Behavior

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Describe its behavior when it sees Pikmin, when it attacks, when it shakes, when it loses interest, etc.

Appearance

Its closely resembles the Burrowing Snagret. It has a round, white head with a slim blue body and a single leg with three clawed toes. Unlike the adult, it does not lose it's feathers as it takes damage.

Locations

Strategy

To limit the amount of casualties had, it is best to continuously throw Pikmin onto it until it dies. With a high enough Oatchi Rush, he is able to kill it with a single Rush attack.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

The sight of this wee one boinging around and pecking at its food all while skillfully balanced on its one leg is truly awww-inspiring. If you get too close, it might feel vulnerable and give you a warning poke with its beak. Or it might just turn to you for comfort.

Olimar's Notes

Due to a common phenomenon known as imprinting, this baby will recognize anything that it sees or hears within a given length of time after it hatches as its parent, and consequently follows it around.
However, the Downy Snagret has two specific conditions for imprinting. The first is that the target must be tall and blue, and the second is related to the sound of its cry. This means that it will never make a mistake with something as small as we are and will instead recognize it...or us...as food.
Since it is still a fledgling, the Downy Snagret does not go underground to feed. Instead, it stays on the surface where there is plenty of food. It looks harmless enough, but beware... Its parent may be hiding nearby until the baby is old enough to fend for itself.

Louie's Notes

Grind up the meat and cartilage, then mold into meatballs. The tender texture of the meat contrasts nicely with the crunchy, chewy cartilage bits.
