Leaping Snagret

The Leaping Snagret lives in quicksand pits and dry, cracked ground. When Leaders or Pikmin tread over its territory, it will dive out of the ground and fall back in, eating any Pikmin it can get. It looks like a Burrowing Snagret, only its head is red and it has to large spikes on the top and bottom of its head, facing backward. Sometimes, when it is diving out of the ground, it will get stuck and can be swarmed. If it's in quicksand, throwing a Tan Pikmin in to solidify it will launch it out and it will start flopping, much like a Wogpole out of water, until it finds more quicksand to burrow into. Any part of the Leaping Snagret can be attacked.

Pikmin: Wrath of Mr. B
In Pikmin: Wrath of Mr. B two leaping Snagrets are found in the long grass in the Wastes of Longing in specific areas on odd-numbered days. They now have a greenish body color and pale yellow head feathers, making them look somewhat like chickens. They dive out of the tall grass and get stuck headfirst in the ground for a bit before burrowing in, allowing some free hits. After that they behave like Burrowing Snagrets, only weaker. If a Pikmin is hit when it hits the ground, the Pikmin will be stunned for a few seconds.
