body can be taken to the Lander Pod to either receive or be stored to later gain four seeds of a chosen discovered main Pikmin type of choice from the Master Onion, but only if the cave is exited using an escape geyser.
