The Skutterchuck is a small bipedal insectoid creature featured in Pikmin 3. They have a habit of picking up objects like Dweevils. However, this creature particularly picks up round crystalline stones to defend itself. If the player uses a Rock Pikmin to break the stone, it will scurry away.

The Skutterchuck has many insectoid features, such as 5-jointed hindlegs and a pair of antennea. It also has 2 yellow cephlapodean eyes. Its head appears to be concave, allowing it to hold the pebbles. If Pikmin continue to attack it after there are no more pebbles for it to pick up, it will thrust itself upward to launch the attacking Pikmin high into the air, causing them to lose their flowers. When it dies, it flips over and curls its legs in the same stereotypical fashion most insects die.

While it does not appear to be able to kill Pikmin on its own, be aware, the pebbles it can toss can crush non-Rock Pikmin or damage

the Captains. A single Rock Pikmin thrown onto it while it is unprotected is enough to kill it instantly.^[1] It needs three Pikmin to carry and is worth 5 pokos.
