Behavior
|
The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4. |
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
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
Strategy
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
Dalmo's Notes
Olimar's Notes
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 parent may be hiding nearby until the baby is old enough to fend for itself.”

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)")”
