The '''Skitter Leaf''' ({{j|ハンボ|Hanbo|Leaf Pond Skater}}) is an [[enemy]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' that resembles a leaf. Skitter Leaves 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. This is because the leaf they leave upon death, while only requiring one Pikmin to [[carry]], yields only a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin seed]] or one [[Poko]].

==Biology==
The Skitter Leaf, when it is hiding, looks like a small leaf on the ground, making it seem like it's part of the scenery. When approached, however, it will leap up, revealing feet with a similar pattern to the leaf on its back, and bulgy red eyes. What the stem would be on a leaf is actually the Skitter Leaf's mouth, and due to its small, tube-like appearance, one can conclude that the Skitter Leaf mainly feeds on plant juices. The main "leaf" acts as a cape, which the Skitter Leaf uses to fend itself from predation by flipping in the air and whipping it around. Upon flipping, the creature will also reveal a rounded, yellow abdomen.

===Dalmo's Notes===
{{transcript|In both its vibrant spring color and precise shape, this cunning crawler looks just like a leaf! It's the perfect camouflage! It only becomes an issue when this sometimes careless critter forgets to look for a hiding place with an abundance of other green leaves lying around. Then it becomes quite easy to spot!|block=y}}

===Olimar's Notes (Pikmin 4)===
{{transcript| 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.|block=y}}

===Louie's Notes (Pikmin 4)===
{{transcript|The superb amalgamation of juicy meat and leafy greens ensures that the Skitter Leaf will be the new spinach!|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's guide===
{{transcript|They look like leaves, but they're critters. You can swarm Skitter Leafs or hit them with air attacks and defeat them with ease. In one Challenge-mode arena, you'll defeat Skitter Leafs to earn point-producing treasure.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Skitter Leaf is a harmless creature that uses its leaf-shaped body to blend into the environment. When threatened, a Skitter Leaf jumps out of hiding and attempts to flee from its attackers. You can simply ignore these enemies, but they can prove useful when Pikmin cultivation is a priority. To defeat a Skitter Leaf, simply toss a single Pikmin onto its back.|block=y}}

'''Text'''
{{transcript|
青々とした広葉樹の葉に擬態した、アメンボの一種。外敵からの捕食を避けるため、葉っぱのふりをしている。水に浮くことはできないが、体をくねらせて上手に泳ぐことができる。

特徴 その1 擬態する
:木の葉のふりをして、 その下に体を隠し外敵から身を守っている。柄のような口吻で、大地のエキスを吸う。

特徴 その2 羽の名残
:葉っぱに見える部位は羽が変化したもので、その名残から動いたときに鈴のような音が嗚る。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
A kind of pond skater that mimics the leaves of lush broadleaf trees. It pretends to be a leaf to avoid predation from enemies. Although it cannot float in water, it can swim well by twisting its body.

Feature #1: Mimicry
:Pretending to be a leaf, it hides its body underneath to protect itself from enemies. It uses its stalk-like proboscis to suck nectar.

Feature #2: Remnants of wings
:The part of the body that looks like a leaf was originally a pair of wings, the remnants of which make a bell-like sound when it moves.
:(Image text: "There are blue spots on the body hidden by the wings")

==Strategy==
===''Pikmin 2''===
Swarm it with Pikmin, or toss one directly onto its back; [[Purple Pikmin]] work especially well for the latter method, as they will home in on the Skitter Leaf. It has low [[Health|vitality]] and can also be easily defeated by leaders. Leaders can be harmed by it, and it will shake any attacking Pikmin off when given the chance, which usually knocks off their [[Maturity|flowers or buds]]. This enemy cannot be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] when it hides as a leaf, but it can when it is up and active.

===''Pikmin 3''===
The creature is much harder to defeat with leaders and reacts quicker to assaults, but remains easy to defeat with one shot on the back. [[Winged Pikmin]] are the only Pikmin somewhat ineffective against it, unless they are tossed directly onto its back while resting.

==Trivia==
*The Skitter Leaf resembles a [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Magnolia_acuminata_leaves_01_by_Line1.jpg magnolia acuminata]'s leaves.
*In both ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Skitter Leaf moves very slowly in water, and its animation resembles it attempting to swim.
*In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', it's possible for both Oatchi and a Pikmin to carry the same Skitter Leaf body.
*Occasionally, when a Skitter Leaf disguises itself right as it loses all of its [[health]], it won't die until being disturbed again.{{Source needed}}
