|name = Rus ???}}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 camoflaged almost flawlessly by the dirt and fallen leaves. 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.

==Notes==

''"It may look like a leaf, but this critter is just using camouflage to trick its prey."''

===Pikmin 3 Prima Guide===

''"Like the standard Skitter Leaf, the Desiccated Skitter Leaf uses its leaf-shaped body to blend into the environment. However, this enemy not only utilizes much better camouflage, it uses its spiked forelegs to slice through any Pikmin it manages to capture.''

''When you spot a Desiccated Skitter Leaf, toss a sing Pikmin on its back to defeat the creature before it manages to attack. Each time you reach a patch of brown leaves, take a moment to search for any enemies that may be hiding within it."''

==Battle Strategy==

Although they are agile, Desiccated Skitter Leaves are extremely frail, and will die instantly if a Pikmin is thrown on top of one.
