In Pikmin: Elemental Speciation
The Oviparous Snagret is a type of snagret in Pikmin: Elemental Speciation with a light green body and a tawny feathered head. It has a large red comb on top of its head. Despite the similarity to roosters in real life, this comb does not signify gender; quite the opposite, since all members of the species have combs. It has more health than the Burrowing Snagret, and is also distinctly larger; furthermore, it has all its normal attacks, but can also drive its head into the ground and dig up a cluster of three to five eggs that it then launches towards nearby Pikmin. After reaching half-health, it has a chance to launch five to seven eggs spread around the arena whenever it emerges. These eggs can knock down captains and deflower Pikmin and can burst upon impact, revealing nothing, some nectar, a Burrowing Snaglet, or a swarm of Mitites. In the Challenge Mode hard difficulty refight of this boss, its eggs never yield nectar and can rarely hatch into Cocooning Arachnodes. When defeated, it squawks and emerges from its hole onto the ground, revealing a dark brown foot with small talons, as well as revealing nine to twelve eggs at the place where it emerged. These eggs can contain similar things to those used in the creature's attacks.

This creature's scientific name is based on ovum, the Latin word for egg, and gallus, the scientific name of the chicken. Louie's comments on this creature reference the joke that lots of food tastes like chicken, as this creature is based on a chicken.
