Talk:Hydro Dweevil

It doesn't spit acidic body fluid! or else the acid would kill ANY type of pikmin! NIN10DUDE

"When attacked by enemies, the Caustic Dweevil spits out bodily fluids in response. Space suits corrode and oxidize when they come into contact with this highly acidic liquid."

From Olimar's notes. I know what you mean, but it's kind of hard to argue with that. —Jimbo Jambo 05:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

good point. can't argue with the games facts... NIN10DUDE

Still there is my theory of blue pikmin having a chemical on there skin that protects them from certain acids.--Prof. 02:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

That's possbible. It may even be that all Pikmin have that trait, and that it somehow helps them survive, since other types of Pikmin drown before we can actually witness them being dissolved, and I can't really image why Blues would need such a defense and other Pikmin wouldn't. Unfortunately I'm no expert on corrosive chemicals and their role in biology, but it might even be that captain's spacesuits are simply more vulnerable to corrosion by acid than Pikmin skin is. —Jimbo Jambo 19:19, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
