The '''Skitter Leaf''' is an [[Skitterling family|skitterling]] that resembles a green leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached by [[leader]]s, 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]].

__TOC__
{{notes|Olimar's notes|The skitter leaf is a relative of the pond skater that shed its wings and adapted to life on the ground. With no residual traits of its airborne past, the skitter leaf can neither fly nor skit across the surface of the water. The wings have since evolved into the leaflike structure on its back, which serves to hide the skitter leaf through mimicry. It appears quite effective, as few predators can see through this clever disguise.}}
{{notes|Louie's notes|The superb amalgamation of juicy meat and leafy greens ensures that the skitter leaf will be the new spinach!}}
{{notes|Alph's comments|Structural flaw: back. I'm in love with this camouflage job. It looks like an ordinary leaf fallen from a tree, and then wham! It starts to move and takes you by surprise. We could learn a lot from the way it uses protective coloration to blend in with its surroundings. I'm thinking of redesigning our space suits, or maybe even the S.S. Drake's hull.}}
{{notes|Brittany's comments|Not only do its body and limbs look like leaves—its beady little eyes remind me of fruit. I don't see the point of all that camouflage when they startle at every single thing that gets close.}}
{{notes|Charlie's comments|It's totally harmless, but sometimes there is a reason to defeat one. When that happens, the best we can do is to be merciful and land one solid strike on its back. Poor thing.}}

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 while emitting a series of cricket-like chirps.

The Skitter Leaf is encountered in Pikmin 251. The behavior of this creature has not changed from Pikmin 2.

Notes

Olimar's observations

The skitter leaf is not a threat to the Pikmin, but it can still be a real pain if it runs around and disturbs nearby creatures like Bulborbs. They're also really quick and hard to catch. If they were able to directly hurt my Pikmin, they would be a much stronger enemy. As they are, they're more of an inconvenience than anything.

Cookin' with Louie

The superb amalgamation of juicy meat and leafy greens ensures that the skitter leaf will be the new spinach!

In Pikmin V, the Skitter Leaf behaves a little differently. 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 begin running around like normal. To avoid this from happening, it must be whistled, which will stir it from its disguise.

Brittany's notes

Judging by fossil records, the Skitter Leaf originally evolved from an ancestor of the Skeeterskate in an area where a forest river became cut off, creating selective pressure leading to its leafy camouflage. However, the camouflage has proven so effective that the Skitter Leaf population exploded and became a cosmopolitan species in forests worldwide. Its diet of leaf litter has raised concerns about other lifeforms that live there, but so far, no proposed methods of controlling the population have proven effective.

Olimar's notes

It will give you a shake and a scare if you step on one, but it cannot cause actual harm. Scout fallen leaves by whistling, as that will rouse them out of their camouflage. If it's standing up, a direct hit to the back will instantly kill it.
