The '''Sandsnapper''' is a round insect that remains buried in the sand around it. When it senses prey overhead, it pops up for a brief instant and snaps up any food it can find. If there is no food, it turns around and burrows back down to set its trap again. It is able to sense prey by leaving the tips of its antennae just barely above the surface, giving away its position to a keen eye. The safe method of dealing with a Sandsnapper is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] close, but not too close, to its location. It'll stun the creature and awkwardly push it out of the ground, where it can be beaten before it burrows again. Alternately, although more difficult, one can have a Pikmin swiftly dodge the attack and then beat the creature before it can retreat. | |||
