'''Munge Dweevil'''
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|Dweevils]], Munge Dweevils are commonly seen carrying enemy corpses and treasures. When agitated by attacks, they will release clouds 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.


'''''Mandarachnia pungetis'''''
In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', due to the changed color of the [[poison]] hazard, they are replaced by the differently colored but functionally identical [[Venom Dweevil]], though it lacks the Munge Dweevil's increased health.


The '''Munge Dweevil''' is a kind of enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. This Dweevil is commonly seen retrieving bug bodies and treasures. It is a purple/pink dweevil that when agitated by attacks, it will release poisonous gases that will poison your Pikmin. This suitably makes [[White Pikmin]] the best choice in battle. Also since [[Purple Pikmin]] can stun any small Dweevil, they will also work well.

== Olimar's Notes ==
{{refs|note}}
The Munge Dweevil is one member of an insect family known for mimicking objects
by carrying them on their backs. These insects often carry the carcasses of
other life-forms on their backs, but apparently this is not for the purpose of
transporting them as food, but instead is another example of their mimic
behavior. The Munge Dweevil produces two different chemical compounds within
its body, which form poisonous gas when mixed and expelled. This gas is only
used for self-defense.


== Louie's Notes ==
{{Notes|olimar=y|louie=y}}
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.
==How to Kill==
[[Image:Munge-dweevil.jpg|thumb|left|A frightening view of a Munge Dweevil.]]
====Pikmin====
Attack it with whites. If you don't have White Pikmin, it's probably better to kill it with your captains. Purples also work as they have a hundred percent chance of stunning any small Dweevil.
====Captains====
Run up to it and attack it. Don't worry though, Olimar and Louie/the President are already immune to poison.


[[Category:Dweevils]]
===''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}}
===Pikmin===
It's safest to attack with [[White Pikmin]] or, if available, [[Bulbmin]], as they are immune to their gas attack. Swarming them with either of these is a reasonable strategy that guarantees the safety of your Pikmin. A faster, if slightly riskier strategy, is to use [[Purple Pikmin]]; they are guaranteed to stun Dweevils with their pound, and a direct stomp to their head will do massive damage.
 
Swarming it with a large group of Pikmin regardless of type will also quickly kill it. Just be prepared to whistle, as the creature may still get an attack off before it dies.
===Leaders===
Simply [[punch]] the Dweevil to death. Both leaders are completely immune to poison, even without upgrades, meaning that the creature poses zero danger to them. Munge Dweevils, however, do have the most health out of the common Dweevil species, meaning that it may take a while without the [[Rocket Fist]].
 
Using the [[Napsack]] to lay down near any Dweevil species will potentially make them pick up the sleeping leader, humorously allowing them to "ride" the Dweevil. When you are ready to kill it, just press {{button|gc|a|wii|a|switch|a}} to kick its head and stun it. Then, just [[punch]] it to death. This works for any small [[Dweevil]].

{{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]], [[Hydro Dweevil|Hydro]], [[Iceblown Dweevil|Iceblown]], [[Venom Dweevil|Venom]] 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".
