{{game icons|p4=y}}

Scientific name: ''Naspiralum melona'' (adolescent)

The Miniature Snootwhacker is an enemy in {{p4}}. 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]]. It uses its large trunk to scatter and [[crush]] Pikmin (aside from Rock Pikmin on soft surfaces). Its belly is its weak point, and can only be exposed by Rushing at it with [[Oatchi]].

{{main|Mammoth Snootwhacker}}

Scientific name: ''Naspiralum melona''

The Mammoth Snootwhacker is a large enemy in {{p4}}. It is the older variant of the Miniature Snootwhacker. Like its younger form, it has a thick skin that prevents most attacks and allows it to [[crush]] non-[[Rock Pikmin]] with the weight of its trunk. These attacks pose a greater threat and larger radius given the increased size. Unlike the smaller version, it takes two Rushes from [[Oatchi]] to damage it, as Rushing it only once will simply stun it instead of exposing its belly, which is its weak point.

== Naming ==
The family name is a combination of "snoot" (slang for nose) in reference to their large trunks, and "whack" to describe the way they [[crush]] and knock back Pikmin with their trunks.

Members belong to the genus ''Naspiralum'', a combination of "nasal" and "spiral", eluding to their trunks.
