Blargian snagglebeast

The Blargian Snagglebeast was a monstrous creature that was often used in executions. Thickly armored and with claws as sharp as daggers, it was a Snagglebeast that Captain Qwark used to try and kill Ratchet and Clank.

In Ratchet & Clank, it was first seen in the Qwark's commercial for Al's Roboshack. Ratchet later defeated it on planet Umbris.

The creature looked somewhat similar to Captain Qwark and Chairman Drek. It had the same chin, face and antennae as Qwark. It was unlikely it was the same species as Qwark, but he was probably giving these looks for the sake of Captain Qwark. It was also possible that it was not from Umbris, as it had the word 'Blargian' in its name, possibly stating it may be from Orxon, which explains the slight resemblance in the face and eyes of Drek.

It's gauntlets and other tehnology gained it powerful fire abilities, capable of launching fire balls from its hands, fiery waves from its feet and beams from the antennae. Ironically, it was weak to molten lava.

There appeared to be types of Snagglebeast other than Blargian, as the advert for My Blaster Runs Hot had one citizen saying, "I thought Qwark was a myth, like the abominable Snagglebeast of Zanifar."

Biography 1
The Blargian Snagglebeast was the 'Pet' of Qwark likely given to him as a gift from Drek. Captain Qwark used the creature as part of some of his commercials filling role of a savage and frightening monster that he would be fighting off, such as for the case with Big Al's Roboshack and Gaming Superstore. Qwark kept the creature underneath his heavily fortified training course on Umbris and lured Ratchet and Clank to it's lair in order to finish them off. Ratchet was able to use the surrounding lava to drown and roast the beast killing it.

Battle
Defeating the Snagglebeast was simple. Ratchet had to simply attack it with any weapon until a red shield appeared around it. It would begin to run toward the duo and had to be led over one of the black bridges in the battle room. It would then break the bridge then fall into the lava. This process had to be executed three times to defeat it.

Trivia

 * Judging by its size in comparison to Qwark and Ratchet, it appeared to be the same size as Giant Clank.

 * The Music used from Planet Zeldrin,from R&C3 ,sounds remotely similar to the music used in this fight.
 * The gameplay footage for the new game shows a fight against the new Blargian Snagglebeast, its shape and new attacks largely resemble the War Grok from A Crack In Time.

Behind the scenes
In Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus the Legend difficulty is described as having made a Blargian Snagglebeast shed a tear and then shove it back in its eye.
