Appearance in Pikmin 4.
Scientific name Gastropoidulus oculii
Family Polyocular slug

The Bogswallow hides in mud and reveals itself when Pikmin or leaders are in range, either when they are nearby or enter the mud itself, to inhale and eat them. Once it has inhaled enough Pikmin or has inhaled for long enough, it will swallow any Pikmin it managed to catch. It will continually attempt to inhale Pikmin unless they leave its range, at which point it will retreat back under the mud.

Notes

Stevvy’s observations

This humble creature makes its home in muddy bogs or marshlands, and is good at dragging in creatures using its mouth to inhale them. I wouldn’t want to be the creature in that situation, I’d rather be the Bogswallow...

Natti’s cookbook

Pluck off the lips, slice into rings, cover in breadcrumbs, and deep fry. The residual mud adds an earthy flavor to the meat.
