The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakure Urame| | The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakure Urame|Resentful Explosion}}) is an unusual insectoid [[enemy]] in ''Pikmin 2''. It's a legless creature that slowly drifts through the air by utilizing colorful, balloon-like air sacs attached to what can be considered its head. When [[leader]]s or [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] approach, it will produce a [[bomb rock]] from its mouth and attempt to throw it down near them. The bomb rocks thrown by the Careening Dirigibug are not player-exclusive and can damage nearby enemies and [[hazards]]. It is found solely underground, in caves, [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] areas, and the [[Hostile Territory]] in [[2-Player Battle]]. | ||
