'''Hydro Dweevils''' ({{j|ルリショイグモ|Ruri Shoi Gumo|Lapis Lazuli Carrying Spider}}), called '''Caustic Dweevils''' in the GameCube and Wii versions of ''Pikmin 2'', are [[enemy|enemies]] in {{p2}} and {{p4}}. Non-aggressive members of the [[dweevil family]], they pick up any [[treasure]] or enemy corpses they can find, only releasing when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] interfere, at which point they will attack by spraying [[water]], which suffocates and drowns all Pikmin types except [[Blue Pikmin]], [[Bulbmin]] and [[Glow Pikmin]], making those the best choice in battle against them.

When a treasure or a corpse of another creature is nearby, a Hydro Dweevil will lift it up onto its head and carry it, making it impossible for Pikmin to collect until it is broken free. When a Dweevil has an item in its possession, it will stay at rest, crouching down, appearing as if it is only the item, until it is approached by a leader or Pikmin, at which point it will stand up and run away.

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.
