Level appearances

Prima's Official Strategy Guide:These two creatures can often be found near the sea. The yellow Snaps are easily defeated by jumping on top of them. Pinchlys are a bit tougher. You must jump on top of them to get them to raise their claws, then pound the ground to flip them upside down. Now you can jump on their unprotected underside to knock them out.^[3]
