The '''Bogswallow''' is an enemy in {{p4}}. It hides imperceptibly within pits of [[mud]], emerging when prey is nearby to inhale them. [[Oatchi]] is too heavy to be sucked in, and the player may be swallowed if they get too close.


It is most commonly encountered in ''Pikmin 4'''s final area, the [[Primordial Thicket]], making it one of the last new enemies a player is likely to encounter during the game.

The Bogswallow's colors consist of a mix of orange and yellow, and brown. It has a large mouth with puckered red lips, similar to the Cannon Beetle Larvae. Its body appears to be segmented, like the Emperor Bulblax. Its fins are akin to the Pricklepuff. Behind its mouth are six green eyes, and when killed, it is shown to have a spiked tail.

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.

Another good strategy is bait the creature with a single Purple Pikmin, as they are immune to its vacuuming effects. While it's attempting to suck it up, the player can toss a bomb rock into its mouth to instantly kill it.
