The Skitter Leaf is an enemy in Pikmin 2 that resembles a leaf. These creatures remain camouflaged on the ground until approached, 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, gives only one Pikmin seed/Poko; and because they cannot harm Pikmin.

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