The Bogswallow is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It has two fins, a brown stripe, six eyespots and a large mouth. It usually inhabits muddy ponds. It inhales Pikmin as its primary attack, similar to the Waddlequaff.
Notes[]
Dalmo's Notes[]
“It pops up out of the mud, often with no warning, to say hello. With a body like a hose and a big round mouth, it sates its appetite by feeding on the mud itself! Its six bright eyes mean it’s sure to see the fondness we have for it six times better! I hope it eats up all that unending affection!”
Olimar's Notes[]
“This species prefers to inhabit cloudy, stagnant water like that in swamps, and it spends most of its life buried in the mud and hiding. Using its six eyelike sensory organs, it can detect minute movements in the water and vibrations on nearby land. It will then forcefully leap out of the water and suck up its prey to feed. With its entirely cartilaginous skeleton and somewhat primitive features— like its round, chinless mouth— it appears to be some sort of primeval creature.”
Louie's Notes[]
“Leave it out overnight to drain the mud from the carcass. When ready to eat, cut into rings, then grill over high heat. The more you chew it, the more flavorful it becomes.”
Strategy[]
Winged Pikmin are best for attacking the Bogswallow, as they cannot be dragged into the mud pits. When the Bogswallow prepares an attack, move away as quickly as possible. You will usually need Winged Pikmin to carry its corpse, but if none are on hand, there's not much you're losing, as large amounts of Pikmin can be created using other methods and it's more of a hassle than anything else to take the body back.
Trivia[]
- The Bogswallow fights in a very similar manner to the Waddlequaff, inhaling Pikmin as an attack.
