The Volatile Dweevil is a kind of enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. They resemble walking bomb-rocks except that they are dweevils. Unlike other Dweevils, they will start to detonate as soon as they start walking. They are also known to drop from ceilings. The only way to kill it is to run and wait for it to detonate. However, never run into a corner. If you are in peril you may use ultra-bitter spray to petrify it and then kill it. You will at least get nectar, or possibly spray.

In battle mode if the roulette wheel lands on Volatile Dweevil you can drop one on the enemy at any time by pushing Y. This is a good idea if your enemy is in the middle of plucking Pikmin.
