The '''Dweevil family''' is a species of enemies found only in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that resemble spiders. All members are known to collect [[Treasure Hoard|treasures]], bodies of dead [[:Category:Enemies|creatures]] and other objects in order to mimic them or use them for some other purpose. Most possess [[hazards|elemental]] attacks, which they do not use unless aggravated, and they are only found [[Cave|underground]]. The size of smaller Dweevils' bodies make landing a Pikmin on them difficult; they are most easily defeated using [[Purple Pikmin]], which can stun the beasts without landing on them and home in on enemies when thrown. Another easy way to kill all of them (except the Titan Dweevil) is to continually punch them (once for the Volatile Dweevil). This provides a quick and easy way to kill them. Note: if you can be hurt by the element it uses, avoid all of it's attacks.


== Anode Dweevil ==

[[Image:Anodedweevil.jpg|left|130px]]
{{main|Anode Dweevil}}
The Anode Dweevil is yellow and attacks with an [[hazards#Electricity|electrical discharge]], which, like other hazards, will immediately electrocute and kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] vulnerable to electricity without a chance to save them, thus making it one of the most dangerous common Dweevils. This makes [[Yellow Pikmin]] the best choice in battle against them.

== Caustic Dweevil ==
[[Image:Causticdweevil.jpg|left|100px]]
{{main|Caustic Dweevil}}
This is a blue Dweevil which, when agitated by attacks, releases a blast of acidic bodily fluid in an attempt to drown attacking Pikmin. Therefore, [[Blue Pikmin]] are best suited to defeating Caustic Dweevils. Caustic Dweevils can knock captains down, causing minor damage to captains, but their low health and weak attacks mean they pose no real threat to them.

== Fiery Dweevil ==
{{main|Fiery Dweevil}}
[[Image:Fierydweevil.jpg|left|170px]]
The Fiery Dweevil is the most common Dweevil in the game. It is a red Dweevil that, when agitated by attacks, will release searing [[Hazards#Fire|flames]] that will set nearby Pikmin on fire. This makes [[Red Pikmin]] the best choice in battle.

== Munge Dweevil ==
{{main|Munge Dweevil}}
[[Image:Munge-dweevil.jpg|left|172px]]
The [[Munge Dweevil]] is a purple Dweevil that releases a [[hazards#Poison gas|poisonous gas]] when attacked; this poisons any Pikmin that are not immune to it, making [[White Pikmin]] the best choice when fighting these creatures. However, since captains have air filters, they can be beaten easily without Pikmin.

== Volatile Dweevil ==
{{main|Volatile Dweevil}}
[[Image:Volatiledweevil.jpg|left|135px]]
Volatile Dweevils prefer to carry [[Bomb Rock]]s over all other objects; when one sees a [[captain]] or Pikmin, it follows it and the bomb rock's timer starts. When this detonates, the Dweevil is killed, making the best tactic when confronted with one of these to run away. It is also possible to petrify one with an [[Ultra-bitter spray]] and then kill it without it ever exploding. You will at least get nectar, or possibly spray. These Dweevils commonly drop from ceilings and are one of the only enemies that can die in the [[Piklopedia]].
{{clear}}
 
== Titan Dweevil ==
{{main|Titan Dweevil}}
[[Image:Titandweevil.jpg|left|170px]]
The [[Titan Dweevil]] is the last and final boss in Pikmin 2. It is by far the largest of all known Dweevils, and can only attack using the four treasures it has picked up and its arms, the latter of which do no damage. It is found on the final [[sublevel]] of [[Dream Den]], where [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]] and [[the President]] find [[Captain Louie|Louie]] sitting on top of a mound of treasure. When they approach the mound, however, it reveals itself as the head of the Titan Dweevil and starts to attack.

==Trivia==
 
*When a captain uses the [[Napsack]] near a Dweevil, it is possible the Dweevil picks him up to mimic him. However, because it runs away from captains, it won't sit still once it grabs one of them.
*The name dweevil is an alteration of the word ''weevil'', an insect they closely resemble.
