Croaking Snarrow

The Croaking Snarrow is a boss Snavian from Pikmin Eco, the main boss from the "Rooster's nest" of Bounty Canopy. It has a red body covered in scales, with a small set of black-feathered wings. Its head strongly resembles that of a Rooster, with white feathers, a long yellow beak, and a red snood and "lashes". It is the only Snarrow specimen to be seen in the games, and only boss that summons other boss creatures.

Phase 01
The Croaking Snarrow is one of the few enemies that sends other creatures to fight for it. During the first part of its fight, it won't technically fight the player head on, but instead it calls upon a set of Burrowing Snagrets to fight the player. During this part of the fight, it will ocassionally raise its wings and start flapping, making a strong wind that blows the player back for a bit. It can't be damaged either during this phase, any Pikmin immediately getting pecked and eaten if thrown at it.

Phase 02
When both Snagrets are beaten, the Croaking Snarrow enters the fight itself, and only then can it be damaged. During the second phase it fights similarly to the Snagret: it will burrow down underground and will pop up near the player to try and peck at their Pikmin, before burrowing down again. After shaking off some Pikmin though it will create wind gusts again wherever its aimed at, potentially making the player be blown in any direction depending on the Croaking Snarrow's location.

Its only vulnerable spot is its head.
