The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakure Urame| | The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakure Urame|Resentful Explosion}}) is an unusual insectoid [[enemy]] in ''Pikmin 2''. Careening Dirigibugs are legless creatures that slowly drift through the air by utilizing colorful, balloon-like air sacs attached to what can be considered to be their heads. When [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach, they will produce [[bomb rock]]s from their mouths and attempt to throw them down. The bomb rocks thrown by the Careening Dirigibugs are not player-exclusive and can damage nearby enemies and [[hazard]]s. They are found solely underground, in caves, [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] areas, and the [[Hostile Territory]] in [[2-Player Battle]]. | ||

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. | |||

The Careening Dirigibug (サクレウラメ?, lit.: "Resentful Explosion") is an unusual insectoid enemy in Pikmin 2. Careening Dirigibugs are legless creatures that slowly drift through the air by utilizing colorful, balloon-like air sacs attached to what can be considered to be their heads. When leaders or Pikmin approach, they will produce bomb rocks from their mouths and attempt to throw them down. The bomb rocks thrown by the Careening Dirigibugs are not player-exclusive and can damage nearby enemies and hazards. They are found solely underground, in caves, Challenge Mode areas, and the Hostile Territory in 2-Player Battle.

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!”
Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide[edit]
“It's a wonder that a creature with such festive-looking balloons can be so dangerous, but the Careening Dirigibug is bad. It produces bomb-rocks and drops them into crowds. Keep your Pikmin clear of the fallen rocks, and hit the Dirigibugs by flinging troops at them between bombing runs.”
Behavior[edit]
Careening Dirigibugs are always found in caves. They start off slowly drifting around in wide arcs at a similar height to Swooping Snitchbugs. 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.
Strategy[edit]
|
The following article or section contains guides. |
Careening Dirigibugs can be defeated in the same manner as Scarpanids and other flying enemies: rapidly throw Pikmin onto it while in the air, then swarm it when it falls. Like members of the Scarpanid family, the Careening Dirigibug can shake off Pikmin up to four times before dropping, but a Purple Pikmin will ground them immediately. Approach the creature from behind if possible, and use ultra-bitter spray if it is carrying a bomb-rock.
Unless it's petrified, the creature will throw its bomb a random distance in front of it when attacked. Should the bomb land too close to the Dirigibug, it is safest to back off and attack after the bomb has exploded. With speed you can accomplish this before the Dirigibug can produce a new bomb.
Careening Dirigibugs are useful in that they can take out other enemies. You can lure it into throwing a bomb-rock in front of you and the enemies, and then run off.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
The Careening Dirigibug appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
|
Description:
“A dangerous, offensive-minded creature. It uses balloons to keep it afloat as it flies through the air and drops bomb-rocks on ground-bound prey. These bomb-rocks sometimes turn out to be duds, but since the slightest stimulus can set these things off, the ultimate care should be taken with them.
| |
| How to obtain: Random appearance. | Type: Fighter Related | |
Glitches[edit]
|
This article or section needs to be cleaned up, either its format or general style. |
- There is a rare glitch where one can be seen floating without balloons.
- In some dungeons like the Hole of Heroes, a Careening Dirigibug can throw a bomb rock over a barrier when trying to kill Pikmin on the other side. On the first floor of the Cavern of Chaos, some can get caught in the pipes.
- One glitch that can occur with the Careening Dirigibug involves invisible bombs. A leader may activate a bomb while the Dirigibug is still holding it, which will cause it to explode while the creature is still holding the bomb. The Careening Dirigibug continues the "holding" animation, even when there is no bomb there. It will eventually perform the throwing animation without the bomb.[1]
- In the Piklopedia, petrifying it just as it breaks free from another spray makes it possible to freeze it and its bomb-rock separately.

Naming[edit]

Trivia[edit]
- The Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy description details that Careening Dirigibugs occasionally throw dud bomb-rocks, which is not true in Pikmin 2. This could be referring to the inactive bomb-rocks usually found near the creatures, an earlier version of Pikmin 2 that had this behavior, or it could just be a mistake. A glitch does exist where bomb-rocks stay stuck and never explode, but it is unlikely that this is what the trophy was referring to.
- Every sublevel has a limit on how many bomb-rocks it can have. If a Careening Dirigibug's bomb rocks are petrified such that they stay active as the creature creates more, it will fail to spit out a new one once the limit has been reached.[2]
- The Careening Dirigibugs bear a strange resemblance to the Eosapiens from the documentary "Alien Planet", and also from Wayne Barlowe's book, Expedition. Both these creatures float using gas-filled sacks on their heads, effectively hunt down their targets, and also have generally similar body shapes.
- The Careening Dirigibug's balloons aren't spherical and are actually dome shaped. Pikmin 2 changes the orientation of the balloons to face the camera so that they look spherical during runtime.
