The '''Mammoth Snootwhacker''' ({{j|オオハナタタキ|Oo Hana Tataki|Large Nose-Knocker}}) is a large | The '''Mammoth Snootwhacker''' ({{j|オオハナタタキ|Oo Hana Tataki|Large Nose-Knocker}}) is a large enemy in {{p4}}. It is the older variant of the [[Miniature Snootwhacker]]. Like its younger form, it has a thick skin that prevents most attacks and allows it to [[crush]] non-[[Rock Pikmin]] with the weight of its trunk. These attacks pose a greater threat and larger radius given the increased size. Unlike the smaller version, it takes two charges from [[Oatchi]] to damage it, as only one will simply stun it instead of exposing the belly, its weak point. | ||

Just like a juvenile Snootwhacker, their nose comprises a disproportional amount of their body weight, resulting in poor balance. If attacked from behind or from the side, even an adult of the species is easily knocked over.|block=y}} | Just like a juvenile Snootwhacker, their nose comprises a disproportional amount of their body weight, resulting in poor balance.
