Snipper

Snipper appeared in 2000 video game called Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Snipper is an insect-like foe appearing in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. He is a small yellow bug with round eyes, tiny legs, and very large jaws that lives in sandy areas. He stays in one deep spot waiting for Kirby to come by - so he can jump up, try to grab him with a bite, pull him underground, and then spit him back above ground, causing him damage. Kirby can tell where he's hiding because where Snipper hides, smoke will be coming out of the ground. He cannot be defeated.

Snippers behave and appear similarly to antlion larvae, which are known to create sinking pits of sand that they use to trap and ambush prey. These larvae have large jaws relative to their bodies, which is exaggerated with Snippers' appearance.
