The '''Bogswallow''' ({{j|ヌマススリ|Numa Susuri|Swamp Sipper}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It hides imperceptibly within pits of [[mud]], emerging when prey is nearby to inhale them. [[Oatchi]] is too heavy to be sucked in, and the player may be swallowed if they get too close. 

It is primarily encountered in ''Pikmin 4'''s final [[area]], the [[Primordial Thicket]], as well as [[The Mud Pit]] dungeon.

== Behavior ==
{{game help|p4|Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.}}
The Bogswallow hides under the mud until a captain, Oatchi, or the Pikmin comes close to the mud puddle or goes into the mud. It then comes out of the ground and starts vacuuming Pikmin. Once it has vacuumed a number of Pikmin, or if it vacuums for too long, it swallows whatever Pikmin it managed to vacuum and begins vacuuming again, or hides back under the mud if the Pikmin are out of range. If the Pikmin are too far out of range to begin with, they will just hide back under the mud.

{{game help|p4|Add a guide on how to beat it.}}
Charging a large amount of Winged Pikmin is usually the easiest and safest way to kill a Bogswallow. You can also throw a bomb rock at its mouth if it starts to vacuum up Pikmin, causing it to swallow the bomb and die instantly. However, the best way to deal with a Bogswallow is to use Ice Pikmin to freeze the muddy lake they reside. This makes them to be unable to come out of the mud and the ones that do will be frozen, making it easy to kill them.

Another good strategy is bait the creature with a single Purple Pikmin, as they are immune to its vacuuming effects. While it's attempting to suck it up, the player can toss a bomb rock into its mouth to instantly kill it.

== Notes ==
=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{transcript|It pops up out of the mud, often with no warning, to say hello. With a body like a hose and a big round mouth, it sates its appetite by feeding on the mud itself! Its six bright eyes mean it’s sure to see the fondness we have for it six times better! I hope it eats up all that unending affection!}}
===Olimar's Notes===
{{transcript|This species prefers to inhabit cloudy, stagnant water like that in swamps, and it spends most of its life buried in the mud and hiding.
Using its six eyelike sensory organs, it can detect minute movements in the water and vibrations on nearby land. It will then forcefully leap out of the water and suck up its prey to feed.
With its entirely cartilaginous skeleton and somewhat primitive features— like its round, chinless mouth— it appears to be some sort of primeval creature.}}
===Louie's Notes===
{{transcript|Leave it out overnight to drain the mud from the carcass. When ready to eat, cut into rings, then grill over high heat. The more you chew it, the more flavorful it becomes.}}
