'''Careening Dirigibugs''' are extremely strange creatures which don't appear to be native to the region in which they're seen. Colorful balloon-like appendages allow them to drift gracefully around the arena. Despite their comical appearance, when approached, Dirigibugs pull from their mouths [[bomb rock]]s and toss them onto the ground with the intent of blowing Pikmin off the map. This can be taken advantage of to damage other enemies. Dirigibugs can be defeated in the same manner as [[Scarpanid]]s and other flying enemies: rapidly throw [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto it while in the air (one [[Purple Pikmin]] will work just as well), then swarm it when it falls. | |||
These beasts are only found underground, which includes caves, [[Challenge Mode]] and a single [[:Category:2-player locations|2-Player stage]], [[Hostile Territory]]. | |||

== | == Fighting strategies == | ||
The creature should be approached from behind if possible. [[Ultra-bitter spray]] is very useful should the enemy be carrying a bomb rock. The distance and direction the bomb is thrown when the creature is attacked is random. Should it land too close to the enemy to be able to make an approach, the player must back off and try again. Another way is to first have it drop its bomb. The you must throw enough pikmin to make it hit the ground. Then call them back. Then when the bomb blows up the creature will have no bomb, making it vulnerable. | |||
== | ==Brawl Trophy Description== | ||
"A dangerous, offensive-minded creature. It uses balloons to keep it afloat as it flies through the air and drops bomb-rocks on ground-bound prey. These Bomb-rocks sometimes turn out to be duds, but since the slightest stimulus can set these things off, the ultimate care should be taken with them." | |||
== Trivia == | |||
* A Careening Dirigibug trophy can be unlocked in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Interestingly, the trophy description details that Careening Dirigibugs occasionally throw dud bomb rocks. | |||
* The Careening Dirigibugs bear a strange resemblence to the [[wikipedia:Eosapien|Eosapiens]] from the documentary "Alien Planet", and also from [[wikipedia: William Barlowe|William Barlowe's]] book, ''Expedition''. Both these creatures float using gas-fillied sacks on their heads, effectively hunt down their targets, and also have general body-shape appearances. | |||
*In this creature's [[Piklopedia]] entry, [[ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] the creature just as it breaks free from another spray makes it possible to freeze it and its bomb rock separately. | |||
== | *On the first floor of the [[Cavern of Chaos]], the Careening Dirigibugs can get stuck in the tubes which were added for decoration. | ||
