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]]. Its body is covered in blue scales that protect it from attack, encouraging directing attacks to its feathered head. In {{p1}} the Burrowing Snagret's body can be attacked for small damage, while in all later titles its body is entirely invulnerable. It has low health for a boss, but it often appears in groups. In {{p4}}, fledgling versions called [[Downy Snagret]]s can be found.

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'', 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.

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.

{{see|Burrowing Snagret/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)]].
