'''Careening Dirigibugs''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(サクレウラメ) </span>are extremely strange creatures found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. Colorful balloon-like appendages allow them to drift gracefully around their underground territories. Despite their comical appearance, when approached, Dirigibugs pull [[Bomb Rock]]s from their mouths and toss them onto the ground with the intent of blowing Pikmin off the map which makes them quite threatening enemies, especially when trying to carry treasure or deal with other enemies. 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: Olimar and Louie must rapidly throw [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto it while in the air (one [[Purple Pikmin]] also works) and swarm it when it falls.

[[Image:Careeningdirigibug.jpg|thumb|A Careening Dirigibug with a [[bomb-rock]] in its hands.]]


In some dungeons like the Hole of Heroes, a Careening Dirigibug can throw a bomb rock over a barrier when trying to kill your Pikmin on the other side. In the Cavern of Chaos some can get caught in the pipes.
{{Notes|olimar=y|louie=y}}


One glitch that can occur with the Careening Dirigi Bug involves invisible bombs. A captain may activate a bomb while the Dirigi Bug is still holding it, which will cause it to explode while the creature is still holding the bomb.
== Strategy ==
[[File:Careening Dirigibug Glitching|left|thumb|262x262px|"Invisible" Bomb glitch]]
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 [[Group move|swarm]] it when it falls. The creature should be approached from behind if possible, and [[Ultra-Bitter Spray]] is very useful should the enemy be carrying a bomb-rock.
The Careening Dirigi Bug continues the "holding" animation, even when there is no bomb there. It will eventually perform the throwing animation with the bomb that is not there.  


==Battle Strategies==
Without a spray, the creature will throw its bomb a [[Randomness|random]] distance and direction when attacked. Should it land too close to the enemy to be able to make an approach, the player must back off and try again. Alternatively, bring it to the ground then whistle all Pikmin back to safety; then the Dirigibug will take longer to procure a new bomb-rock, leaving it vulnerable once the bomb-rock on the ground has exploded.
Olimar and Louie can also throw Pikmin or, alternatively, a [[purple Pikmin|Purple Pikmin]] onto its underside, which will fling the bomb rock to a random place and can land close or far from the Pikmin. Be warned, if the Purple lands when the bomb rock lands, the bomb rock will instantly detonate. If it lands far away, Olimar and Louie should throw Pikmin onto the creature. If it lands close, Olimar and Louie should retreat as the bomb rock will explode on their Pikmin if they throw. If done correctly, the creature should be defeated in 1 to 3 cycles.


Careending Dirigibugs are also useful in that they can take out other enemies. The player must walk towards an or several enemies, and allow it to follow you. Once you have reached a group of enemies, separate your pikmin so they do not get hurt, and then go around the enemies in the Careening Dirigibug's view, then let it throw a bomb rock in front of you and the enemies. Then you must retreat, and watch the bomb rock as it detonates on the enemies.

Its bomb rock can also be used to kill a Careening Dirigibug, although it can be pretty hard to pull off since the dirigibug is impervious to bomb rock explosions as long as it is airborne (even if it is in the blast radius). To kill the Careending Dirigibug with its bomb rock, you need to let it throw its bomb rock. After waiting the bomb rock to get close to detonation, throw a Pikmin onto the dirigibug, causing it to fall to the ground. Quickly call back the Pikmin to avoid blowing it up. If timed correctly, the bomb rock should explode while the Careening Dirigibug is struggling on the ground.

This page is part of the merge with Pikmin Wiki, and needs resolving. Please bear with us as we do so.

Before the import, this subject had a page both on Pikipedia and Pikmin Wiki. You are currently reading the Pikipedia version, and the Pikmin Wiki version can be found here. Both versions need to be manually merged together and placed on the current page.

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. Despite their comical appearance, when approached, Dirigibugs pull from their mouths bomb-rocks 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.

These beasts are only found underground, which includes caves, Challenge Mode and a single 2-player stage, Hostile Territory.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This creature floats effortlessly through the air using gas-filled balloons. Both its appearance and its nature are antagonistic. And it is the only variant of its species in this ecosystem. It may be best to consider the possibility that it somehow wandered into this ecosystem from an entirely alien one. Positive proof does not exist at this point, but that is how the creature is currently classified.”

Louie's notes

“Pull off the balloonlike air sacs, mince the meaty abdomen, and shape it into small cakes. Pan-sear the cakes until crusted, but be careful not to overcook the delicate meat. When ready to serve, garnish the plate with the vibrant air sacs. Even the most discerning dinner guest will be dazzled by the colorful presentation!”

Strategy

Dirigibugs can be defeated in the same manner as Scarpanids and other flying enemies: rapidly throw Pikmin onto it while in the air (one Purple Pikmin will work just as well), then swarm it when it falls. The creature should be approached from behind if possible, and Ultra-Bitter Spray is very useful should the enemy be carrying a bomb-rock.

Without a spray, the creature will throw its bomb a random distance and direction when attacked. Should it land too close to the enemy to be able to make an approach, the player must back off and try again. Alternatively, bring it to the ground then whistle all Pikmin back to safety; then the Dirigibug will take longer to procure a new bomb-rock, leaving it vulnerable once the bomb-rock on the ground has exploded.
