A lot of Skitter Leafs hiding underwater.
A group of Skitter Leaves.

The Skitter Leaf is an enemy in Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 that resembles a leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached by Captains, 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 not worth defeating, and returning to the Onion/pod. This is because the leaf they leave upon death, while only requiring one Pikmin to carry, yields one Pikmin seed/Poko.

There are rare occasions where one will duck right when it loses all its health, thus dying right when a captain approaches it.

Pikmin 3

Skitter Leaves will appear in Pikmin 3 in a similar manner to previous games. As well, Unknown Enemy 7, which appears in the game, looks similar to the Skitter Leaf, except larger and of a brown colour, and seems to have the ability to eat Pikmin. It is currently unknown whether it is related to the Skitter Leaf.
