The '''Caustic Dweevil''' is a kind of enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. This Dweevil picks up any treasure or enemy body it can find. Caustic means corrosive, and this may portend to the fact it releases water. It is a blue dweevil that when agitated by attacks, it well release a blast of water that will attempt to drown out your Pikmin. This suitably makes [[Blue Pikmin]] the best choice in battle. Also since [[Purple Pikmin]] can stun any small Dweevil, they will also work well.

Pikmin

Throw Pikmin on its small head. Although it can harm non-Blue Pikmin, it is weak enough that it often dies before getting a chance to attack, and its attack does not kill Pikmin instantly, allowing them to be whistled to safety by a captain if they do come into contact with it. Purple Pikmin are particularly useful in defeating large numbers of smaller Dweevils with ease, since they stun when thrown, halting any enemy attacks, usually until death.

Captains

Run up to it and punch it until it begins its attacking animation, leaving plenty of time to run away before it attacks. Run back and continue the assault when the acid stops.
