'''Skitter Leaves''' ({{j|ハンボ|Hanbo|Leaf Pond Skater}}) are [[enemy|enemies]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' that resemble a leaves. 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 [[carry]], yields only a single [[Pikmin family|Pikmin seed]] or one [[Poko]].

The wings have since evolved into the leaflike structure on its back, which serves to hide the Skitter Leaf through mimicry. It appears quite effective, as few predators can see through this clever disguise.|block=y}}

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 can no longer remove flowers or buds from Pikmin.

===''Pikmin 4''===
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 can knock Oatchi down with its flip but its susceptible to his rush attack, allowing for easy defeats. Since it is encountered mostly early game, using a Pikmin with a regular throw height will deal with it quickly as opposed to Yellow Pikmin being thrown higher.
