In Pikmin 4 (BallsAngus version)
The Aero Snagret appears in Pikmin 4 (BallsAngus version) as the second major boss in story mode. It is orange-colored, always stays above ground, and has two feet. Upon entering its arena, the leaders see three eggs, and Alph feels uneasy because the eggs are far larger than they are. Suddenly, the massive Aero Snagret lands before them, screeching at them and clutching its eggs before taking to the air, flapping its wings to generate a wind gust to push them back as it hides its eggs elsewhere. Shortly thereafter, the beast returns, and the fight begins. The battle against it is the same as in Pikmin: The After Years.

In Pikmin: A New Journey
The Winged Snagret is a rare snavian in Pikmin: A New Journey that is more a bird than a snake. They have purple feathers, but they have vibrant highlights decorating certain parts of their bodies. Winged Snagrets are only ever seen in Volcano Caverns, and a friendly one named Alex is befriended by Olimar during his trek into it. In battle, Winged Snagrets are in constant flight and can only be hit by Yellow Pikmin because they fly so high.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Aero Snagret is a boss appearing in Pikmin: The After Years. This creature is like the Pileated Snagret except that it has a pair of wings and has twice the health and defense. Its feathers are yellow and its body is red. The Aero Snagret always stays airborne, high enough that only Yellow Pikmin can reach it. The Aero Snagret attacks by divebombing Pikmin and can snatch up to ten at once, although it may choose to fake a divebomb to throw them off. The only way to attack the Aero Snagret is to coax it into divebombing into a wall, causing its beak to become stuck and boulders to fall from above due to the quaking caused by the impact. Purple Pikmin can be used to stun the creature to delay it from freeing itself, and the occasional bomb rock that falls from the ceiling along with the boulders can be used to inflict even more damage to it.
