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.
