The '''Burrowing Snagret''' ({{j|ヘビガラス| | The '''Burrowing Snagret''' ({{j|ヘビガラス|Hebigarasu|Grass Snake}}) is an enemy in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and the [[Enemy#Boss|boss]] of [[White Flower Garden]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It appears to be a combination of a bird and a snake, and a member of the Snavian family (Snavian being a combination of the words ''snake'' and ''avian'', avian meaning "bird-related"). They remain underground for the majority of the time, surfacing only when approached by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[Leader|Captain]]. Every few times it emerges, the beast gets stuck with only its head above ground for a while, giving a captain an opportunity to attack without fear of losing any Pikmin. When above ground, it attempts to eat Pikmin one by one until it is sufficiently damaged, at which point it burrows back underground. | ||

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Burrowing Snagret has undergone appearance changes to be represented in HD. Its scales and head feathers are larger and more defined. It can also shed these feathers during battle, although this is just aethstetic. After it is defeated, its entire body will come out from the ground, revealing it has a foot. Unlike the previous games, the Burrowing Snagret only appears once in the Story Mode, and it never respawns. If left unsalvaged, its body will not be there the next day, unlike the major bosses. It drops the only [[Insect Condo]] in the story. | |||

Their only locations in the first game are [[The Forest of Hope]] where 3 appear in the same area, and [[The Final Trial]] on [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', a Burrowing Snagret is the boss of [[White Flower Garden]], found on [[sublevel]] 5 (this one contains the [[Five-man Napsack]]), and many are encountered throughout [[Snagret Hole]]; one is even guarding the entrance in [[Awakening Wood]], where the three in ''Pikmin'' are located. Another is on sublevel 4 of [[Hole of Heroes]], and yet another guards the [[Pink Menace]] in the [[Valley of Repose]]. Burrowing Snagrets are the most common boss-class enemies in ''Pikmin 2'', having eight different in-game occurrences outside of [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', Burrowing Snagrets are known to live in the [[Twilight River]]. There are also Burrowing Snagrets in [[Mission Mode]] levels including [[Silver Lake]], [[Tropical Wilds Remix]], [[Garden of Hope Remix]], [[Twilight River Remix]], and [[Shaded Garden Remix]]. There are four of them located in Garden of Hope Remix. | |||

''"The Burrowing Snagret's weak spot is its head. Toss Pikmin at the bird-snake's skull as it's emerging from the ground, and let them go to work on the beast. Call them before they're shaken off and prepare for another assault."'' | |||
===''Pikmin ''Player's Guide=== | |||
''"The white-headed snagret is a subterranean dweller characterized by a birdlike head and a snakelike body. Its avian head features white plumage and a long, pointed beak, which it uses for digging, while its reptilian body is covered with blue scales. White-headed snagrets burrow in flocks and they will rear their heads when surface vibrations alert them to possible prey above ground. The blueish hue of its feathers distinguishes it from the burrowing snarrow."'' | |||

''"A member of the snavian family with a birdlike head and a snakelike neck and body. An underground dweller, the snagret makes sudden strikes aboveground to capture surface-dwelling prey. It uses its beak to scoop up daily nutrition and can snatch up three Pikmin at once--a relatively small amount made deadly by its strike speed. No one has ever seen its tail."'' | |||

''"As its name implies, the Burrowing Snagret spends most of its time underground. When it senses potential prey, however, this creature emerges and uses its powerful beak to snatch up any victims in range. The Burrowing Snagret's body it protected by scales, making the creature's head its only weak point.'' | |||
Each time a Burrowing Snagret emerges from the ground, there's a brief pause just after the creature's beak appears -- this brief window is the only opportunity you'll have to execute a successful charge. If your Pikmin can latch onto the creature's head before it's fully exposed, they'll be able to do a significant amount of damage in a very short time. Winged Pikmin can charge the Burrowing Snagret's head whenever it's above ground, but you'll need a large squad to compensate for the Winged Pikmin's low attack power. | ''Each time a Burrowing Snagret emerges from the ground, there's a brief pause just after the creature's beak appears -- this brief window is the only opportunity you'll have to execute a successful charge.

If you can't seem to land a successful charge attack, flank the Burrowing Snagret's side and toss your Pikmin directly onto the creature's head. This method makes it fairly difficult to keep your squad out of harm's way, but it does allow you to deal reliable damage for the duration of the battle. | ''If you can't seem to land a successful charge attack, flank the Burrowing Snagret's side and toss your Pikmin directly onto the creature's head.

In ''Pikmin'', they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if [[throw]]n at the head, as they have very high [[HP|health]] and are larger than in the second game. Its striking speed will also allow it to eat some Pikmin and burrow back into the ground before any real damage is done. When trying to defeat it in the first game, the best strategy is to throw Red Pikmin at its head while it's emerging from the ground as fast as you can, then whistling in your Pikmin right before he shakes them off to prevent them being eaten. Another effective, but risky way is to [[Group move|swarm]] the head in hopes of making the Burrowing Snagret retreat underground. In ''Pikmin 2'', defeating one is an easier task because of its lower health; even so, it remains a good idea to use [[Purple Pikmin]]. | |||

It is easy to take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the beast will not fully emerge, getting stuck for some time. It is best to attack the Snagret then, and Olimar should kill it without losing any Pikmin. With quick, accurate throwing, however, this is not necessary to secure the battle. Throw many Pikmin at its head as soon as possible and the Snagret should die before managing to swallow any of the Pikmin that it may have snatched up from the ground. | |||
In both games, if it burrows back underground without swallowing Pikmin it has caught, these Pikmin will die. In the first game, it was the root of many [[Glitches in Pikmin#Counter glitch|glitches involving the counter]]. | |||
It is not possible to defeat the Burrowing Snagret with [[captain|captains]] alone. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The Burrowing Snagret can be seen in a pre-release [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x245evHAhQ video] of ''Pikmin'', where it appears to have a light or white body. | |||
[[image:00.PNG|thumb|200px|The prototype Snagret.]] | |||
*The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' trophy states that no one has ever seen a Burrowing Snagret's tail before. However, Olimar states in the Piklopedia that the Burrowing Snagret and Snarrow can both be distinguished by the markings on their tails, implying that Olimar has seen it full body, or at least its tail. | |||
*The Burrowing Snagret is the most commonly fought boss in all 3 games, as it can be fought 4 times in the first game, 11 times in the second game, and 7 times in the third game. | |||
*In-game sources disagree on whether the creature's body is lined with feathers or scales: the Enemy Reel states they are feathers, while [[Olimar's Voyage Log]] call them scales. [[Louie's Notes]] refer to the creature's 'serpentine torso', also implying they are scales. | |||
*The name of the Snagret seems to be a combination of the words "snake" or "snag,", which means "to catch," and "egret," a kind of bird resembling the Snagret. | |||
*In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Burrowing Snagret is revealed to have a foot, similar to the [[Pileated Snagret]]. | |||
* Only 1 is encountered in [[Pikmin 3]]'s story mode, but it's encountered 3 different times in [[Mission Mode]]. | |||
*Despite being the 2nd most encountered mid boss in [[Pikmin 3]]'s [[Mission Mode]], it's fought 6 times, once at [[Silver Lake]], once at [[Twilight River Remix]] and 4 times in [[Garden of Hope Remix]]. | |||
