At first glance, they appear to be [[bomb-rock]]s with legs, but are actually [[Dweevil]]s that have picked up bomb-rocks, much like how other members of the Dweevil family pick up treasures and corpses; unlike other members of that family, Volatile Dweevils are known to ''only'' carry bomb-rocks and are never seen without one. | ||
A Volatile Dweevil's bomb-rock will start the countdown fuse as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until the bomb-rock explodes, killing itself and anything else caught in the blast. With that in mind, the best way to deal with a Volatile Dweevil is simply to run away from it until it blows up. They cannot be directly attacked unless [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], which also freezes the bomb-rock in mid-detonation, making it useful in an emergency. While Volatile Dweevils drop nectars and spray nectars when killed whilst petrified, they will drop nothing in [[2-Player Battle]]. | A Volatile Dweevil's bomb-rock will start the countdown fuse as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until the bomb-rock explodes, killing itself and anything else caught in the blast.
