-The '''Volatile Dweevil''' is an enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. They resemble walking [[bomb rocks]], but are actually [[dweevils]] that have picked up bomb rocks (and probably adhered to them, seeing as to how they are not free to put down objects or pick anymore up like normal dweevils). Unlike other members of the same family, they will start to detonate as soon as they start walking. They are also known to drop from ceilings. The only way to kill it is to run and wait for it to detonate. However, never run into a corner. An [[ultra-bitter spray]] may be used to petrify it and then kill it, this will reward [[Olimar]] with [[nectar]] or [[spray]]s.
+The '''Volatile Dweevil''' is an enemy in [[Pikmin 2]]. At first glance they appear to be [[bomb-rock]]s with legs, but are actually [[Dweevils]] 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 ''only'' to carry bomb-rocks, and are never seen without one.
+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. With that in mind, the best way to deal with a Volatile Dweevil simply to run away from it until it blows up. They cannot be directly attacked unless [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], which also freezes the bomb-rock in mid-detonation, making it useful in an emergency but often impractical because it wastes a [[spray]] on an enemy which will drop no corpse.
+In terms of gameplay, Volatile Dweevils are more-so hazards than enemies. They can unexpectedly drop form the ceiling and are often found around treasures, making them extremely dangerous to Pikmin attempting to retrieve the treasure.
 ==Half Activated Dweevil==
-Start up the Piklopedia. Then go to the Volatile Dweevil archive. First [[ultra-bitter spray|petrify]] it, then wait. Right before it breaks free, petrify it again. If it is done correctly, only the head ([[Bomb rocks|bomb rock]]) of the Dweevil should be turned into stone. Throw [[Pikpik carrot]]s at it, and if they hit it, it will wake up, but the bomb rock won't activate. Before the rock breaks free, petrify the Dweevil, and only the body will be petrified, but the bomb rock will activate. The bomb rock may even explode and kill the petrified Dweevil.
