The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 3. |
The Swooping Snitchbug is a creature found in all three 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 grab 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 are simply replanted and reverted to their original leaf-receptacle state. They are also able to pick up the Captains in Pikmin 3 much the way Bumbling Snitchbugs do in Pikmin 2.
These creatures will plummet to the ground if weighed down by a sufficient number of Pikmin, or with a single Purple Pikmin in Pikmin 2, or a single Rock Pikmin in Pikmin 3, rendering it susceptible to further attack. Ultra-Bitter Sprays 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. Should the enemy 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. In Pikmin, it can and will grab Pikmin from the leader's hand, if he's holding on to it before throwing, but in Pikmin 2, it will ignore any held Pikmin; it can still steal it from the hand if it is swooping, however. In Pikmin 3, it will attempt to swoop at held Pikmin, but it will never succeed in grabbing them, though it might instead grab the leader in the process.
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. The position of the Swooping Snitchbug in the Enemy reel, which is otherwise alphabetized, indicates that the creature's name may originally have started with "flying".

Brawl Trophy Description
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.
