The '''Pileated Snagret''', is a larger, and more powerful species in the Snavian family. It has a green scaly body, and a much larger head that is red. It is called 'pileated' because it has a crest of feathers on its head. Its eyes are also covered by some ears-like features. This Snagret is definitely more powerful, because not only does it have a lot of more health, it also is able to walk on the ground, and is also a lot taller. This makes it very hard to hurt it by throwing Pikmin onto it. However, [[Purple Pikmin]] are still the best choice because you can still throw them on there if you are accurate, but you will need to use [[ultra-spicy spray]], so they can run fast enough, and cause enough damage. The reason Purple Pikmin are great is that when the creature emerges from the ground, your purples will make the Snavian 'bounce', like in most cases of enemies, and in the small seconds of those bounces, your Pikmin attached to the Snavian will deal damage, and then it will probably return to the ground without eating any Pikmin. If you are lucky you might just stun it, making it extremly vulnerable. As a side note, its cousin the [[Burrowing Snagret]] can't be stunned because the Burrowing Snagret is attached to the ground. If you repeat this, you will emerge victorious towards the terrifyingly difficult creature.

Another, even safer strategy is to take a large group of Pikmin, [[Ultra-Spicy Spray|supercharge]] them, and right as the Snagret emerges, [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|freeze]] it, and C-stick them onto the beast.  Be sure to wait one second for the head to fully emerge. Otherwise, the pikmin will attack the beak and cause hardly any damage at all, even if all 100 are attacking it. Depending on the size of the Pikmin army and the location, it will take at least two [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]]s to defeat. This strategy is safer when it is found in the [[Hole of Heroes]] because moving and directing Pikmin is hard due to the sand pit in the middle of the level.

The Pileated Snagret, is a larger, and more powerful species in the Snavian family. It has a green scaly body, and a much larger head that is red. It is called 'pileated' because it has a crest of feathers on its head. Its eyes are also covered by some ears-like features.This Snagret is definitely more powerful, because not only does it have a lot of more health, it also is able to walk on the ground, and is also a lot taller.

This makes it very hard to hurt it by throwing Pikmin onto it. However, Purple Pikmin are the best choice, because it is still possible to throw them on there with good aim, but an ultra-spicy spray is strongly advised so that they can run fast enough, and cause enough damage. The reason Purple Pikmin are great here is that when the creature emerges from the ground, the Purples will make the Snavian 'bounce', like in most cases of enemies, and in the small seconds of those bounces, the Pikmin attached to the Snavian will deal damage, and then it will probably return to the ground without eating any Pikmin. Sometimes, it may get stunned, making it extremly vulnerable. When this tactic is repeated, it should be easy to defeat this creature. As a side note, its cousin the, Burrowing Snagret, can't be stunned because it is attached to the ground.

Another, safer, yet more time-consuming strategy, is to run around and wait for the Pileated Snagret to emerge. Every now and then, the Snagret will have trouble coming out of the ground. Toss the Pikmin on it during this time. When it fully emerges, it'll be too weak to attack, and burrow underground again. Repeat until the creature dies. Of course, the creature can always be petrified when the head is emerging, even when it is not having trouble getting out, making it possible to attack the head easily.

The Pileated Snagret is found only in Pikmin 2. It can only be found on Sublevel 7 of the Snagret Hole, Sublevel 4 of the Hole of Heroes, and the last (2) sublevel of the Rumbling Grotto in Challenge Mode.

Sometimes this creature, and the Burrowing Snagret, may still remain alive with what appears to be little or no health. Also, if a Pikmin stands directly where the Pileated Snagret dives into the ground, the Pikmin will be taken under the ground, and will die with the sound as if it were thrown off into an abyss. Sometimes the Pikmin will make the sound, but will not die. This is most likely because they were shoved into the ground, and then knocked back by the Snagret's foot at the same time, saving them.
