The '''Miniature Snootwhacker''' ({{j|コバナタタキ|Ko Bana Tataki|Little Nose-Knocker}}) 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]]. Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with [[Oatchi]] or exploding a [[bomb rock]] near the vicinity of the creature.

The Miniature Snootwhacker (コバナタタキ?, lit.: "Little Nose-Knocker") is an enemy in Pikmin 4. 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. Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with Oatchi, using a lightning shock, or detonating a bomb rock or other explosive item near the creature.

Behavior[edit]

Upon getting close to Pikmin, Oatchi, or the player, the Miniature Snootwhacker will use its trunk to do a spinning attack. If this attack hits its target, they are briefly knocked into the air and sent a moderate distance away from where they were hit. If Oatchi hits the Miniature Snootwhacker with a rush, it will flip and reveal its soft belly, which is able to be damaged by Pikmin and/or Oatchi. When the Miniature Snootwhacker regains it's footing after being flipped, it will knock off any Pikmin attacking it. The Miniature Snootwhacker is unable to kill Pikmin.

Appearance[edit]

The Miniature Snootwhacker is a small, green, elephant-like creature with a bright red underbelly that closely resembles the Mammoth Snootwhacker, its older counterpart. Its color palette and texture resemble that of a watermelon.

Locations[edit]

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 4.
Particularly: Add a guide on how to beat it.

Due to the creature's hard skin, it cannot be attacked directly. Using Oatchi's Rush attack is the simplest and most effective method to flip the Snootwhacker over in order to attack its soft underbelly.

Notes[edit]

Dalmo's Notes[edit]

The way it catches its food, protects its belly, and gets up while working with the weight of its sizable trunk are all taught by its diligent parents. Instead of hand and foot, the attend to their offspring nose and foot! They prepare the child for the day it will leave the nest and eventually become the parent itself.

Olimar's Notes[edit]

Immediately after birth, this species's skin starts to harden, and before long it will reach the same impenetrable toughness as that as that of an adult.

Adult Snoowhackers dexterously use there trunks to grab food from high tree branches, but juveniles consume fruit and nuts that have fallen to the ground as well as other types of terrestrial flora.

Louie's Notes[edit]

Gently peel the skin back from the nose. Its meat has a grassy bitterness. Tastes like cucumber.
