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. In {{p4}}, fledgling versions called [[Downy Snagret]]s can be found.
The '''Burrowing Snagret''' ({{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu|Crow 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]]. Every few times it emerges, the beast gets stuck with only its head above ground for a while, giving a leader 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.


== Stats ==
When killed in [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], Burrowing Snagrets explode into many [[pellet]]s; in ''Pikmin 2'', a dead Burrowing Snagret leaves behind its head to be returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]].

{{todo|Find out how many Pikmin the Burrowing Snagret is able to have in its beak during one attack in ''Pikmin 4''.}}
When idle, the Burrowing Snagret will stay hidden underground; only emerging once [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[leader]] enters its territory. Once Pikmin or a leader enter its territory, it will emerge from the ground and will begin to attack. In {{p1}} and {{p2}}, Snagrets usually emerge from the ground extremely quickly, although they infrequently get stuck in the ground. This significantly stalls their accents, which leaves their heads wide open to Pikmin attacks, especially to [[swarm]]ing in ''Pikmin''. In {{p3}} and {{p4}}, they will always struggle to unburrow themselves. It does this by first emerging and then shaking its head, before fully appearing. If the leader and/or Pikmin leave its territory, it will burrow itself back into the ground until its territory is once again approached. If the leader or Pikmin are in its territory, but far away enough that it cannot attack, it will stay above ground and keep watch.


The Burrowing Snagret's main method of attack is to quickly peck nearby Pikmin and grab them. It will attack any Pikmin its beak can reach, giving the creature a deceptively large range of attack. Once Pikmin are caught in its beak, it will swallow them soon after. However, Snagrets prefer to grab other currently reachable Pikmin before doing so, allowing it to only swallow after multiple consecutive pecks. In the first two games, the Snagret is able to grab 3 Pikmin in its beak before having to swallow. In ''Pikmin 3'', the Snagret will be able to grab 5 Pikmin before swallowing. In ''Pikmin 4'', the Snagret will attack 3-4 Pikmin before it stops to swallow; although it will peck at the ground 5 times. Whilst it gets attacked in {{p1}} and {{p2}}, it rocks its head back and forth. In ''Pikmin'', the amount of rocks it does depends on how many Pikmin are attacking it. In ''Pikmin 2'', it will always be four rocks in a row, followed by an attack if any Pikmin are in range.  In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', it gains an additional attack. This attack has the Snagret stab its beak into the ground to attack the leader. If the leader is caught, the Snagret will swallow them, damage them slightly, and then regurgitate them; although if it misses, it will slam its beak into the ground, leaving itself immobile for a few seconds. If enough Pikmin are attacking its head, it will shake off all attackers before quickly burrowing itself back into the ground. In ''Pikmin'', if a Snagret has Pikmin in its beak and is receiving heavy damage, it will sometimes re-burrow itself without swallowing, killing the ensnared Pikmin in the process. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', once a Burrowing Snagret receives enough damage, it begins to lose the feathers off of its head, until it becomes wholly featherless.
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.


In ''Pikmin'', Burrowing Snagrets can be harmed by [[bomb rock]]s. They can also be damaged by eating bomb rocks being held by [[Yellow Pikmin]], in the same as it eats any other Pikmin; although bomb rock explosions deal minuscule damage. In ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4'', they are only capable of eating one bomb rock at a time, which takes out a third of its health. Additionally, they only grab the bomb rock, leaving whoever was holding it unscathed. Once the bomb rock is eaten, its stomach expands due to the explosion before it quickly burrows itself back into the ground. This is also the case for [[mine]]s and [[trackonator]]s.
==Locations==
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 has had a different death animation in each game. In ''Pikmin'', it will scream into the sky before falling onto the floor in the direction it was facing. Its body will then lightly, and harmlessly, explode. It leaves a trail of dust and feathers, starting from its head and leading to the end of its exposed torso. In its place, there will be a randomly colored five-pellet where its head was, and seven randomly colored one-pellets where its torso once was. However, the last one-pellet, created by the explosion of the last exposed section of the Snagret's body, will instead be the [[Geiger Counter]]. This is the case for the Snagret holding the [[ship part]] in [[The Forest of Hope]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', the Snagret goes limp the same way as it does in ''Pikmin'', however the explosion is more violent (though still ultimately harmless) and is limited to its torso. The explosion now starts at the bottom of its torso and ends at the head. The explosion's force causes the Snagret's head to briefly go airborne, before crashing back down to the ground as a collectable corpse. While exploding, the Snagret's scales, and in the case of its top body segment - a mess of feathers, fly out of the exploding creature before quickly disappearing. In addition, the scream it does in ''Pikmin 2'' echoes far more compared to its scream in ''Pikmin'', making it appear louder. In ''Pikmin 3'', the Snagret will jump out of the ground and scream, revealing a single avian leg, before falling to the floor; leaving its whole body behind as a corpse, which Pikmin drag by the head. The same behavior happens in ''Pikmin 4'', except its body now coils up after it jumps out of the ground instead of lying straight, allowing the Pikmin to more easily carry it.

===Nintendo Player's Guide===
''"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."''


== Locations ==
===''Pikmin ''Player's Guide===
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]].
''"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."''


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]].
===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
''"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.''


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]].
''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.''


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)]].
''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."''

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 it 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]].


=== ''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.

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.

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 Burrowing Snagret can be defeated in a matter of seconds by charging at it with 100 Winged Pikmin under the effects of an [[ultra-spicy spray]]. This works because the Snagret will only catch grounded Pikmin, and since the Winged Pikmin can fly, they can both dodge its beak, and aim straight for the head &ndash; its weak point.
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.

==Burrowing Snarrow==
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''.

{{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.

==Technical information==
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.

=== ''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.

== Naming ==
This boss is named "burrowing" due to its habit of burrowing and remaining underground until prey approach. Although the [[Pileated Snagret]] also burrows, it is a less important characteristic. "Snagret" seems to be a combination of the words "snake" or "snag", which means "to catch", and "[[wikipedia:Egret|egret]]", a kind of bird resembling the Snagret. In Japanese, the creature is called {{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu}}, meaning "Crow Snake"; this is because of the enemy itself being a combination of a snake and a bird &ndash; likely a crow. Its scientific name is ''shiropedes anacondii''. The first part contains the word ''pedes'', which means "foot", but the origin of ''shiro'' is unknown; {{j|しろ|shiro}} does mean "white" in Japanese, however. ''Anacondii'' is similar to "[[wikipedia:Anaconda|anaconda]]", a dangerous type of constricting snake. The internal name in ''Pikmin'' is quite straightforward &ndash; <code>snake</code> &ndash; and in ''Pikmin 2'', it is the same as its translated Japanese name, <code>snakecrow</code>.

{{naming
|common    = Burrowing Snagret. "Burrowing" refers to its habit of burrowing and remaining underground until prey approach. Although the [[Pileated Snagret]] also burrows, it is a less important characteristic. "Snagret" is a portmanteau of either "snake" or "snag" and "{{w|egret}}".
|jpcommon  = {{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu|Snake Crow}}.
|jpname    = {{j|オジロへビガラス|Ojiro Hebi Garasu|White-tailed Snake Crow}}. The name refers to the white tail feathers that grow when the Snagret's tail scales are removed, as mentioned in the [[Downy Snagret]]'s notes on the [[Pikmin Garden]] website.
|scientific = ''Shiropedes anacondii''. ''Anacondii'' is similar to "{{w|anaconda}}", a dangerous type of constricting snake.

==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. This most likely originates from its [[Pikipedia:Japanese#Japanese names and common names|Japanese name]] which means "White-tailed snake crow".

*The Burrowing Snagret aboveground in the Awakening Wood has been reported to sometimes spawn with only 750 health. The cause of this is unknown. [https://streamable.com/01nyze]

*In the ''Super Smash Bros. series'', the Burrowing Snagret trophies contain a few [[mistake]]s.
*In the ''Super Smash Bros. series'', the Burrowing Snagret trophies contain a few [[mistake]]s.
**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.

**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.

*The Burrowing Snagret is the most commonly fought boss in the first 3 games, as it can be fought 4 times in the first game, 9 times in the second game, and 10 times in the third game. In ''Pikmin 4'', it is fought 5 times, beat out by the Emperor Bulblax at 6.
*The Burrowing Snagret is the most commonly fought boss in all 3 games, as it can be fought 4 times in the first game, 9 times in the second game, and 9 times in the third game.
**If one only counts story mode, then this title is lost in ''Pikmin 3'', as it is only encountered once. It is also fought in the {{p3d}} [[Side Stories]] mode once.
**If one only counts story mode, then this title is lost in ''Pikmin 3'', as it is only encountered once.
*The [[enemy reel]] [[Mistake|mistakenly]] states that its body is lined with feathers.
*In-game sources [[Mistake|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.
**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]].
*In ''Pikmin 2'', this enemy and the [[Pileated Snagret]] shake the least when damaged, i.e. their model stretches the least amount of all enemies.
*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.
*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.
