Iceblown Dweevil

The Iceblown Dweevil is an enemy in. It is a bluish-white dweevil that will spray a freezing liquid when attacked, requiring the player to call back any non-Ice Pikmin. Ideally, the player should overwhelm them with large groups of Pikmin, or simply only use Ice Pikmin to deal with them.

Behavior
Iceblown Dweevils are not particularly aggressive creatures, but can be troublesome as they will carry any treasures they can lift. If attacked, they will create a pool of freezing gel which encases any non-Ice Pikmin, requiring the player to call them back.

Locations

 * Subzero Sauna
 * Hero's Hideaway

Strategy
Ice Pikmin are immune to the Iceblown Dweevil's freezing capabilities, making them ideal to toss onto the Dweevil to remove their carried object. However, because of the Dweevil's low health, it is also feasible to overwhelm and quickly kill them with a large swarm of Pikmin, or have Oatchi ram into them while they are not carrying any objects.

Trivia

 * Iceblown Dweevils can carry Ice Blasts with the only ill effects to themselves being a one second stun when it explodes. This is never used in game, only in the Piklopedia when throwing an Ice Blast at them using Pebble Pitcher or the Item Inventory.
