This boss has a rather complex way to defeating it. It has four weapons which double as treasures after it's defeated; the [[Flare Cannon]], [[Shock Therapist]], [[Monster Pump]] and [[Comedy Bomb]], representing the game's four elemental hazards. It will stomp around and act like the various [[Arachnorb]] family members in their manner of stomping, except that it doesn't crush Pikmin because it has no large "feet". After it bobs its head down, it will grab two weapons, but only use one. The color it glows and which arm it raises will indicate the weapon it will use, however. The main point is to attack the weapons. If a weapon gets damaged, it will start smoking and will behave differently when used. The weapon will break off when it receives enough damage. Louie is found on top of it the first time you battle it; the [[Sales Pitch]] on [[King of Bugs|him as a treasure]] suggests that he may somehow be in control of the Dweevil (although if you go back in the dungeon and fight the boss after recuing Louie, it will still attack you if you didn't take the weapons last time). Despite the fact that Olimar should be immune to all hazards by the time you fight this boss, the weapons can still stun him, but do not hurt him.

Note: In case the cave was entered with a mixture of all types of Pikmin, it is advisable to still only attack with Yellows. The other Pikmin should be huddled into a corner, such as behind the geyser outside the 'bowl'. If the Monster Pump is used, the captains should be switched rapidly while blowing the whistle in order to prevent any Pikmin from drowning.
