The '''Volatile Dweevil''' (サクレショイグモ, ''Sakureshoigumo'', '''Sakureshoi Spider''') is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. At first glance, they appear to be [[bomb-rock]]s with legs, but are actually [[Dweevil]]s that have picked up bomb-rocks, much like how other members of the Dweevil family pick up treasures and corpses; unlike other members of that family, Volatile Dweevils are known to ''only'' carry bomb-rocks, and are never seen without one. | The '''Volatile Dweevil''' (サクレショイグモ, ''Sakureshoigumo'', '''Sakureshoi Spider''') is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

A Volatile Dweevil's bomb-rock will start the count-down fuse as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase [[captain]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until the bomb explodes, killing itself and anything else caught in the blast.

In terms of gameplay, Volatile Dweevils are more-so hazards than enemies. They can unexpectedly drop from the ceiling and are often found around treasures, making them extremely dangerous to Pikmin attempting to retrieve the treasure. | In terms of gameplay, Volatile Dweevils are more-so hazards than enemies.
