==Donating to the museum==
Upon the players' donating the snakehead to the [[museum]], [[Blathers]] says the following:
===In {{PG|short|nolink}}===
{{Blathers|PG|What a stupendous beast! It must have taken great effort to land this fearsome creature, eh wot? I've heard that giant snakehead carry parasites. Be sure to throughly cook them before eating. Blech! Parasites! Of course, we'll accept this one. Have no worries, we'll take special care of it.}}

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
{{Blathers|WW|I firmly believe the best way to prepare a fish is the way the locals do it... Based on that philosophy chili-pepper flakes are a must with giant snakehead! And if you notice one shaking chili flakes on YOU, might I suggest fleeing?}}

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
{{Blathers|CF|...What a giant snakehead! These fish are notorious for their tremendous appetites, eh wot? Much like a snake, once one of these grabs its prey, naught can convince it to let go... I should think a few well-placed owl kicks might convince it, should one ever take a liking to me! In any case, this fish doesn't hunt all year 'round. It hates the cold and hibernates through winter. I've come up with a smashing nickname for it... "The Scourge of Summer!" Marvelous, eh wot?}}

After its donation, the giant snakehead can be found in the big, left-hand fish tank with other river fish.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{NHFishDescription}}
{{Blathers|NH|The giant snakehead is quite a sight to behold, wot! One glance conjures up visions of its namesake. This resilient creature can even find a home in the mud, where it is able to breathe. As a matter of fact, it dislikes cold weather, so during wintertime the mud serves as its temporary home. I hear that they eat anything that swims past their head. While odd, I feel a sense of owlship with them.}}

After its donation, the giant snakehead can be found in the recessed tank in the freshwater room in the aquarium.

==Fishing Tourney==
During a [[Fishing Tourney]], when given a giant snakehead, [[Chip]] will say the following dialogue.
===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
{{Chip|CF|Hey, listen, I recommend giant snakehead fried in peanut oil... ...But do NOT eat it raw unless you think food poisoning sounds fun. Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!}}

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
{{Chip|NL|Hey, listen. I recommend frying giant snakehead in peanut oil. Delish! You can't beat that idea! OK, well, me, I'm just gonna scarf it down raw, of course! You still get the picture, though. YUM!}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Caught Giant Snakehead PG Early.png|thumb|right|250px|The player catching a spotted snakehead in {{PG}}, as seen in a prerelease trailer.]]
*A prerelease trailer for {{PG}} shows that the giant snakehead was originally called the spotted snakehead. Its catch quote is also different, being "Yup! First I spotted it, then I caughted it!" rather than "Yup! A giant snakehead. Who names these things?"

==Real-world information==
[[File:Giant Snakehead Real.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A real giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes)]]
The giant snakehead is the largest in the family Channidae, capable of growing to over one meter in length (three feet) and a weight of over 20 kilograms (40 pounds). They are voracious generalist predators, and will eat any small animal they can overpower, inlcuding other fish, crustaceans, insects, amphibians, molluscs and occasionally small terrestrial vertebrates. Snakeheads practice brood care and both parents will swim alongside and guard their young for weeks after hatching. Despite being labeled as such, the in-game giant snakehead is modeled after the northern snakehead (Channa argus) rather than the true giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes). The northern snakehead is also a very large fish albeit slightly smaller than the giant, growing up to a metre in length.
