The '''Bumbling Snitchbug''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(トテツチホカシ)</span> is a creature found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It closely resembles the [[Swooping Snitchbug]] in appearance, though it possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small terrestrial creatures, but instead of targeting [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] specifically, this lumbering bug attacks [[Leader|Captains]], snatching them up and tossing them to the ground. Captains that the enemy has managed to take hold of are able to free themselves if the analog stick is twirled (which is similar to a Jellyfloat sucking a leader up), or if they have a second pilot throw [[Yellow Pikmin]] to combat the Snitchbug.

Weighing the beast down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it can easily be overwhelmed by the player's Pikmin forces. When carrying a captain, the Bumbling Snitchbug flies higher than usual. The creature is only harmful in areas with many enemies, where one might catch the player off guard, allowing for the disbanded Pikmin to be eaten. This, however, can easily be prevented by switching to the other captain and calling the Pikmin to resume battle. If the Snitchbug manages to capture both captains, then the player is in a tough spot, and must break free quickly, or have idle Pikmin suffer.

''"One of the two types of Snitchbugs, the Bumbling variety focuses on capturing your pilots. If it manages to hold on, eventually it will throw its victim (or victims) to the ground and cause serious damage. Shake free using the Control Stick and A Button, or switch control to the other pilot and attack with Pikmin."''

==Trivia==
 
*The Bumbling Snitchbug is one of the only enemies who can only harm a Captain.
{{Harmless enemies}}
*The Bumbling Snitchbug's design could possibly a reference to stereotypical Japanese cat burglars. The hands look like gloves and the abdomen resembles the typical green bag the burglars always carry around.
*Along with Swooping Snitchbugs, idle Bumbling Snitchbugs rub their hands together. This is similar to flies.
*The Bumbling Snitchbug was created due to programming limitations in the gamecube's hardware preventing the developers from giving the ability to also pick up leaders to the Swooping Snitchbug. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the hardware of the Wii U allowed for the Swooping Snitchbug to be able to attack both Pikmin and leaders, resulting in the Bumbling Snitchbug not making a reappearance in the game.

The Bumbling Snitchbug is a creature found in Pikmin 2. It closely resembles the Swooping Snitchbug in appearance, though possesses more body mass, makes a different buzzing sound, and does not have as distinct a head. The two also behave similarly towards small grounded creatures, but instead of targeting Pikmin specifically, this lumbering bug prefers to attack Captains, snatching them and tossing them to the ground. Captains that the enemy has managed to take hold of will dismiss their army, but are able to struggle to free themselves if Stick / the Control Stick on the Nunchuk is twirled, or have a second pilot throw Yellow Pikmin to combat the Snitchbug. Weighing the beast down will cause it to crash into the ground, where it is easily overwhelmed by the player's Pikmin forces.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This is a variety of snitchbug. Its most interesting characteristic is that it likes to snitch leaders. Yet barring wanton carelessness or incompetence, leaders are not easily captured. Any leader caught by this creature is clearly an idiot, which is why this creature is also known as the exposing snitchbug. There are several known varieties of snitchbugs, but research has stagnated despite it being such an interesting species.”

Louie's notes

“Remove the wings and discard the remainder of the beast. Enjoy the luxurious, wafer-thin wings with fine water-dumple caviar.”
