The Miniature Snootwhacker 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. It uses its large trunk to scatter and crush pikmin (aside from Rock Pikmin on soft surfaces). Its belly is its weak point, but it can only be exposed by charging at it with Oatchi.

Notes

Dalmo's Notes

“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

“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

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