The '''Boggy Snagret''' is a species of [[Snavian family|snavian]] appearing in [[Pikmin Evolution]]. It has a similar body structure to it's closest relative the [[Burrowing Snagret]], but it has a pure jet black body with bright purple eyes and a sickle shaped beak. However you will only see that form under very specific circumstances as it spends most of it's time covered in either a brown or pink fizzling [[sludge]] with only it's eyes visible. This sludge indicated two things, firstly it's [[acid]]ic, meaning only [[Germ Pikmin]] can touch the Boggy Snagret, secondly if the sludge on the snagret's body is pink, it can't be removed unless you defeat the creature. The brown and pink variants have near identical fighting styles with each other, though they have a few distinctions between each other. The brown Boggy Snagret can burrow anywhere in it's territory, leaving behind more brown sludge, however the pink Boggy Snagret will only burrow inside it's puddle of sludge, meaning it's restricted to attacking that area only. Both share the same attacking pattern as most snavians in that they will pluck Pikmin from the ground with their beaks and eat them after some time unless they become overwhelmed with attacks, which becomes challenging due to the Germ Pikmin's weak initial attack, and obviously the Boggy Snagret is immune to the acidic taste of Germ Pikmin as well. This difficulty is compounded by the Boggy Snagret's unique ability to create dopplegangers of itself out of sludge. These alongside the main Boggy Snagret will slide along the sludge they call home and attacking them will cause the doppelgangers to explode into a mountain of sludge, burying the Germ Pikmin and causing them to drown. To tell between the Boggt Snagret and the doppelgangers look at how the doppelgangers slide in a straight line compared to the more circular sliding of the real Boggy Snagret, this emphasizes their artificial nature. When damaged more and more both the real Boggy Snagret and their doppelgangers will gain more erratic sliding speeds, making them more difficult to tell which is real. The best way to tell which is real is to spray [[water]] on the snagret as that not only reveals who is the real one but also temporarily makes the real one take twice as much damage from enemy attacks, but after a while it will dive back into the sludge to gain it's armor once again. Once defeated the Boggy Snagret's sludge will instantly disappear, which is very helpful as you don't need to clean it now, however the sludge doesn't disappear on the [[refuse]] these creatures often drop, meaning Germ Pikmin need to carry them to the ship for collection. One notable element of this boss is that pink Boggy Snagrets are often places in corridors to block them off, meaning they are sometimes required to be defeated for area progression, and in these case you may even need to fight two or more Boggy Snagrets in order to clear the sludge and proceed.

The Boggy Snagret is a species of snavian appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It has a similar body structure to that of its closest relative, the Burrowing Snagret, but it has a pure jet-black body with bright purple eyes and a sickle-shaped beak. However, its form is only visible under very specific circumstances, as it spends most of its time covered in either a brown or pink fizzling sludge, with only its eyes visible while it watches for prey. This sludge indicates two of the Boggy Snagret's characteristics: firstly, it's acidic, meaning only Germ Pikmin can touch it, and secondly, if the sludge on the snagret's body is pink, it can't be removed until it is defeated.

The brown and pink variants share nearly identical fighting styles, though there are a few differences. The brown Boggy Snagret can burrow anywhere in its territory, leaving behind more brown sludge, however, the pink Boggy Snagret will only burrow inside its puddle of sludge, meaning it's restricted to attacking that area only. Both share the same attacking pattern as most snavians in that they will pluck Pikmin from the ground with their beaks and eat them after some time unless they become overwhelmed with attacks. Preventing it from eating Pikmin it has caught is made challenging by the Germ Pikmin's weak initial attack, and obviously, the Boggy Snagret is immune to the acidity of Germ Pikmin as well. Furthermore, the Boggy Snagret has the unique ability to create doppelgangers of itself out of sludge. These, alongside the main Boggy Snagret, will slide along the sludge they call home, and attacking them will cause the doppelgangers to explode into a mountain of sludge, burying the Germ Pikmin and causing them to drown. The difference between the real Boggy Snagret and its doppelgangers is that the real one moves in more of a circular formation and the doppelgangers move in more of a straight line, emphasizing their artificial nature.

Once defeated, the Boggy Snagret's sludge will instantly dry up and disappear, meaning any Pikmin can carry its remains, but the sludge coating the refuse the creatures often drop does not, meaning Germ Pikmin must carry them to the ship for collection. One notable element of this boss is that pink Boggy Snagrets are often placed in corridors to block them off, sometimes requiring defeating them to progress in an area. In these cases, two or more Boggy Snagrets often must be fought in order to clear the sludge and proceed.

Notes

Ivy's journal

Aquatic snavians have long been considered extinct considering one has yet to appear in the modern day. But maybe these snavians have evolved to swim in mud rather than water. The sickle-shaped beak which helped with aquatic affinity seems to have made a new purpose in digging through mud, and the scales which store air for breathing now act as a shield to protect against the often corrosive matter found in this species' new muddy habitat.

Leni's recipe book

Inedible. Melts through even the toughest pots and pans.

Marvin's strategy guide

A literal dirty fighter, you should wash that dirt off with clean water.
