At first glance they appear to be [[Bomb Rock]]s with legs, but are actually [[Dweevil]]s that have picked up bomb-rocks, much like how other members of the Dweevil family pick up treasures and corpses; unlike other members of that family, Volatile Dweevils are known ''only'' to carry bomb-rocks, and are never seen without one. | ||
A Volatile Dweevil's | A Volatile Dweevil's Bomb Rock will start the count-down fuse as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase [[captain]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until the bomb explodes, killing itself and anything else caught in the blast. With that in mind, the best way to deal with a Volatile Dweevil 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. | ||

Start up the [[Piklopedia]]. Then go to the Volatile Dweevil archive. First [[Ultra-bitter Spray|petrify]] it, then wait. Right before it breaks free, petrify it again. If it is done correctly, Bomb Rock should be turned into stone. Throw [[Pikpik Carrot]]s at it, and if they hit it, it will wake up, but the bomb-rock won't activate. Before the rock breaks free, petrify the Dweevil, and only the body will be petrified, but the bomb-rock will activate. The bomb-rock may even explode and kill the petrified Dweevil. | |||
