The '''Bogswallow''' ({{j|ヌマススリ|Numa Susuri|Swamp Sipper}}) is an enemy in {{p4}}. It hides imperceptibly within pits of [[mud]], emerging when prey is nearby to inhale them. [[Oatchi]] is too heavy to be sucked in, and the player may be swallowed if they get too close. | |||
It is primarily encountered in ''Pikmin 4'''s final [[area]], the [[Primordial Thicket]], as well as [[The Mud Pit]] dungeon. | |||

It then comes out of the ground and starts vacuuming Pikmin. Once it has vacuumed a number of Pikmin, if it vacuums for too long, or if it vacuums an item like a bomb rock; it swallows whatever Pikmin or item it managed to vacuum and begins vacuuming again, or hides back under the mud if the Pikmin are out of range. If the Pikmin are too far out of range to begin with, they will just hide back under the mud. When it is dead it's body floats a little letting winged pikmin carry it | ||

The Bogswallow's colors consist of a mix of orange and yellow, and brown. It has a large mouth with puckered red lips, similar to the Cannon Beetle Larvae. Its body appears to be segmented, like the Emperor Bulblax. Its fins are akin to the Pricklepuff. Behind its mouth are six green eyes, and when killed, it is shown to have a spiked tail. | |||

Charging a large amount of Winged Pikmin is usually the easiest and safest way to kill a Bogswallow. You can also throw a bomb rock at its mouth if it starts to vacuum up Pikmin, causing it to swallow the bomb and die instantly. However, the best way to deal with a Bogswallow is to use Ice Pikmin | Charging a large amount of Winged Pikmin is usually the easiest and safest way to kill a Bogswallow. You can also throw a bomb rock at its mouth if it starts to vacuum up Pikmin, causing it to swallow the bomb and die instantly. However, the best way to deal with a Bogswallow is to use Ice Pikmin to freeze the muddy lake they reside. This makes them to be unable to come out of the mud and the ones that do will be frozen, making it easy to kill them. | ||
Another good strategy is bait the creature with a single Purple Pikmin, as they are immune to its vacuuming effects. While it's attempting to suck it up, the player can toss a bomb rock into its mouth to instantly kill it. | |||
