How To Catch |
---|---|---|---|
|
Kweeble |
There are a few K🍸weebles on the left side of the area when facing away from the entrance. |
Kweebles will charge a Snak Trap covered in chocolate, but they're quite slow so it's easy to snatch it up before it knocks the trap away. |
|
Crapple |
You'll find Crapples along the coastline where the waves hit the beach. |
Lure Crapples into your Snak Trap with chocolate or peanut butter. |
|
Pineantula |
There are some Pineantula on the right side of the🏅 beach, usually burrowed bene🥀ath the sand. |
Cover a Pineantula's leaves with chocolate and a nearby Crapple will dig it out of the sand and take it to its lair. After throwing the Pineantula, it'll be stunned for a few moments, ready to snatch with your Bug Net. |
|
Orange Peelbug |
There are two Orange Peelbugs in the area, located inside the hollow logs on the beach. |
First, place your Snak Trap at one end of a hollow log, and then send your Buggy Ball through the other end. It'll force the Peelbug out, ready for capture. |
|
Razzby |
There are some Razzbies on the left side of the beach. One might be foun🍎d inside the tunnel in ജthe wall. |
You can easily lure Razzbies into your Snak Trap with chocolate sauce, and force one out of the tunnel with your Buggy⛄ Ball. |
|
Green Grapeskeeto |
You can find these flying around laz༒ily near the chocolate sauce plant on the beach proper. |
Fire some chocolate at a nearby Razzby and the Grapeskeeto will start feasting on it. Now, fat with sauce, it is slow and easily caught with your Bug Net. Don't worry, the Razzby used will remain unharmed. |
|
Snaquiri |
There are a few Snaquiris around the area, shooting in the air from water. There are two in the sea and one in the springs near Gramble's temporary setup. |
Use a combination of the Lunchpad and the Snak Trap. Launch the trap at the Snaquiri while it's at the apex of its leap and trap it when the trap turns blue. |
|
Tropicabug |
You can find a Tropicabug in the small clearing to the left of the area's entrance. When it notices you, it'll immediately spring into a nearby bush. |
The Tropicabug only leaves a bush when the bush is attacked. Set a Snak Trap down next to the bush and then cover the bush in chocolate sauce. Lure the nearby Kweeble over and it'll attack the bush, releasing the Tropicabug. |
|
Lovely Sweetiefly |
There is a single Lovely Sweetiefly flying around the entrance 🌼to the🐠 area. |
As with other Sweetieflies, you'll have to wait until it's asleep at its usual resting place and then launch your Snak Trap at it with the Lunchpad. If you simply place the trap down, it'll wake the snak up and startle it. |
|
Baja Tacroach |
You'll find a few of these around Wiggle's rug, near the dinner bell, at night. |
These are easy to catch using a Snak Trap and a sauce that the Tacroach likes. They like cheese and hot sauce, so you'll have to bring some from another area. |
|
Waffstackarak |
To summon two of these from the sea, you'll have to ring the dinner bell near Wiggle's rug. They'll emerge from the sea, creating tornadoes. |
There are two ways to catch a Waffstackarak. The first is to wait until they get tired after their tornado disappears and quickly set and trigger your Snak Trap near them. The second is to trip them up with the Trip Shot and snag them with the Bug Net. |
|
Grumpy Snakpod |
There are five Grumpy Snakpod spawn points in the area, and they will not respawn until you've collected all of them at least once:
|
You will need to use the Snakgrappler to get some of these. |
