Behavior

Iceblown Dweevils are not particularly aggressive creatures, but can be troublesome as they will carry any treasures they can lift. If attacked, they will create a pool of freezing gel which encases any non-Ice Pikmin, requiring the player to call them back.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Ice Pikmin are immune to the Iceblown Dweevil's freezing capabilities, making them ideal to toss onto the Dweevil to remove their carried object. However, because of the Dweevil's low health, it is also feasible to overwhelm and quickly kill them with a large swarm of Pikmin, or have Oatchi ram into them while they are not carrying any objects.
