Particularly: Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.

The Bogswallow hides under the mud until a captain, Oatchi, or the Pikmin comes close to the mud puddle or goes into the mud. It then comes out of the ground and starts vacuuming Pikmin. Once vacuumed a number of Pikmin, or if it vacuums for too long. It swallows whatever Pikmin 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.

Particularly: Add a guide on how to beat it.

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 the 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.
