Scientific name: ''	Papilifictus nivedae''

The Snowfake Fluttertail is a [[boss]] found in the [[Frozen Inferno]] in {{p4}}. They resemble a yellow moth that has an ice coating that covers up most of its body. They also have a spiralled proboscis that they use to grab frozen Pikmin to eat. The Snowfake Fluttertail also has two blue antenna and four wings of the same color. They blow [[ice]] onto Pikmin to freeze them, then they use their proboscis to grab them. A fire starter must be used to melt the ice coating it has protecting itself before it can be damaged.

== Naming ==
The family's name, snowswallow, is made up of two words, ''snow'' and ''swallow''. ''Snow'' refers to the Snowfake Fluttertail using ice to both protect itself and freeze prey. ''Swallow'' could also be a reference to the real {{w|swallowtail butterfly}} as Olimar mentions their similar appearance in his notes.

The family genus, ''Papilifictus'', is derived from {{w|Papilio|''Papilio''}}, a real genus of swallowtail butterflies and ''fictus'', Latin for fake, referencing how the Snowfake Fluttertail is said to "mimic a type of swallowtail butterfly" and is actually more closely related to moths.
