The '''Desiccated Skitter Leaf''' is an enemy introduced in [[Pikmin 3]]. It is a hostile Skitterling, contrary to the harmless [[Skitter Leaf]]. It disguises itself as a withered leaf. It scuttles around with great speed, and can snatch a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with what appear to be claws and devour it within a split second. These creatures are usually found in the [[Twilight River]], as they are camouflaged almost flawlessly by the dirt and fallen leaves. In Mission Mode, they are found in larger groups, typically around 6-8 per group, posing more of a threat. It produces noises similar to those of a Skitter Leaf, but its sounds much more aggressive. Also like the other Skitterling, upon death, it slowly floats to the ground, and produces a soft noise. It is easy to carry, requiring one Pikmin, and unlike the Skitter Leaf, it is useful for Pikmin cultivation, producing three sprouts.
In ''[[Pikmin V]]'', the '''Desiccated Skitter Leaf''' has the same changes as a regular [[Skitter Leaf]], which makes it more dangerous. When disguised as a leaf, it cannot be locked onto or hurt in any way. If a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] steps on it, it will immediately flip up, knocking them over, and then chase them like normal to eat them when they are down. To avoid this happening, it must be whistled at, which will stir it from its disguise.

The Desiccated Skitter Leaf is a hostile skitterling that disguises itself as a withered leaf. When scared out of hiding, it scuttles around with great speed and can snatch a Pikmin with its claws and devour it within a split second. However, they are afraid of leaders, so if one gets close, whether accompanied by Pikmin or not, it will remain hidden; if a leader touches one that is hiding, it will break its disguise and run away in a panic, but may still try to eat Pikmin. Although agile, Desiccated Skitter Leaves are extremely frail and will die instantly if a Pikmin is thrown on top of one.

In Pikmin V, the Desiccated Skitter Leaf has the same changes as a regular Skitter Leaf, which makes it more dangerous. When disguised as a leaf, it cannot be locked onto or hurt in any way. If a leader or Pikmin steps on it, it will immediately flip up, knocking them over, and then chase them like normal to eat them when they are down. To avoid this happening, it must be whistled at, which will stir it from its disguise.

Notes

Brittany's notes

The Desiccated Skitter Leaf is the first of what I expect to be a series of trophic adaptations of Skitter Leaves post-globalization. It is perhaps the most natural, evolving from simple leaves to Pikmin, but it is still remarkable the speed at which it has specialized to its new prey. Its senses are highly tuned to react to Pikmin and only Pikmin, and its hind legs are capable of surprising speed on land and, for Blue Pikmin, in water.

Olimar's notes

This variant can eat Pikmin, but you can mostly treat it like you would a regular Skitter Leaf. Just be on the extra lookout for its disguise, as a successful flip of your Pikmin will most likely spell death for a couple of them.

Louie's notes

Filled with great flavor on its own, but the dead leaf appearance is rather unappealing to guests. It can be mixed with other greens or used creatively as an edible garnish.

Desiccated Skitterleaves appear in Pikmin: Infection in Progress, littered about Polluted Creek and Withering Terrace. A Desiccated Skitterleaf disguises as a dead leaf when idle to fool potential prey. When approached by Pikmin, however, a Desiccated Skitterleaf will quickly rise and begin its assault. They are afraid of the President and will retain their disguise until he touches them, causing them to flee in terror.

Desiccated Skitterleaves possess red eyes, and clawed appendages that serve as both camouflage and limbs to eat their prey. Desiccated Skitterleaves also possess a yellow fleshy abdomen on the underside of their main leaf.

When initiated into combat, Desiccated Skitterleaves tend to swipe at the nearest Pikmin to eat them first, and knocking away and depetaling others that it fails to grab. Larger targets, like the President, can not be eaten; instead, he is knocked down for a short time. The President can not assist in carrying the corpse of a deceased Desiccated Skitterleaf due to it being so light.
