The '''Dweevil family''' is the species of enemies in the [[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]] that look like small spiders. They pick up bodies of dead creatures or treasures to mimic them. The most famous member of the species is the [[Titan Dweevil]]. The name may be derived from the real life insect, a ''[[wikipedia:Weevil|weevil]]'', which however looks more like a beetle.

The [[Caustic Dweevil]] is a kind of enemy in the Pikmin 2 game. This Dweevil picks up any treasure or enemy body it can find. Caustic means corrosive, and this may portend to the fact it releases water. It is a blue dweevil that when agitated by attacks, it well release a blast of water that will attempt to drown out your Pikmin. This suitably makes Blue Pikmin the best choice in battle. Also since Purple Pikmin can stun any small Dweevil, they will also work well.

The [[Fiery Dweevil]] is an enemy in Pikmin 2. It is the most common dweevil in the game. Dweevils like to pick up treasures and defeated enemies and put them on their bodies. When there is something on their body, they can't be damaged by Pikmin or pilots until the body or treasure is taken off. To take off the body, you just have to throw Pikmin on the Dweevil's body or punch it many times. It is a red dweevil that, when agitated by attacks, will release searing flames that will catch your Pikmin on fire. This makes Red Pikmin the best choice in battle. Also since Purple Pikmin can stun any small Dweevil, they will also work well.
