==Behavior==
Careening Dirigibugs are always found in caves. They start off slowly drifting around in wide arcs at a similar height to [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s. However, when approached by a Pikmin or [[leader]], a Dirigibug will produce a bomb rock from its mouth in about two seconds. It will then try to approach the Pikmin or leader, and once close enough it will stop to throw the bomb rock on the ground, activating the bomb rock's timer. The bomb can kill Pikmin, damage leaders and enemies, and defeat hazards, but it does not seem to hurt the Dirigibug if it is high enough in the air. However, the bomb rock can still damage the creature while it is grounded. If the Pikmin or leader exits the Dirigibug's territory while it has a bomb, it will continue to hold it for roughly twenty five seconds, until just dropping it anywhere.
