The '''Munge Dweevil''' ({{j|ムラサキショイグモ|Murasaki Shoi Gumo|Purple Carrying Spider}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Like other types of [[Dweevil family|Dweevil]], this creature is commonly seen carrying enemy corpses and treasures. When agitated by attacks, it will release a cloud of gas that will poison all nearby [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], excluding [[White Pikmin]] and [[Bulbmin]]. This suitably makes White Pikmin or Bulbmin the best choice in battle, as they are immune to poisoning. Alternatively, as [[Purple Pikmin]] can stun any common Dweevil with a 100% chance, they will defeat one easily. However, one should note that the Munge Dweevil has considerably more [[HP|health]] than its relatives.

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Often the most attractive spiders are the deadliest. The purple Munge Dweevils are nice to look at, but the gas they emit is lethal to most Pikmin. If you have white Pikmin, use the pale troopers to attack a Munge Dweevil's body.|block=y}}

==Behavior==
Munge Dweevils scurry about randomly and take no note of the presence of any leader or Pikmin if left undisturbed. When provoked, one will attempt to defend itself by releasing poisonous gas below it. This poison will scatter all attacking Pikmin, and eventually kill them if they are not whistled back to a [[leader]]. Munge Dweevils are frail creatures (though less frail than all other common Dweevils) and will die somewhat quickly if attacked by even a few Pikmin, or by the punches from a leader.

When a treasure or a corpse of another creature is nearby, a Munge Dweevil will lift it up onto its head and carry it, making it impossible for Pikmin to collect until it is broken free. When a Dweevil has an item in its possession, it will stay at rest, crouching down, appearing as if it is only the item, until it is approached by a leader or Pikmin, at which point it will stand up and run away.

==Strategy==
{{guide}}
Attack it with White Pikmin or Bulbmin. Aim precisely to kill it quickest, as it moves constantly and has a very small head, which is the weak point. Another way is to grab a large load of [[Red Pikmin]] and swarm it. It will die in seconds. If it, for some reason, is able to attack (even if it dies, if it has started its attack, the animation will continue), whistle back the Pikmin, as they will easily be harmed by the poison that is emitted directly beneath the creature's head.

If White Pikmin or Bulbmin are not available, it's best to kill it with leaders. Purples also work, as they have a hundred percent chance of stunning any small Dweevil.

Using leaders is ultimately the safest strategy, as poison poses no threat to them whatsoever. Run up to it and attack it, and just keep punching until the creature is dead; don't even run when it attacks; it's harmless.

If you [[lie down]], the Dweevil will pick you up and you can ride around on its back for a while. When you are ready to kill it, just press {{button|gc|a|wii|a}} to kick its head and stun it. Then, just [[punch]] it to death. This works for any small [[Dweevil]].

==Naming==

{{naming
|common     = Munge Dweevil. "Munge" may be a corruption of the word "mung", which refers to something that is filthy or the act of creating filth.
|jpcommon   = {{j|ムラサキショイグモ|Murasaki Shoi Gumo}}. It is the same as the name of all minor dweevils, but starting with {{j|ムラサキ|murasaki|purple|f=tp}}, given that the spider is in fact the only purple member of the family.
|jpname     = {{j|セオイカナエグモ|Seoi Kanae Gumo|Carrying {{w|Ding (vessel)|Ding}} Spider}}.  It is shared with the [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery]], [[Anode Dweevil|Anode]], [[Caustic Dweevil|Caustic]] and [[Volatile Dweevil]]s.
|scientific = ''Mandarachnia pungetis''. ''Pungetis'' is similar to the English word "pungent", which is a word used to describe particularly strong or sharp smells.
|internal   = Internally, it is called <code>gasotakara</code>, which is a combination of "gas" (because of its poison gas) and "otakara", which means "treasure".
