The Miniature Snootwhacker is an enemy in {{p4}}. It is the younger variant of the Mammoth Snootwhacker. Due to its tough skin, it is immune to most physical attacks from pikmin, even [[Rock Pikmin]]. It uses it's large trunk to scatter and [[crush]] pikmin (aside from Rock Pikmin on soft surfaces). Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with [[Oatchi]].

The 'Mammoth Snootwhacker 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.

The family name is a combination of "snoot" (slang for nose) in reference to their large trunks, and "whack" to describe the way they [[crush]] and knock back Pikmin with their trunks.
