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.

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, if it vacuums for too long, or if it vacuums an item like a bomb rock; it swallows whatever Pikmin or item 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. When defeated, its body floats a little letting Winged Pikmin carry it.

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.
