The '''Burrowing Snagret''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin games]] and the [[:category:bosses|boss]] of [[White Flower Garden]] in [[Pikmin 2]]. It appears to be a combination of a bird and a snake, 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.

In Pikmin 1, they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if thrown at the head, as they have very high health and are larger than in the second game. When trying to defeat it in the first game, the best strategy is to throw Red Pikmin at its head while it's emerging from the ground as fast as you can, then whistling in your Pikmin right before he shakes them off to prevent them being eaten. Another effective, but risky way is to swarm the head in hopes of making the Burrowing Snagret retreat underground | In Pikmin 1, they are extremely hard to beat without losing Pikmin if thrown at the head, as they have very high health and are larger than in the second game.

In Pikmin 2, defeating one is an easier task because of its lower health; even so, it remains a good idea to use [[Purple Pikmin]]. | ||
It is easy to take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the beast will not fully emerge, getting stuck for some time. It is best to attack the Snagret then, and Olimar should kill it without losing any Pikmin. With quick, accurate throwing, however, this is not necessary to secure the battle. Throw many Pikmin at its head as soon as possible and the Snagret should die before managing to swallow any of the Pikmin that it may have snatched up from the ground. | It is easy to take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the beast will not fully emerge, getting stuck for some time.

*The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' trophy states that no one has ever seen a Burrowing Snagret's tail before. However, Olimar states in the Piklopedia that the Burrowing Snagret and Snarrow can both be distinguished by the markings on their tails, implying that Olimar has seen it full body, or at least its tail. | *The ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*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. [[Louie's Notes]] refer to the creature's 'serpentine torso', also implying they are scales. | *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.
