The '''Skutterchuck''' ({{j|エボシトバシ|Eboshi Tobashi|Eboshi Launcher}}) is an insect-like | The '''Skutterchuck''' ({{j|エボシトバシ|Eboshi Tobashi|Eboshi Launcher}}) is an insect-like enemy first encountered in {{p3}}, and found again in {{p4}} and {{hp}}. The creature has a black wafer-like body with an orange underside. It has a habit of picking up certain objects (like [[crystal nodules]] and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]]), similar to [[Dweevil]]s. It uses its odd shape to scoop them up and carry them around, and also for throwing its load at an approaching enemy. | ||
In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is slightly smaller and is brown. It simply walks forward, and when it passes through [[Crystal#Crystal nest|certain crystal]]s, it will pick up a crystal nodule if it's not holding one already. It can also now crawl under and on the sides of platforms, as well as above. Because they can crawl on the ceiling, they drop their crystals rather than throwing them when the player or their Pikmin are nearby. | In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is slightly smaller and is brown.

If a Skutterchuck has no crystals to pick up, it will pick up and throw Pikmin into the air instead. If a Rock Pikmin is thrown at it and breaks its crystal, the Skutterchuck will quickly scurry away. | If a Skutterchuck has no crystals to pick up, it will pick up and throw Pikmin into the air instead.

Other Pikmin types can also be used to attack the underside of the creature. The Skutterchuck may shake them off and attempt to throw rocks onto them, but it rarely hits on time. This method takes a bit longer, and destroying all crystals with Rock Pikmin before killing the enemies leaves the Skutterchuck helpless. | Other Pikmin types can also be used to attack the underside of the creature.

It is possible to take advantage of the Skutterchuck's attack, as if the player positions a leader near another enemy, the Skutterchuck will throw its crystal at the leader, killing or damaging the other enemy in the process. Unlike other enemies that use weapons like the [[Careening Dirigibug]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Skutterchuck is not immune to the crystal nodules it throws, so this can be used to kill other Skutterchucks if they are in the area, or even the Skutterchuck that launched the nodule. | It is possible to take advantage of the Skutterchuck's attack, as if the player positions a leader near another enemy, the Skutterchuck will throw its crystal at the leader, killing or damaging the other enemy in the process.
