The Desiccated Skitter Leaf looks like a brown, decaying leaf looking enemy that looks like a part of the ground if it is staying still. Unlike the Skitter Leaf, will attack Pikmin if they come too close. They can be killed easily by throwing a Pikmin directly on top of it, though another one is likely near by and will try to attack the thrown Pikmin. They will not attack Pikmin if they are in a medium group as they may be frightened and feel it is best to remain camouflaged. They are first found in the Distant Tundra, close to where Charlie crash landed. Their camouflage makes them stick out like a sore thumb, there are only 3 of them here. They're camouflage is way more sucessful in where you encounter them next. In Twilight River, when you rescue the pink onion there are 2 of them on the way. Twilight river's autumn theme makes them way harder to spot. However, Pikmin 3 ramps up the difficulty in Mission Mode's defeat enemies. They are in groups of 5-8 so throwing a pikmin gets about 2-3 of them to attack. They even put one behind a dirt wall in Shaded Garden.
