The Crested Snagret is a snagret with a black stripe on its large beak, crimson feathers on its head, and a scaly body featuring black-and-red stripes with a red feathery ridge on its back. When it burrows out from the ground, it shoots out a small wave of fire from where it pokes out, burning exposed Pikmin, but can also spit out a ball of fire after emerging from the ground instead of eating Pikmin, burning Pikmin in an area around where it lands. The fireball can be avoided by staying away from where the snagret looks when shooting the fireball. Upon reaching half-health health, all of its fire attacks affect a larger area, and it will use fewer fire attacks if the squad is comprised primarily Red Pikmin or fire-resistant Green Pikmin hosts. When defeated, the Crested Snagret lets out a loud squawk and a burst of harmless flame before collapsing, revealing a bright blue foot with orange-red talons. It appears as the boss of the Quicksand Hole, and appears later with less health and without the half-health health increase in strength as a miniboss in other caves, although it is hypothetically possible to encounter it in these caves before beating it as a boss.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This species of snagret has evolved a large bill and feathered ridges to ward off heat. But, seeing as they are so large, these adaptions alone don't solve the problem completely. This is where its unique hunting tactic comes into play. It collects excess heat and emits bursts of superheated air, which ignite flammable particulates in the air of underground areas it lives in, creating "fireballs" which it uses to debilitate large prey before biting with its much stronger beak. Although, this lifestyle hasn't seemed to cut down its appetite for Pikmin.”
Louie's notes
- “Chop off the head and leg, slice down the back to debone without damaging the flesh. Then, stuff in your favorite exotic spice blend or stuffing recipe, and steam until spontaneous combustion. Make sure to choose something that pairs well with the taste of smoke.”
Shacho's notes
- “These creatures would make for great inspiration for a horror movie franchise. Their ridges always protrude a bit from the sand. I mean, imagine you're in a desert, and you see rows of these blood-red scales pointing from the sand. Pure terror, I tell you.”
