As with most Dweevils, Venom Dweevils will attempt to pick up and carry nearby treasures, corpses, and Castaways; it is often necessary to defeat them in order to obtain certain [[treasure]]s, or to prevent them from interrupting transit. If left alone after it picks up something, it will hide under it, only moving when Pikmin or a Leader approach. On top of being able to carry these items, Venom Dweevils (and all other Dweevils) can actually carry any object that is directly carryable by Pikmin, notably useable items from the [[Pack]], can be carried by the Dweevil. This even includes Firestarters, although this can only be seen with [[Fiery Dweevil]] | As with most Dweevils, Venom Dweevils will attempt to pick up and carry nearby treasures, corpses, and Castaways; it is often necessary to defeat them in order to obtain certain [[treasure]]s, or to prevent them from interrupting transit.

This even includes Firestarters, although this can only be seen with [[Fiery Dweevil|Fiery Dweevils]] in [[Giant's Hearth]] ingame. Items that can explode, like [[Bomb rock|Bomb Rocks]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]] can be used by the Dweevil when it has a target in its sights, replicating the ability of the [[Volatile Dweevil]] from ''Pikmin 2''. It should be noted that Dweevils are not immune to the effects of these bombs, and will immediately die or become [[ice|frozen]] as a result of the blast. This can be directly observed ingame in the [[Engulfed Castle]], where Venom Dweevils spawn holding Bomb Rocks. | ||
They are largely passive to Pikmin, and will attempt to run away from them, only attacking in self-defense. If provoked by attacks, they will defend themselves by emitting a cloud of toxic gas. This gas will poison any non-[[White Pikmin]] and will additionally poison Oatchi if he does not have his {{oatchi|Sniff Saver}} upgrade, requiring the player to [[whistle]] to save them. | They are largely passive to Pikmin, and will attempt to run away from them, only attacking in self-defense.

{{transcript|Is this just another different color of Dweevil? Not at all. You see here a fashion leader of the critter world. There was once a [[Munge Dweevil|purple one]] as well, but this year's trendy color is green. Be sure to bring protective gear to see it though! This skittering sweetie can produce a toxic gas if threatened.|block=y}} | |||

These insects often carry the carcasses of other life-forms on their backs. Apparently this is not for the purpose of transporting them as food but instead is another example of their mimic behavior. | These insects often carry the carcasses of other life-forms on their backs.

{{transcript|Exposure to even extreme heat doesn't seem to rid this creature of deposits of potent gas. It's probably best for everyone if you avoid eating this hazardous fare. | {{transcript|Exposure to even extreme heat doesn't seem to rid this creature of deposits of potent gas.
