The '''Pileated Snagret''' ({{j|アカヘビガラス|Aka Hebi Garasu|Red Snake Crow}}) is the most powerful known species of the [[Snavian]] family, and the boss of the [[Snagret Hole]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It has a green scaly body, and a head larger than that of the [[Burrowing Snagret]], which is colored with red-orange feathers. It is called "pileated" because it has a crest of feathers on its head. Its eyes are also covered by some ear-like features. Compared to the Burrowing Snagret, this Snagret is definitely more powerful, as it has a lot more [[health]], and is able to walk on the ground. It is also much taller than its more common cousin.

The Pileated Snagret is found only in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Furthermore, it can only be found on sublevel 7 of the [[Snagret Hole]], sublevel 4 of the [[Hole of Heroes]], and sublevel 2 of the [[Rumbling Grotto]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]].

The word "pileated" means "crest", or the tuft of feathers on a bird's head in this case. It might be called this because, when compared to the [[Burrowing Snagret]], its head feathers are of a strong red color, or the fact that it has a more prominent crest of feathers on its head. In Japan, this boss is called {{j|アカヘビガラス|Aka Hebi Garasu}}, which translates to "Red Snake Crow", which is the same as the Burrowing Snagret's name, but with "red" before it.

 

Its scientific name is ''Shiropedes ambulatria''. ''Ambulatria'' is similar to the Latin word for "walking", ''ambulatura''. This is because this Snagret can walk on the ground by hopping, unlike to the Burrowing Snagret. Internally, it is called <code>snakewhole</code>, which is a change on the Burrowing Snagret's internal name in ''Pikmin 2'', <code>snakecrow</code>. It is called "whole" because unlike the Burrowing Snagret, one can see its whole body.

*When the creature dies, its body shrinks while the head remains the same size. Unlike other enemies, this is much harder to see without camera hacks and requires precise camera positioning to see. This also happens with the [[Burrowing Snagret]], [[Toady Bloyster]], and [[Ranging Bloyster]], but to a less drastic extent.
