Careening Dirigibugs are extremely strange and alien creatures. They float like Swooping and Bumbling Snitchbugs but are called Dirigibugs. They have balloon-like attachments that allow them to fly or hover around. When you approach them, they take a bomb-rock from inside their body and throw it to the ground. The reason for this behaviour is unknown, however. They are defeated in the same way as Scarpanids: just throw Pikmin and take them down, watching out for their bomb-rocks in the process. It could be based off of Tingle from The Legend of Zelda games.

Olimar's Notes

This creature floats effortlessly through the air using gas-filled balloons. Both its appearance and its nature are antagonistic. And it is the only variant of its species in the ecosystem. It may be best to consider the possibility that it somehow wandered into the ecosystem from an entirely alien one. Positive proof does not exist at this point, but that is how the creature is currently classified.

Louie's Notes

Pull off the balloon-like air sacs, mince the meaty abdomen, and shape it into small cakes. Pan-sear the cakes until crusted, but be careful not to overcook the delicate meat. When ready to serve, garnish the plate with the vibrant air sacs. Even the most disconcerting dinner guest will be dazzled by the colorful presentation!
