The '''Caustic Dweevil''' is a member of the [[Dweevil]] family, a non-aggressive [[enemy]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that attacks in self-defense. As is typical of Dweevils, it picks up any [[treasure]] or enemy body it can find, only releasing it when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attack. The only offensive measure the beast can take is spraying an acidic bodily fluid on enemies, which drowns all Pikmin types except [[Blue Pikmin|blue ones]] and [[Bulbmin]], making them the best choice in battle against it.

==Strategy==
====Pikmin====
[[Throw]] Pikmin on their small heads. Although they can harm non-Blue Pikmin, they are weak and often die before getting a chance to attack at all, and this does not kill Pikmin instantly, allowing them to be whistled to safety by a [[captain]] if they do come into contact with it. [[Purple Pikmin]] are particularly useful in defeating large numbers of smaller Dweevils with ease, since they stun when thrown, halting any enemy attacks, usually until death.

====Captains====
Run up to it and punch it until it begins its attacking animation, leaving plenty of time to run away before it attacks. Run back and continue the assault when the acid stops.

==Trivia==
*The Caustic Dweevil was planned to be included on the [[2-Player Battle]] Roulette Wheel as an enemy, but was eventually removed. It's paired up with the [[Fiery Dweevil]], and it shares its removal with the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and the [[Antenna Beetle]].
