The Burrowing Snagret is an enemy in the ''Pikmin'' games that hides underground, waiting to burst out when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach. They are able to quickly snap up Pikmin on the ground with their beaks. Although the Snagret's whole body is vulnerable, it sustains most damage when its head is attacked. When killed, it explodes, yielding many [[Pellet]]s in ''Pikmin'', leaving only its head in ''Pikmin 2'', and leaving the entire corpse (revealing it to have a single foot) in ''Pikmin 3''. In the second game, they are smaller and have lower [[HP|health]], making them less of a threat, and in ''Pikmin 3'', if they miss a peck, their beak gets stuck in the ground momentarily. | The Burrowing Snagret is an enemy in the ''Pikmin'' games that hides underground, waiting to burst out when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach.

Scientific name: ''Shiropedes ambulatria'' | |||
The Pileated Snagret is a larger, rarer, and more dangerous species of the Snavian family. It has a green, scaly body, and a bright orange head. It is called "pileated" because it has a crest of feathers on its head, and its eyes are decorated by some eyebrow-like features. The Pileated Snagret behaves much like the Burrowing Snagret, but it is able to completely emerge from the ground and hop around on one clawed foot. This means it can chase its prey, and makes its head harder to reach. | The Pileated Snagret is a larger, rarer, and more dangerous species of the Snavian family.

"Snavian" is a portmanteau of "snake" and "avian", given their snake-like bodies and bird heads. Some members of this family use the word "Snagret" in their name. This seems to be a combination of the words "snake" or "snag", which means "to catch", and "{{w|egret}}", a kind of bird resembling the Snagrets. Their Japanese names also use the words {{j|ヘビガラス|Hebi Garasu}}, meaning "Crow Snake"; this is because of the enemies themselves being a combination of a snake and a bird – likely a crow.

The genus ''Shiropedes'' comes from {{j|白|shiro}}, meaning white in Japanese and ''pedes'', meaning foot in Latin; these originate from the Burrowing Snagret's ''Japanese name'' {{j|オジロヘビガラス|Ojirohebi Garasu}}, which means "White-tailed snake crow". | |||
