Scientific name: ''Gerridus terraprojecta''
The Muckerskate is an variant of the Skeeterskate in {{p4}}. Rather than skate across water, it instead is found exclusively in [[mud]] hazards. It will draw and project mud onto your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] squad, which instantly buries any that are hit. Like Skeeterskates, they can be defeated with a single Pikmin throw onto its head.

Scientific name: ''Gerridus clavomacula''
The Skeeterskate is an enemy in {{p3}} and {{p4}}, it is found exclusively in water. It draws water into a tank on its head, which it then can use to launch water projectiles onto the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] squad. As such, it can be more dangerous to [[Winged Pikmin]] and Pikmin near the shore. Like [[Dwarf Bulborb]]s, it can be defeated with a Pikmin thrown onto its head.
