Winged Snagret

Winged Snagrets are very rare variations of Burrowing Snagrets. You'll only ever see them in Volcano Caverns, plus Alex.

Biology
Winged Snagrets are more bird than snake. They fly through the air most of the time, never burrowing. They can only be hit with Yellows. Their color scheme is mostly cool colors. They are slighly slimmer than normal Snagrets.

Alex
The thing about these Snagrets is that one of them is actually a supporting character! Alex is a gentle Winged Snagret who was rejected for being a vegetarian. He joins up with Olimar midway through the adventure, when you see him munching on Glowcaps in the Volcano Caverns. Olimar is startled and runs, but one of your Pikmin (usually a Rare, you're bound to have one at that point because of how the game goes) feels brave and runs up to it. Alex looks over at it and gently picks it up with his wing. The Pikmin is scared and backs up a bit, but Alex simply looks at it and puts it down. He then flies over to Olimar and joins him.
