The '''Mega Snaptor''' is a boss who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''. These are larger [[Snaptor]]s with a different crest, though their appearance is the same otherwise. They appear in both the intro cutscene after [[Mario]] wakes up on [[Conductor Island]] following his and [[Luigi]]'s arrival to [[Concordia]] and on [[Lottacoins Island]]; in the latter scene, one is used by the [[Extension Corps]] to deal with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].

Since it can fly, a Mega Snaptor cannot be hit by ground-based weaponry like the standard [[Hammer]]. The Mega Snaptor starts the battle by grabbing either Bro. with its talons (if it has a high-enough [[Speed]]), which requires the other Bro. to dodge rocks and springs that it drops. At the end of that attack, the Mega Snaptor will let go of the Bro. it has kidnapped, and the other Bro. must jump over him. It will also extend his neck to peck at one of Bros., which requires the targeted Bro. to counterattack with his [[hammer]]. Likewise, the Mega Snaptor will fire tornadoes that the Bros. must jump over to avoid taking damage. This eventually requires [[Luigi Logic]] to fix the water pipes by connecting them, which can be done by stopping the pipes at the right time. If successful, Luigi will need to pull the level to open the pipe so that the water will erupt, which stuns the Mega Snaptor for a short while, rendering it vulnerable to ground-based weaponry and giving it a defense drop until the stun wears off. The Mega Snaptor can also peck at either Bro. without extending its neck, an attack that Mario or Luigi must counter by using his hammer.

When the Mega Snaptor on Lottacoins Island is defeated, the Extension Corps prepare to escape, with one Snaptor carrying [[Ten]] and another carrying [[Shun]]. [[Ecks]] reveals to the Bros. and Snoutlet that the Extension Corps plan to work on mass production on [[Glohm]], and the three manage to escape. No other Mega Snaptors appear in the game.
