The Fiery Dweevil (ベニショイグモ) is an enemy in Pikmin 2. Dweevils like to pick up treasures and defeated enemies and put them on their bodies. When there is something on their body, they can't be damaged by Pikmin or the captains until the body or treasure is taken off. To take it off the body, just throw Pikmin on the Dweevil's body or punch it several times. This particular species of dweevil, when agitated by attacks, will release searing flames that will set Pikmin on fire. This makes Red Pikmin the best choice in battle. Also since Purple Pikmin can stun and home in on any small Dweevil, they will also work well.

Notes

Olimar's Notes

"Members of the dweevil family are known for carrying objects of astounding size on their backs, then mimicking them. The fiery dweevil is one species in this family. Generally, this is a very gentle insect that feeds on grass nectars, but when faced with danger the fiery dweevil ignites flammable internal gasses, juts out its jaw, and spews scorching flames. As this clearly makes it a rather dangerous insect, it is best not to linger directly in front of it."

Louie's Notes

"The search for a gourmet, high-protein salad-topping alternative to bacon bits is over! Grind this spicy dweevil into tasty micro-chunks and toss them generously over your salad to add instant flair AND flavor!"

Nintendo Player's Guide

"Flame-generating Dweevils set non-red Pikmin on fire with their attacks and send them running in all directions. The best way to beat them is to use fire-resistant attackers. Carefully aim then hurl red Pikmin at the Dweevils' bodies and keep attacking until they're toast."
