The Downy Snagret (ヒナガラス^?, lit.: "Fledgling Crow") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is a juvenile version of the Burrowing Snagret which is closely resembles. Unlike its adult counterpart, it does not burrow. Instead it hops around on its singular foot and pecks up Pikmin. They are often found near Burrowing Snagrets or inside nectar eggs.

Behavior[edit]

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.

The Downy Snagret can usually be found hopping around in a small area; however, it can sometimes be within an egg instead. Upon noticing the player and their Pikmin, it hops towards them and tries to eat them. If it successfully grabs a Pikmin, it takes about a second to slide it down its mouth and swallow it.

Appearance[edit]

It closely resembles the Burrowing Snagret. It has a round, white head with a slim blue body and a single leg with three clawed toes. Unlike the adult, it does not lose its feathers as it takes damage.

Locations[edit]

Strategy[edit]

To limit the amount of casualties had, it is best to continuously throw Pikmin onto it until it dies. With a high enough level Oatchi Rush, particularly once Rush Lv. 3 has been learned, he is able to kill it with a single Rush attack.

Notes[edit]

Dalmo's notes[edit]

“The sight of this wee one boinging around and pecking at its food all while skillfully balanced on its one leg is truly awww-inspiring. If you get too close, it might feel vulnerable and give you a warning poke with its beak. Or it might just turn to you for comfort.”

Olimar's notes[edit]

“Due to a common phenomenon known as imprinting, this baby will recognize anything that it sees or hears within a given length of time after it hatches as its parent, and consequently follows it around.

However, the Downy Snagret has two specific conditions for imprinting. The first is that the target must be tall and blue, and the second is related to the sound of its cry. This means that it will never make a mistake with something as small as we are and will instead recognize it...or us...as food.

Since it is still a fledgling, the Downy Snagret does not go underground to feed. Instead, it stays on the surface where there is plenty of food. It looks harmless enough, but beware... Its parents may be hiding nearby until the baby is old enough to fend for itself.”

Louie's notes[edit]

“Grind up the meat and cartilage, then mold into meatballs. The tender texture of the meat contrasts nicely with the crunchy, chewy cartilage bits.”

“ヘビガラスのひな鳥。頭部はふわふわな幼綿羽に覆われていて、これが生え変わるまでは地中には潜らず、餌の豊富な地上で活動する。

特徴その1 地上で活動する

特徴その3 尾羽

Translation

“A Burrowing Snagret fledgling. Its head is covered with fluffy downy feathers, and it stays on the surface where there is plenty of food, rather than going underground, until it grows out of its feathers.

Feature #1: Active above ground

It is born from eggs laid above the ground.

(Image text:

"The Burrowing Snagret, lacking feathers, warms its eggs with heat from the ground or sunlight"
"It jumps around on one leg and pecks at its prey with its beak")

Feature #2: Imprinting

Immediately after hatching, they recognize moving or vocalizing objects as their parents.

(Image text: "Imprinting requires a tall, blue body and a high-pitched cry")

Feature #3: Tail feathers

When the spiky scales at the tip of its rear are removed, short white tail feathers grow out.

(Image text: "Plain white tail feathers are characteristic of the Burrowing Snagret (those of the closely related Burrowing Snarrow have spots)")”
