'''Careening Dirigibugs''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakureurame}}) are extremely strange creatures in ''Pikmin 2''. Colorful balloon-like appendages allow them to drift gracefully around. Despite their comical appearance, when approached, Dirigibugs pull from their mouths [[bomb-rock]]s and toss them onto the ground with the intent of blowing Pikmin off the map. This can be taken advantage of to damage other enemies.
The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakureurame}}) is unusual insectoid creature in ''Pikmin 2''. It is a legless creature that drifts through the air by utilizing colorful, balloonlike air sacs attached to what can be considered the head of the beast. Though they do not actively seek out targets, it will produce a [[bomb-rock]] from its mouth and toss them onto the ground with violent intent when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. The bomb-rocks tossed by the Careening Dirigibug are not player exclusive and can damage nearby enemies and [[hazards]]. It is found solely underground, which includes caves, [[Challenge Mode]] areas and a single [[:Category:2-Player Battle locations|2-Player Battle stage]], [[Hostile Territory]].

*In some dungeons like the Hole of Heroes, a Careening Dirigibug can throw a bomb rock over a barrier when trying to kill your Pikmin on the other side. On the first floor of the [[Cavern of Chaos]], some can get caught in the pipes.

*One glitch that can occur with the Careening Dirigibug involves invisible bombs. A captain may activate a bomb while the Dirigibug is still holding it, which will cause it to explode while the creature is still holding the bomb. The Careening Dirigibug continues the "holding" animation, even when there is no bomb there. It will eventually perform the throwing animation with the bomb that is not there. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itwEZlwcbcw YouTube video] showing the invisible bomb-rock glitch.</ref>
 
*In this creature's [[Piklopedia]] entry, [[ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] it just as it breaks free from another spray makes it possible to freeze it and its bomb-rock separately.
