Behavior
When alone, Gildemandwees waddle around slowly. When noticing the player or Pikmin, Gildemandwees start waddling quickly towards the intended target. To attack, the Gildemandwees use their tongues to lick up Pikmin to eat. When the Gildemandwee loses sight of the target it will stop in its tracks, look side to side and then resume slowly waddling.
If a player chucks Pikmin onto the gold stone on their back they will eventually shake them off if the Pikmin don't take the stone off. When the gold stone falls after being attacked, Gildemandwees get slightly dazed before rushing over to the stone. Using its tongue, it will flip the stone back onto its back. If the gold stone is destroyed before it can put it back onto its back, it will still continue to try and attack its target, now with an exposed weak spot. If a Gildemandwee is defeated, it will stick out its tongue and flip on its back.
Appearance
Gildemandwees have brown bodies, white belly, black beady eyes and stubby limbs. They some-what resemble real-world salamanders. On its forehead is a dangling lantern, similar to angler fish, with a pulsing yellow light. On its back is a gold-colored stone that the Gildemandwee use to protect the weak spot underneath the stone. If exposed, the weak spot is a red lump that shatters upon defeat. If the gold stone is destroyed whilst the Gildemandwee is still alive, the lantern turns off.
Gildemandwee's are actually the baby forms of Gildemanders, although unlike their adult counterparts, only have one gold chunk and can't effectively use their antennas to control Pikmin.

Notes
Dalmo's notes
Olimar's notes
“Immediately after hatching, this species presents itself in a gilled, tadpole-like form and grows its legs after about a week.
This juvenile Gildemander specimen is estimated to be about a month old due to the presence of an ore-like growth on its back and the fact that it has already emerged onto land.
