The '''Fiery Dweevil''' ({{j|ベニショイグモ|Beni Shoi Gumo|Crimson Carrying Spider}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and {{P4}}. [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] like to pick up treasures and defeated enemies and put them on their bodies. When there is something on their body, they can't be damaged by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s until the body or treasure is taken off. To take it off the body, just [[throw]] Pikmin on the Dweevil's body or [[punch]] it several times. This particular species of Dweevil, when agitated by attacks, will release searing flames that will set Pikmin on fire. This makes [[Red Pikmin]],[[Bulbmin]] or [[Glow Pikmin]] the best choices in battle. However, since [[Purple Pikmin]] can stun any common Dweevil, they will also work well.

===Louie's Notes (Pikmin 4)===

Fiery 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 fire below it. The fire will scatter any attacking Pikmin (excluding Red Pikmin and Bulbmin) and will kill them if they are not whistled back to a leader over a period of time. Fiery Dweevils are frail creatures and will die quickly if attacked by even a few Pikmin, or by the punches from a leader.

Take a decent sized group of Pikmin (preferably Red Pikmin or Bulbmin) and run up to the Dweevil. You should try to position yourself to where the Dweevil will try to turn to. Throw your Pikmin as fast as possible onto the Dweevil while it's still turning, and you should be able to kill it before it can get agitated. If it does attack, make sure no Pikmin are left underneath the creature, to avoid being set ablaze. Alternatively, you could throw a few Purple Pikmin at it, making sure the Pikmin will be able to land on the Dweevil. With four or five Purples, you should be able to kill it without any trouble, especially because Purples always stun Dweevils.

Another strategy is to use [[leader]]s, which is ultimately safer. Run up to it and attack it until it starts glowing. If the [[Scorch Guard]] has already been acquired, keep attacking; if not, run away before it attacks, then run back when the flames extinguish and continue the assault.
