The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' | The '''Swooping Snitchbug''' is a creature found in both [[Pikmin (series)|Pikmin games]]. They are legless, round, flying insects that have evolved wing-like antennae as a means of locomotion. They swoop down, as their name suggests, and grabs their prey with their claws. After carrying them for a few seconds, they violently throw them towards the ground. This action would harm most prey, whereas [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-receptacle state. These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single [[Purple Pikmin]], rendering it susceptible to further attack. [[Ultra-bitter spray]]s may also be used to freeze it in mid-air, causing it to drop to the ground, which is arguably easier, but of course produces no corpse, and may be considered a waste of sprays. Occasionally in [[Pikmin 2]] in caves such as the [[Subterranean Complex]], a Swooping Snitchbug might accidentally throw a Pikmin into the abyss below, killing it. Should it throw a [[Yellow Pikmin]] that is holding a [[bomb-rock]], the bomb-rock will explode, killing the Yellow Pikmin and all Pikmin getting caught in the blast. | ||
The position of the Swooping Snitchbug in the [[Enemy Reel]], which is otherwise alphabetical, indicates that the creature's name may originally have started with "flying". | |||

''A member of the scarpanid family. Although originally a ground dweller, its oversized antennae developed into wings, allowing it to fly around freely. the snitchbug doesn't eat Pikmin, but rather picks them up, carries them away, and firmly replants them in another location.'' | |||
