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

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. | 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.

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. | 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.

There are rare occasions where one will duck right when it loses all its [[health]], rendering it unable to die until a [[leader]] approaches it. | |||

The creature being called a leaf is a clear reference to its leaf shape allowing it to blend with the environment. In Japan, its name is {{j|ハンボ|Hanbo}}. Its scientific name is ''Rus pseudoarbicans'', which has a completely unknown meaning, besides the Greek word "pseudo" in it, which means "fake", likely alluding at how it is a fake leaf. Internally, its name in ''Pikmin 2'' is <code>sokkuri</code>, which is an onomatopoeia for "looks like", once more referring to how it mimics a leaf. Its internal name in the next game is <code>hambo</code>, which is the same as its Japanese name when Romanized, but with an 'm' instead of an 'n'. | |||
