-The '''Dweevil family''' is the species of enemies in [[Pikmin series|Pikmin 2]] that resemble 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 '''Dweevil family''' is a species of enemies found only in [[Pikmin 2]] that resemble spiders. All members are known to collect [[Treasure Hoard|treasures]], bodies of dead [[:Category:Enemies|creatures]] and other objects in order to mimic them or use them for some other purpose.  Most possess [[hazards|elemental]] attacks, which they do not use unless aggravated, and they are only found [[underground|cave]].  The size of smaller Dweevils' bodies make landing a Pikmin on them difficult; they are most easily defeated using [[Purple Pikmin]], which can stun the beasts without landing on them and home in on enemies when thrown.

-Mandarachnia explodus
+Volatile Dweevils prefer to carry [[bomb-rock]]s over all other objects; when one sees a [[captain]] or Pikmin, it follows it and the bomb rock's timer starts. When this detonates, the Dweevil is killed, making the best tactic when confronted with one of these to run away.  It is also possible to petrify one with an [[Ultra-bitter spray]] and then kill it without it ever exploding. You will at least get nectar, or possibly spray.
