The '''Volatile Dweevil''' ({{j|サクレショイグモ|Sakure Shoi Gumo|Exploding Carrier Spider}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. 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 to ''only'' carry bomb-rocks and are never seen without one.

A Volatile Dweevil's bomb-rock will start the countdown fuse as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase [[leader]]s and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] until the bomb-rock explodes, killing itself and anything else caught in the blast. 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. While Volatile Dweevils drop nectars and spray nectars when killed whilst petrified, they will drop nothing in [[2-Player Battle]].

{{naming
"Volatile" means "something that can blow up all of a sudden", which fits the Volatile Dweevil's explosive tendencies. In Japan, it is called {{j|サクレショイグモ|Sakure Shoi Gumo}}, which translates to "Exploding Carrier Spider". Its scientific name, ''Mandarachnia explodus'', has the species name ''explodus'', which is similar to the Latin word ''exploditus'', for explosion. Internally, this enemy is called <code>bombotakara</code>, which is the same name used for all dweevils, but starting with "bomb".
