{{refs|note}}

Hydro Dweevils scurry about randomly and take no note of the presence of any leader or Pikmin if left undisturbed. When provoked one will attempt to defend itself by releasing a pressurized spurt of water below it. Hydro Dweevils are frail creatures and will die quickly if attacked by even a few Pikmin, or by the punches from a leader.

In ''Pikmin 4'', as with all dweevils, the Hydro Dweevil's range of objects it can carry has increased. Any object that is directly carryable by Pikmin, notably useable items from the [[Pack]], can now be carried by the Dweevil. This even includes [[fire starter]]s, although this can only be seen with [[Fiery Dweevil]]s in the [[Giant's Hearth]] in-game. Items that can explode, like [[Bomb Rock]]s or [[Ice Blast]]s can be used by the Dweevil when it has a target in its sights, replicating the ability of the [[Volatile Dweevil]] from ''Pikmin 2''. It should be noted that Dweevils are not immune to the effects of these bombs, and will immediately die or become [[ice|frozen]] as a result of the blast.

*[[Frontier Cavern]]

**Two can be seen on sublevel 5.

**Four can be seen on sublevel 8.

*[[Dweevil Nest]]

**Three can be seen on sublevel 1, each holding a [[Mirth Sphere]].

**One can be seen on sublevel 2, holding a Mirrored Element.

*[[Serene Shores]]

**There is one Hydro Dweevil in this area. It is located towards the northwest of the area, in the section accessible by completing the [[Engulfed Castle]]. In this section, the Dweevil can be found towards the north on the raised section, just past the [[Whiptongue Bulborb]]. It will be carrying the [[Juicy Gaggle]].

*[[Doppelgänger's Den]]

**There are two Hydro Dweevils on sublevel 3. They can both be found towards the southwest, in the oval-shaped section full of water. One of the Dweevils will be in the water and the other Dweevil will be underneath the [[Dusk Pustules]] that are hanging from a cobweb.

*[[Hero's Hideaway]]

**There is one Hydro Dweevil in this tale's area. It is located towards the northeasternmost section of the map, in the raised section just north of the stovetop. This section holds a [[Extraordinary Bolt]] and requires a [[clay mound]] to be built.

[[Blue Pikmin]], [[Bulbmin]], and [[Glow Pikmin]] are technically the safest types to attack a Hydro Dweevil with, as they are all immune to its water blast. In practice, virtually any type of Pikmin squad can swiftly dispatch one, thanks to their extremely low health - a matter made even easier in {{p4}} if you lock onto its head. As with all common Dweevils, [[Purple Pikmin]] are an extremely effective option; a single stomp nearby is guaranteed to stun it, and a direct stomp on its head will inflict enormous damage, almost instantly killing it.

In {{p2}}, if a Hydro Dweevil's health is completely depleted while it is preparing to attack, it will complete its attack first ''before'' dying: Stay wary and be prepared to whistle the water off.

Hydro Dweevils largely cannot hurt leaders; a direct hit from their water blast will stagger and stun them for a moment but will not actually hurt them. Punching them to death is a very simple affair, even more-so with the [[Rocket Fist]], but note that if the Dweevil shakes to knock the leader away, this ''will'' cause extremely minor damage to them if it hits.

{{Notes|olimar=y|louie=y}}

{{transcript|The hydro dweevil is one member of an insect family known for mimicking objects by carrying them on their backs. Several points of differentiation with other members of the species have been confirmed, such as body color and behavioral patterns, but none of these suggest major deviations in the creature's genetic structure. This makes it clear that it is a relative of the family. When attacked by enemies, the hydro dweevil spits out bodily fluids in response. Space suits corrode and oxidize when they come in contact with this liquid.|block=y}}

*The Hydro Dweevil was planned to be included on the [[2-Player Battle]] Roulette Wheel as an enemy, but was eventually removed. It's paired up with the [[Fiery Dweevil]], and it shares its removal with the [[Spotty Bulbear]] and the [[Antenna Beetle]].
