Pileated Snagret

The Pileated Snagret is the most powerful known species of the snavian family. 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 snavian is definitely more powerful, as it has a lot more vitality, and is able to move on the ground. It is also much taller than its more common cousin.

Olimar's notes

 * "This variety of snagret has the ability to both burrow underground and walk above it. Its earthy red coloration and distinct yellow ear and eye markings make it immediately recognizable. Despite featuring a chimeralike merging of serpent and avian features, the pileated snagret has poor eyesight for a bird, perhaps due to extended periods spent underground. To compensate for this, its nose features a thermal-sensing organ common to many snakes, making it a dangerously effective hunter."

Louie's notes

 * "You haven't lived until you've tasted a mint-braised snagret shank! Or if you're feeling especially saucy, stuff a bird with a can of your favorite savory nectar, throw it on the barbeque, and let the juices mingle to make a mean beverage-canister snagret!"
