It has a blue scaly body, and a head, which is colored white. It appears to be a combination of a bird and a snake, (It is not known what kind of species of snake its body parts belonged to but it is likely that the species of bird is an egret.) and a member of the Snavian family (Snavian being a combination of the words ''snake'' and ''avian'', avian meaning "bird-related"). They remain underground for the majority of the time, surfacing only when approached by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or a [[Captain]]. Every few times it emerges, the beast gets stuck with only its head above ground for a while, giving a captain an opportunity to attack without fear of losing any Pikmin. When above ground, it attempts to eat Pikmin one by one, by gathering them in its mouth. The only way to save your Pikmin is to kill the snagret before they are swallowed.

When killed in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Burrowing Snagrets explode into many [[pellet]]s; in ''Pikmin 2'', a dead Burrowing Snagret leaves behind its head to be returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. | When killed in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', Burrowing Snagrets explode into many [[pellet]]s; in ''Pikmin 2'', a dead Burrowing Snagret leaves behind its head to be returned to an [[Onion]] or the [[Research Pod]]. | ||
The Snagret is also set to appear in Pikmin 3, however, its appearance has undergone changes to be represented in HD. Its scales and head feathers are larger and more defined. In its new game, the Burrowing Snagret seems to eat Pikmin slower than in the first and second. Also it can lose his feathers from it`s face although it`s currently unknown of this will have a effect in battles or damage. | |||

"The bluish hue of its feathers distinguishes it from the burrowing snarrow." | |||
===Olimar's Notes=== | |||
"The majority of snagret species lie in wait to ambush and capture prey, with a body type perfectly adapted to such sudden strikes. It violently attacks small, surface-dwelling insects. Distributed across a relatively wide range, subspecies of snagret suited to the varying soil conditions have emerged, making the snagret the most geographically represented species besides the bulborb. Visually resembling the burrowing snagret is the burrowing snarrow, the range of which partially overlaps with the snagret's range. While the two may appear similar, when pulled from the ground they can be distinguished by the presence or absence of tail and wing markings." | |||
===Louie's Notes=== | |||
"Slice the serpentine torso into thin medallions, skewer on a metal rod with Hocotate onions, and barbecue over an open flame." | |||

===<span style="line-height:1.5em;font-size:13px;">"This large, subterranean life-form suddenly erupts from underground to feast on nearby Pikmin. Its body is covered in slick scales, which render Pikmin attacks ineffective. Surely, it has a weak point somewhere..."</span>=== | |||

*In-game sources disagree on whether the creature's body is lined with feathers or scales: the Enemy Reel states they are feathers, while [[Olimar's Voyage Log]] call them scales.
