The '''Caustic Dweevil''' ({{j|ルリショイグモ|Ruri Shoi Gumo|Lapis Lazuli Carrying Spider}}) is a member of the [[Dweevil]] family, a non-aggressive [[enemy]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that attacks in self-defense. As is typical of Dweevils, it picks up any [[treasure]] or enemy corpse it can find, only releasing it when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] attack. The only offensive measure the beast can take is spraying an acidic bodily fluid that functions identically to [[water]], meaning it chokes and drowns all Pikmin types except [[Blue Pikmin|blue ones]] and [[Bulbmin]], making those the best choice in battle against it. | The '''Caustic Dweevil''' ({{j|ルリショイグモ|Ruri Shoi Gumo|Lapis Lazuli Carrying Spider}}) is a member of the [[Dweevil]] family, a non-aggressive [[enemy]] found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' that attacks in self-defense.
