Dweevil family: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:42, 5 December 2020

The dweevil family is a species of enemies that resemble spiders. Members are known to collect treasures, bodies of dead creatures, and other objects in order to mimic them or use them for some other purpose. Most possess elemental attacks, which they do not use unless aggravated.

Members

Acidic Dweevil

Main article: Acidic Dweevil

Acidic Dweevils are, as their name would suggest, dweevils that utilize acid to deter attackers. Green Pikmin are very useful against them.

Anode Dweevil

Main article: Anode Dweevil

The Anode Dweevil is yellow and attacks with an electrical discharge. This makes Yellow Pikmin the best choice in battle against them.

Berserk Dweevil

Main article: Berserk Dweevil

The Berserk Dweevil is a gigantic version of the dweevil subspecies called Webber Dweevils.

Caustic Dweevil

Main article: Caustic Dweevil

The Caustic Dweevil is a blue dweevil which, when agitated by attacks, releases a blast of acidic bodily fluid in an attempt to drown attacking Pikmin. Therefore, pitting Blue Pikmin against them is the best choice.

Chill Dweevil

File:Chill Dweevil.png

Main article: Chill Dweevil

The Chill Dweevil is a dweevil that defends itself by releasing chemicals that freeze upon contact with open air. The freeze lasts for but a second, as the ice will break shortly after. It is identified by its pale blue, nearly white skin. It has black eyes. It should be dealt with only with Cyan Pikmin or another type of Pikmin resistant to its icy attacks. Like many other dweevils, they will pick up objects and use them to defend themselves.

Fiery Dweevil

Main article: Fiery Dweevil

The Fiery Dweevil is a red dweevil that, when agitated by attacks, will release searing flames that will set nearby Pikmin on fire. This makes Red Pikmin ideal for combating this creature.

Foundation Dweevil

Main article: Foundation Dweevil

Foundation Dweevils are larger than most regular dweevils and are only interested in other dweevils. When they encounter another, smaller dweevil, a Foundation Dweevil will crawl underneath it to pick it up, eventually forming a tower of dweevils, giving the Foundation Dweevil its name.

Frigid Dweevil

Main article: Frigid Dweevil

The Frigid Dweevil is a dweevil that prefers to always carry an ice chunk, much like how Volatile Dweevils prefer to always carry bomb rocks.

Frosty Dweevil

Main article: Frosty Dweevil

The Frosty Dweevil is like the Chill Dweevil but is light blue, has pink eyes, and attacks using blasts of cold wind which only Turquoise Pikmin can resist. When any Pikmin besides Turquoise Pikmin are hit by the cold wind, they become frozen. When the ice shatters, they shatter along with the ice and die.

Munge Dweevil

Main article: Munge Dweevil

The Munge Dweevil is a purple Dweevil that releases a poisonous gas when attacked; this poisons any Pikmin that are not immune to it, making White Pikmin top-notch when fighting these creatures. However, since leaders have air filters, they can be beaten easily without Pikmin.

Sandy Dweevil

Main article: Sandy Dweevil

The Sand Dweevil is a dull yellow dweevil with dark yellow eyes. It acts like any other regular dweevil and can pick up objects, fleeing from Pikmin and leaders if they get close. This dweevil will shoot a cloud of sand which suffocates Pikmin.

Titan Dweevil

Main article: Titan Dweevil

The Titan Dweevil is one of the largest of all known dweevils. It attacks with the four treasures it carries, although in some games it doesn't need these to be able to attack.

Volatile Dweevil

Main article: Volatile Dweevil

Volatile Dweevils prefer to carry bomb rocks over all other objects; when one sees a leader or Pikmin, it follows it and the bomb rock's timer starts. When this detonates, the creature is killed, making the best tactic when confronted with one of these to run away.

Webber Dweevil

Main article: Webber Dweevil

The Webber Dweevil is larger than most other dweevil varieties. This enemy hides in large spiderweb growths that appear to be the same as the ones that prevent the growth of Burgeoning Spiderworts.

-The Titan Dweevil is by far the largest of all known Dweevils, and can only attack using treasures it has picked up and its arms, the latter of which causing no damage. This means that without treasures, it is harmless. Titan Dweevils bury themselves in a manner not unlike the [[Man-at-Legs]], and will rise if approached.

-Volatile Dweevils prefer to carry [[bomb-rock]]s over all other objects; when one sees a [[leader]] 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. Upon defeat this way, the creature may leave behind [[Nectar]], or possibly a spray. These Dweevils commonly drop from ceilings.
