Dweevil family: Difference between revisions

The Anode Dweevil is yellow and attacks with an [[Electricity|electrical discharge]], which, like other electrical hazards, will immediately electrocute and kill [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] vulnerable to electricity without a chance to save them, thus making it one of the most dangerous common Dweevils. This makes [[Yellow Pikmin]] the best choice in battle against them. Its attack is a bit harmful to leaders unless the [[Dream Material]] has been collected, which grants immunity to [[Electricity|electric attacks]].

The Fiery Dweevil is the most common Dweevil in the game. It is a red Dweevil that, when agitated by attacks, will release searing [[Fire|flames]] that will set nearby Pikmin on fire. This makes [[Red Pikmin]] ideal for combating this creature. It is still able to hurt leaders unless they have obtained the [[Forged Courage]], which makes them immune to [[Fire|fire attacks]].

This light blue/cyan colored dweevil's attack consists of discharging an ice attack, freezing any Pikmin it manages to hit, of course unless Ice Pikmin are used, making them ideal for taking this beast down.

The Venom Dweevil is a new bluish-green dweevil introduced in ''Pikmin 4'', though it shares much with the [[Munge Dweevil]], as it releases poisonous gases on attackers. Also like them, the strategy of using [[White Pikmin]] is recommended.

Volatile Dweevils prefer to carry [[bomb-rock]]s over all other objects; when one sees a [[leader]] or Pikmin, it follows it and the bomb-rock's timer starts. When this detonates, the Dweevil is killed, making the best tactic when confronted with one of these to run away. It is also possible to petrify one with an [[ultra-bitter spray]] and then kill it without it ever exploding. Upon defeat this way, the creature may leave behind [[nectar]], or possibly a spray. These Dweevils commonly drop from ceilings, and it is the only enemy that can die in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] in ''Pikmin 2''.
