Possibly the toughest weapon to avoid (unless you're using the yellow only strategy), it's the only weapon that kills on contact with the attack. When used, it will spit out eight electrical "nodes" that will activate after a delay and form multiple arcs of electricity between them that electrocute all Pikmin that touch them. This attack won't damage the leaders if they have the [[Dream Material]], but will still knock them down. Keep the Pikmin in a tight group to avoid getting electrified. When this weapon is damaged, the nodes will activate the moment they are released and may move while activated.

This weapon may actually reach a bit beyond the Titan Dweevil's arena on rare occasions, sometimes even hitting and bouncing on the exit [[geyser]], so it is advised to keep the Pikmin beyond the geyser. The [[Yellow Pikmin]] are immune to this weapon.

While not the easiest attack to avoid it is  definitively easier than it seems.When this weapon is used, it spits out blasts of water that will get latched onto the Pikmin's heads and suffocate them. When the weapon is damaged, it will spit out water at a faster rate. This weapon's range extends beyond the circular arena where the Titan Dweevil is fought, so be sure to protect the Pikmin that are not fighting. Because of this, the player should get rid of this one first. The [[Blue Pikmin]] are immune to this weapon. Each bubble casts a shadow, making it easier to tell where it will land.

*Though compared to spiders, the Titan Dweevil may be designed after the {{w|Japanese spider crab}}, a crab famous in Japan for having the largest leg span of all crab species. The Titan Dweevil possesses a similar body structure with its round torso, long legs, and small pincers, and its vulnerable form shows a crab-like exoskeleton.
