The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakureurame}}) is unusual insectoid creature in ''Pikmin 2''. It is a legless creature that drifts through the air by utilizing colorful, balloonlike air sacs attached to what can be considered the head of the beast. Though they do not actively seek out targets, it will produce a [[bomb-rock]] from its mouth and toss them onto the ground with violent intent when a [[leader]] or [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]]. The bomb-rocks tossed by the Careening Dirigibug are not player exclusive and can damage nearby enemies and [[hazards]]. It is found solely underground, which includes caves, [[Challenge Mode]] areas and a single [[:Category:2-Player Battle locations|2-Player Battle stage]], [[Hostile Territory]]. | The '''Careening Dirigibug''' ({{j|サクレウラメ|Sakureurame}}) is unusual insectoid creature in ''Pikmin 2''.

Dirigibugs can be defeated in the same manner as [[Scarpanid]]s and other flying enemies: rapidly [[throw]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto it while in the air (one [[Purple Pikmin]] will work just as well), then [[Group move|swarm]] it when it falls. The creature should be approached from behind if possible, and [[ultra-bitter spray]] is very useful should the enemy be carrying a bomb-rock. | Dirigibugs can be defeated in the same manner as [[Scarpanid]]s and other flying enemies: rapidly [[throw]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] onto it while in the air (one [[Purple Pikmin]] will work just as well), then [[Group move|swarm]] it when it falls.

==Glitches== | |||
{{Clean|Move to the glitches article when they're good, but first, confirm them.}} | |||
*There is a rare glitch where one can be seen floating without balloons. | |||
*In some dungeons like the Hole of Heroes, a Careening Dirigibug can throw a bomb rock over a barrier when trying to kill Pikmin on the other side. On the first floor of the [[Cavern of Chaos]], some can get caught in the pipes. | |||
*One glitch that can occur with the Careening Dirigibug involves invisible bombs. A leader may activate a bomb while the Dirigibug is still holding it, which will cause it to explode while the creature is still holding the bomb. The Careening Dirigibug continues the "holding" animation, even when there is no bomb there. It will eventually perform the throwing animation with the bomb that is not there.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itwEZlwcbcw YouTube video] showing the invisible bomb-rock glitch.</ref> | |||
*In this creature's [[Piklopedia]] entry, [[ultra-bitter spray|petrifying]] it just as it breaks free from another spray makes it possible to freeze it and its bomb-rock separately. | |||

* The trophy description details that Careening Dirigibugs occasionally throw dud bomb-rocks, which is not true in ''Pikmin 2''. This is likely the result of a [[Mistakes in the Pikmin series|mistake]]. A glitch does exist where [[Glitches in Pikmin 2#Dud bomb-rock|bomb-rocks stay stuck]] and never explode, but it is unlikely that this is what the trophy was referring to. | * The trophy description details that Careening Dirigibugs occasionally throw dud bomb-rocks, which is not true in ''Pikmin 2''.

* The Careening Dirigibugs bear a strange resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Eosapien|Eosapiens]] from the documentary "Alien Planet", and also from [[wikipedia: William Barlowe|William Barlowe's]] book, ''Expedition''. Both these creatures float using gas-filled sacks on their heads, effectively hunt down their targets, and also have generally similar body shapes. | * The Careening Dirigibugs bear a strange resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Eosapien|Eosapiens]] from the documentary "Alien Planet", and also from [[wikipedia: William Barlowe|William Barlowe's]] book, ''Expedition''.
