Snavians are the family of Snagrets. Both of them have a glitch.
The '''snavian family''' ({{j|ヘビドリ科|Hebi Dori ka|Snake bird family}}) is consisted of serpentine bird creatures that bury themselves underground and ambush surface dwelling prey. The Snavians, specifically Snagrets, are one of most diverse families after the [[grub-dog family]], having adapted to numerous climates and environments across [[PNF-404]].


They are found or referenced in all four [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], often constituting [[boss]] fights. In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], only Burrowing Snagrets appear, in [[The Forest of Hope]] and in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', they appear in greater numbers and variety, particularly in the [[Snagret Hole]]. Finally, a Burrowing Snagret also appears in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' in [[Twilight River]], and in [[Mission Mode]].
==[[Burrowing Snagret]]==
This Snagret is a mini-boss/boss in both games.


Snagrets, which is the main type of enemy in this family, are in the ''Shiropedes'' genus. The family also consists of Burrowing Snarrows, but they are only mentioned and are part of an unconfirmed genus, possibly even the one same one as its Snagret counterparts.
===Pikmin 1===
In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], it only appeared in [[The Forest of Hope]], and in challange mode. It should be noted that there are three in the Forest of Hope.

===Burrowing Snagret===
In [[Pikmin 2]], it was seen more often, the most in the [[Snagret Hole]]. It is even seen twice above ground! There is a new flaw, however, which is annoying. It is worth 15 Pikmin or 10 pokos. Also, it oddly sounds like a chicken when it dies.

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.
==[[Pileated Snagret]]==
 
It only aperred in Pikmin 2,and is like the "leader" of the Snagrets.They are rare,yet simple if they are found.The same statigy is used,except it can actually be ''stuned!!!''In looks,it is bigger,has an orange head,and a green torso.It also has a claw/leg to jump with,witch makes it trikyer.

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.

===Downy Snagret===

{{main|Downy Snagret}}
The Downy Snagret is a young Burrowing Snagret, which hops around on land rather than burrowing. They sometimes spawn from [[eggs]] when broken.

===Burrowing Snarrow===
''Official family unknown''
 
This is a creature that was mentioned by [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] in ''Pikmin''{{cite quote|{{Notes:Burrowing Snagret/reel}}|Captain Olimar|the [[enemy reel]] entry on the [[Burrowing Snagret]]}}, ''Pikmin 2''{{cite quote|{{Notes:Burrowing Snagret/olimar}}|Captain Olimar|[[Olimar's notes|his notes]] on the [[Burrowing Snagret]]}} and ''Pikmin 4'', but has not been seen in any game yet. It was recorded by Olimar to look almost exactly like a [[Burrowing Snagret]], however it can be told apart by the presence of wing and tail markings when it is pulled from the ground, which the Burrowing Snagret lacks, as well as the Snagret having a blue feather hue that the Snarrow does not. Even though its family is unknown, its relation to the other members of the Snavian family make it likely that that is its classification.

==Naming==
"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 &ndash; likely a crow. The term ''Shiropedes'' in their scientific names denotes the genus, and 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".
