The Miniature Snootwhacker (コバナタタキ?, lit.: "Little Nose-Knocker") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. 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. Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with Oatchi, using a lightning shock, or detonating a bomb rock or other explosive item near the creature.

BehaviorEdit
Upon getting close to Pikmin, Oatchi, or the player, the Miniature Snootwhacker will use its trunk to do a spinning attack. If this attack hits its target, they are briefly knocked into the air and sent a moderate distance away from where they were hit. If Oatchi hits the Miniature Snootwhacker with a rush, it will flip and reveal its soft belly, which is able to be damaged by Pikmin and/or Oatchi. When the Miniature Snootwhacker regains it's footing after being flipped, it will knock off any Pikmin attacking it. The Miniature Snootwhacker is unable to kill Pikmin.
AppearanceEdit
The Miniature Snootwhacker is a small, green, elephant-like creature with a bright red underbelly that closely resembles the Mammoth Snootwhacker, its older counterpart. Its color palette and texture resemble that of a watermelon.

Due to the creature's hard skin, it cannot be attacked directly. Using Oatchi's Rush attack is the simplest and most effective method to flip the Snootwhacker over in order to attack its soft underbelly.

Adult Snootwhackers dexterously use their trunks to grab food from high tree branches, but juveniles consume fruits and nuts that have fallen to the ground, as well as other types of terrestrial flora.
This specimen's leg and torso muscles are underdeveloped compared to those in their nose, so they lack the strength to maintain their posture and easily lose their balance.”Louie's notesEdit
