The '''Burrowing Snagret''' ({{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu|Snake Crow}}) is a [[boss]] in the {{pg}}. It appears to be a combination of a bird and a snake, and is a member of the [[Snavian family]]. It has low health for a boss, but it often appears in groups. It remains underground for the majority of the time, surfacing only when approached by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[leader]]. In the first two games, it has a chance of struggling to fully emerge for a few seconds before attacking. When above ground, it attempts to eat Pikmin one by one until it is sufficiently damaged, at which point it burrows back underground. In {{p3}} it can also stab its beak into the ground to eat a leader and then regurgitate them &ndash; if the attack misses, its beak will get stuck in the ground and its head will be vulnerable to attack. In {{p4}}, fledgling versions called [[Downy Snagret]]s can be found.
 
When killed in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], Burrowing Snagrets explode into 7 random 1 [[pellet]]s and a 5 pellet; in ''Pikmin 2'', a dead Burrowing Snagret leaves behind its head to be returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the Snagret's entire body comes out of the ground to be salvaged, revealing a foot much like the one on a [[Pileated Snagret]]. It does the same in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', though its body coils up once it dies, making it easier for the Pikmin to carry it, instead of having to drag the limp body behind its head.

==Locations==
 
In {{p1}}, 3 Burrowing Snagrets are found in the same area of [[The Forest of Hope]], one of which contains the [[Geiger Counter]]. One is also found in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], blocked by a white [[reinforced wall]].
 
In {{p2}}, a Burrowing Snagret is the main boss of the [[White Flower Garden]], found on sublevel 5 (this one contains the [[Five-man Napsack]]). Many are encountered throughout the [[Snagret Hole]], with one even near the entrance. On sublevel 3 of the Snagret Hole, one contains the [[Meat Satchel]] and another on sublevel 6 contains the [[Triple Sugar Threat]]. Another is on sublevel 4 of the [[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 {{p3}}, there is a Burrowing Snagret in the [[Twilight River]], holding the [[Insect Condo]]. There are also Burrowing Snagrets in [[Mission Mode]] levels, including [[Silver Lake]], [[Tropical Wilds Remix]], [[Garden of Hope Remix]] (which contains 4 of them), [[Twilight River Remix]], and [[Shaded Garden Remix]]. In the [[Side Stories]], 1 can be found in [[Looking for Louie]]. In [[Bingo Battle]], 1 can be found in layout C of [[Arid Metropolis]], and 2 can be found in layout B of [[Parched Brook]].
 
In {{p4}}, a Burrowing Snagret is present in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], where it holds the [[Brush of Wisdom]]. Another one is present in the same area in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], but in a different section and instead holding an [[Extraordinary Bolt]]. A group of three Burrowing Snagrets appear on sublevel 3 of the [[Cavern for a King]]. One of the Snagrets holds the [[Talisman of Life (Phoenix)]].

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{transcript|Instead of the sky, this scaly anomaly flies through the ground. When it pops its head to the surface, the way its crown of feathers fluffs—though intended to make it more intimidating—is delightful to behold. But be wary of lingering to gaze up at it, as you'll likely get the poking of a lifetime from that long, sharp beak!|block=y}}
 
=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|The majority of Snagret species lie in wait to ambush and capture prey, with a body type perfectly adapted to such sudden strikes. It violently attacks small, surface-dwelling insects.
 
Distributed across a relatively wide range, subspecies of Snagret suited to the varying soil conditions have emerged, making the Snagret the most geographically represented species besides the Bulborb.
 
Visually resembling the Burrowing Snagret is the Burrowing Snarrow, the range of which partially overlaps with the Snagret's range. While the two may appear similar, when pulled from the ground, they can be distinguished by the presence or absence of tail and wing markings.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|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.|block=y}}
 
{{transcript|Avoid the snagret's pecking beak by clustering your Pikmin around the back of the bird's neck. Group your Pikmin on top of the snagret as soon as it pokes its beak above the surface. That way, your Pikmin will be able to cling to the bird's upper limits where its beak can't reach.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Power Booklet description===
{{transcript|Snagrets usually hang out in groups of three, and their agile beaks are capable of plucking up devastating numbers of Pikmin. When attacked, they temporarily retreat underground.}}
 
===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|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.|block=y}}
 
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|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.
 
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.|block=y}}

==Strategy==
[[File:Two Burrowing Snagrets.jpg|thumb|Olimar fighting a pair of Burrowing Snagrets in [[The Forest of Hope]].]]
{{guide}}
===''Pikmin''===
In ''Pikmin'', they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if [[throw]]n at the head, as they have very high [[health]] and are quite large. Its striking speed will also allow it to eat some Pikmin and burrow back into the ground before any significant 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 it shakes them off to prevent them being eaten. Another effective, but risky way is to [[swarm]] the head in hopes of making the Burrowing Snagret retreat underground.
Try to run directly to the Snagret closest to the ledge on the side of the ship to avoid the other two Snagrets and collect the [[Geiger Counter]] more easily.
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
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 from the ground, getting stuck for some time. It is best to attack the Snagret then, as it is possible to defeat it without losing any Pikmin. With quick and 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 ''Pikmin 2'', attacks to the body will only cause 10% normal damage. Statistically, both in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'', every time the creature emerges it has a 40% chance of getting stuck.<ref>Local Parameter <code>{s10}</code> in <code>/dataDir/bosses/snake/parms.bin</code>, in ''Pikmin''</ref> That said, a Burrowing Snagret will never get stuck the first time of the day that it unburrows, in ''Pikmin''.
 
In the first two 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]].
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
In ''Pikmin 3'', the health is even lower, and [[Winged Pikmin]] can be [[charge]]d directly onto its head to defeat it quickly, especially under the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]]. The boss can only eat Pikmin on the ground. It is helpful to stay away from its beak, as if it eats a leader, it can take a while to get all your Pikmin back into your squad.
 
It is not possible to defeat the Burrowing Snagret with [[leader]]s alone.
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
In ''Pikmin 4'', it has the same health as in ''Pikmin 3'', but comes out of the ground much slower. The Snagrets head will take a moment to shake its head a bit and then it will come out of the ground. An easy way to beat it is to simply use [[Oatchi]] to rush and attach all of your Pikmin on its head to deal massive damage (if you don't want to use Oatchi or can't, then you can [[charge]] instead). This will either kill it immediately or cause it to immediately retreat underground. Without Oatchi, the Snagret can be beaten the same way as it would be in ''Pikmin 3''.
 
==Burrowing Snarrow==
{{main|Snavian family#Burrowing Snarrow|t1=Burrowing Snarrow}}
The Burrowing Snarrow is a creature that is referred to by Olimar, but never seen in any of the games or other media. The first of these mentions is in the [[enemy reel]] at the end of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], while the latest mention is in [[Burrowing Snagret#Olimar's notes (Pikmin 4)|Olimar's notes on the Burrowing Snagret]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''{{'s}} [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]].
 
==In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
The Burrowing Snagret appears as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Assist Trophy===
The Burrowing Snagret appears in {{ssbu}} as an Assist Trophy, in its ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' design. When summoned, it will emerge from the floor (even go-through platforms) near an opponent, and will idle for a second before unleashing three quick stabs towards the opponent. It can peck at the ground or the air. It will then bury back down and reemerge elsewhere, repeating the process. Like other Assist Trophies, it can be KO'd if it takes enough damage. It makes the Burrowing Snagret death sound from ''Pikmin'' when it emerges, and also when it is KO'd.{{cite youtube|AFHgO8rMzcg?|of Olimar's introduction to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', demonstrating the Snagret Assist Trophy|s=10}}
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Spirit===
The Burrowing Snagret also appears in {{ssbu}} as a Primary Spirit. It can be obtained by fighting a Charizard in the Spirit Board, buying it from the Shop or by being Summoned. It lowers the fighter's speed.

===''Pikmin 2''===
The '''Burrowing Snagret''' is an enemy in the Pikmin games. They are a splinch of birds and snakes, and are called Snavians (snake and avian, avian means it is bird related). They hide in the ground and burrow out when you approach. Sometimes the time it takes to get out is different, and when it takes longer, you are able to attack its head easily. When it comes out, it will try to eat a maximum of 3 Pikmin, unless you are able to finish it off. In Pikmin 1, they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if you threw them at the head, as they have very high health, and they are larger in size. HOWEVER, they do not relocate when they bury themselves, meaning you could swarm your pikmin over where it last appeared and the Snagret would be dead in a matter of seconds, which can be seen in the Pikmin SpeedRun. When you killed them, they exploded into many pellets. In Pikmin 2, you can now easily kill it after it burrows out as it has much lower health. In Pikmin 2, it would be good to use [[Purple Pikmin]]. You can now pick up the head.

===''Pikmin 3''===
In Pikmin 1, they were found only in [[The Forest of Hope]], and in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1)]] at [[The Final Trial]]. In Pikmin 2, one can be found on Sublevel 5 in the [[White Flower Garden]] while many of them can also be found at the [[Snagret Hole]], one is even guarding the entrance! One can also be found in Sublevel 4 of [[Hole of Heroes]], along with a [[Pileated Snagret]]. Burrowing Snagrets are the most common boss-class enemies in Pikmin 2, as they are found eight times, outside of Challenge Mode.

==Trivia==
== Olimar's Notes ==
*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. This most likely originates from its [[Pikipedia:Japanese#Japanese names and common names|Japanese name]] which means "White-tailed snake crow".
The majority of Snagret species lies in wait to ambush and capture prey, with a

surface-dwelling insects. Distributed across a relatively wide range,
**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 its full body, or at least its tail. ''Pikmin 3'' further confuses the matter by showing that the Snarget has no tail, as seen by defeating it.
subspecies of Snagret suited to the varying soil conditions have emerged,
**The ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' trophy erroneously omits ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' from the list of games. The ''Pikmin'' trophies in ''Smash 4'' always list the first two games, except for this one. In addition, the Snagret is more common in ''Pikmin 2'' compared to ''Pikmin 3'', especially considering it appears the most in the second game's story mode, and only once in the third game's. This makes the ''Pikmin 2'' omission a mystery.

or absences of tail and wing markings.
**This mistake is not present in the Japanese [[Region|version]], where the method given for distinguishing the Burrowing Snagret from the Burrowing Snarrow is the same that would later be described in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]].
== Louie's Notes ==
*In ''Pikmin'', internally there are actually two different Burrowing Snagret bosses. Both variants are used and are nearly identical, with the only difference between the two are that the collision area that causes them to rise from the ground is a different shape, with one having a spherical fight area, while the other has a box-shaped fight area.
Slice the serpentine torso into thin medallions, skewer on a metal rod with Hocotate onions, and barbeque over an open flame.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', this enemy and the [[Pileated Snagret]] shake the least when damaged, meaning their model stretches the least amount of all enemies.
*It is the only boss that appears in every mainline ''Pikmin'' game.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', when the creature dies, its body shrinks while the head remains the same size. With the closest [[camera|zoom]] settings, it is possible to see its small body in-game. The same happens with the [[Pileated Snagret]], [[Toady Bloyster]], and [[Ranging Bloyster]].
*The Burrowing Snagret lays eggs, as seen in ''Pikmin 4'' where Downy Snagrets can be found inside nectar eggs, and to a lesser extent, the nest on sublevel 5 of the White Flower Garden, and the eggs found there.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', The Burrowing Snagret's full eating animation can't ever be seen properly in the Piklopedia, due to the carrots exploding and disappearing instantly upon being pecked by the Snagret.
