The '''Burrowing Snagret''' | The '''Burrowing Snagret''' 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. | ||
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]]. | |||
| | |||
==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]]. | |||

==Strategy== | |||
[[Image:Burrowing-snagret-zoom.jpg|thumb|220px|Olimar, leading an attack on a Burrowing Snagret.]] | |||
In ''Pikmin'', they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if thrown 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 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. | |||
== | ==Brawl Trophy Description== | ||
[[File: | [[File:B.jpg|right]] | ||
A Burrowing Snagret is seen as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Its description is as follows: | |||
''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.'' | |||
=== | ==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 both games, as it can be fought 4 times in the first game, and 11 times in the second 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]]. | |||
===Burrowing Snarrow=== | |||
The Burrowing Snarrow is a creature that is referred to only twice in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], but never seen. The first of these mentions is in the [[Enemy reel]] at the end of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']]: | |||
:''The bluish hue of its feathers distinguishes it from the burrowing snarrow.'' | |||
The second allusion to it is in [[Olimar's notes]] [[#Olimar's Notes|on the Burrowing Snagret]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'''s [[Piklopedia]]. | |||
