Biology[]

SV Snaggerjag appears as the top half of a stout, teal-skinned humanoid Yo-kai emerging from a wooden sailboat. He has curly black hair, bushy eyebrows, a beard and mustache, and glaring yellow eyes, with a frowning mouth full of sharp teeth. He wears an orange happi with green accents and a white wave pattern, and a fishing rod with a dangling line and hook is attached to the top of his head, with a headband tied at the base. His boat flies a purple square rig sail with the kanji for "treasure" (Japanese: Takara) inside a circle painted in white. His hair also goes up on the left and right which it curves to look like demon horns.

His befriendable form, however, loses most of his boss form's features, losing the kanji on his sail, his hull is smaller, his facial hair is reduced to a soul patch, the end of his fishing rod fades into black, and his eyebrows loses the horn feature on his boss form.

SV Snaggerjag is stiff and doesn't like it when people or Yo-kai mess around in the pond because he is afraid it will scare the fish away.

Skill: Lake's Guardian-Takes in all water damage and heals himself with it.

He brings bad luck to anglers and can command the fish that live in his lake.

He is required for the Snaggerjag and Friends Yo-kai Circle.

Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble[]

SV Snaggerjag, along with Sproink and Slimamander, were befriendable in the Befriend-a-Boss event, and their fusion items were available in the crank during this period as well.

Strategy[]

SV Snaggerjag is the 3rd Boss Yo-kai, relying more on his summons than his own attacks. He doesn't have any special defensive properties. He has the following attacks.

  • A normal attack involving him using the hook on his head like a whip.
  • Takin' it All (Japanese: 一本釣り Ippon Zuri): Reels into the lake and pulls out a random catfish enemy to assist him: the green catfish Meditatum, the blue catfish Shuter, and the red catfish Grumpus.
  • Soultimate: A Fisher's Life (Japanese: どっこい大漁節 Dokkoi Tairyou-Bushi): A powerful water-elemental attack that summons a large brown catfish and blasts the front line with a massive water beam, damaging them all. Can only be used when 2 catfish are summoned.

His main gimmick is that he can summon 3 random enemies: Meditatum, Shuter, Grumpus. Meditatum uses a healing technique named Fishy Heal, healing SV Snaggerjag a small amount of HP, Shuter uses a Water-elemental technique named Squirt Gun, and Grumpus does a headbutt, doing physical damage. They have low HP, so a few attacks will defeat them.

Unlike the previous 2 boss fights, he's extremely easy without his summons, as he can't do much outside of his normal attack. Just attack the catfish when they're up to prevent extra damage and his soultimate from being done. He takes less damage from Water-elemental attacks, but is weak to Electric-elemental attacks.
