With that in mind, the best way to deal with a Volatile Dweevil is 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. | ||
