Overview

Mammoth Snootwhacker Overview
Family	Weight	Sparklium Value	Pikmin Yield
Snootwhack	20	20	20
Sci. Name	Naspiralum melona
Locations	▸Dream Home
Dalmo's Log	If you get close, it will whip its trunk around and around, then smash it on the ground. It might be a chance for an exciting jump-rope workout! If you try throwing a bomb at it, it will use that dextrous trunk to shoot it right back at you. Those are some nose skills that could impress any athlete!
Olimar's Log	The long nose on this specimen has neither bone nor cartilage but is made up entirely of muscle and can be flexibly curved and extended. It's tough hide consists of densely layered collagen lattices that cover almost its entire body, leaving only the regular skin on the belly exposed. The fully developed trunk is large and quite heavy, so the Mammoth Snootwhacker usually rolls it inward to carry it closer to its center of gravity. But if its territory is invaded, it will extend the trunk and flail it around, even using it to strike a perceived enemy. Just like a juvenile Snootwhacker, their nose comprises a disproportional amount of their body weight, resulting in poor balance. If attacked from behind or from the side, even an adult of the species is easily knocked over.
Louie's Log	The bitter flavor fades as they grow, replaced by a sweet mellow aroma. Stew the base of the trunk, grill the middle, or smoke the tip. The possibilities are endless!
