The '''Fiery Dweevil''' ({{j|ベニショイグモ|Beni Shoi Gumo|Crimson Carrying Spider}}) is an enemy in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and {{P4}}. [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] like to pick up treasures and defeated enemies and put them on their bodies. When there is something on their body, they can't be damaged by [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]]s until the body or treasure is taken off. To take it off the body, just [[throw]] Pikmin on the Dweevil's body or [[punch]] it several times. This particular species of Dweevil, when agitated by attacks, will release searing flames that will set Pikmin on fire. This makes [[Red Pikmin]],[[Bulbmin]] or [[Glow Pikmin]] the best choices in battle. However, since [[Purple Pikmin]] can stun any common Dweevil, they will also work well.

When a treasure or a corpse of another creature is nearby, a Fiery Dweevil will lift it up onto its head and carry it, making it impossible for Pikmin to collect until it is broken free. When a Dweevil has an item in its possession, it will stay at rest, crouching down, appearing as if it is only the item, until it is approached by a leader or Pikmin, at which point it will stand up and run away.

In ''Pikmin 4'', as with all dweevils, the Fiery Dweevil's range of objects it can carry has increased. Any object that is directly carryable by Pikmin, notably useable items from the [[Pack]], can now be carried by the Dweevil. This even includes Firestarters, although this can only be seen with this specific type of Dweevil in [[Giant's Hearth]] ingame. Items that can explode, like [[Bomb rock|Bomb Rocks]] or [[Ice Blast|Ice Blasts]] can be used by the Dweevil when it has a target in its sights, replicating the ability of the [[Volatile Dweevil]] from ''Pikmin 2''. It should be noted that Dweevils are not immune to the effects of these bombs, and will immediately die or become [[ice|frozen]] as a result of the blast.

Take a decent sized group of Pikmin (preferably Red Pikmin or Bulbmin) and run up to the Dweevil. You should try to position yourself to where the Dweevil will try to turn to. Throw your Pikmin as fast as possible onto the Dweevil while it's still turning, and you should be able to kill it before it can get agitated. If it does attack, make sure no Pikmin are left underneath the creature, to avoid being set ablaze. Alternatively, you could throw a few Purple Pikmin at it, making sure the Pikmin will be able to land on the Dweevil. With four or five Purples, you should be able to kill it without any trouble, especially because Purples always stun Dweevils.

Another strategy is to use [[leader]]s, which is ultimately safer. Run up to it and attack it until it starts glowing. If the [[Scorch Guard]] has already been acquired, keep attacking; if not, run away before it attacks, then run back when the flames extinguish and continue the assault.

*The Fiery Dweevil was one of four enemies that were planned for the roulette wheel in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''{{'s}} [[2-Player Battle]], but ended up being removed. It would've paired with the [[Hydro Dweevil]]. The remaining two enemies are the [[Spotty Bulbear]], and the [[Antenna Beetle]].
