The Iceblown Dweevil is an enemy in Pikmin 4. It is a bluish-white dweevil that will spray a freezing liquid when attacked, requiring the player to call back any non-Ice Pikmin. Ideally, the player should overwhelm them with large groups of Pikmin, or simply only use Ice Pikmin to deal with them.

Strategy
The following article or section contains guides. |
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.
