Unlike most Dweevils, Foundation Dweevils do not use an element. They often pick up smaller elemental Dweevils and place them on their heads to form a tower of Dweevils, but they never pick up other Foundation Dweevils. They have actual arms, so they are likely to be close relatives of the Titan Dweevil. Foundation Dweevils are an intelligent Dweevil species, and possess a basic understanding of Pikmin possessing immunities to a range of hazards and having power in numbers. So, the Foundation Dweevil serves as the foundation for the tower of elemental Dweevils it builds over itself, hence the name. Foundation Dweevils do not include Volatile Dweevils in their Dweevil towers, but they may be used against a tower of Dweevils to bring the entire stack down. Alone, Foundation Dweevils are harmless and run away from Leaders and Pikmin. A fully grown one, known as the Elder Foundation Dweevil is the boss of (TBA Cave) It's exoskeleton extends beyond the actual top of it's legs, creating a sort of cylinder that Spitball Dweevils use for footholds. The interior of the cylinder has been coated in the sticky substance that Sticky Dweevils use, and it's legs and head are covered in crystal armor created by Calcifus Dweevils. A Spitball Dweevil is found on each of it's legs, and atop it's head is a Calcifus Dweevil that created footholds for itself, and on top of the Calcifus Dweevil is a large stack of dweevils, containing Fiery Dweevils, Caustic Dweevils, Anode Dweevils, Munge Dweevils, Chill Dweevils, Acidic Dweevils, Sticky Dweevils, Oily Dweevils, Surprenant Dweevils, and Withering Dweevils. It can be defeated by throwing Rock Pikmin at it's legs until the armor breaks, and then throwing more to throw it off balance a bit. multiple dweevils fall off the top, allowing you to kill them. Any living dweevils will be picked up by the beast with it's arms, and will climb to the top of the stack. The Spitball Dweevils will fire at you for a bit, and it will walk around a bit quicker for a while, slowing down for a bit afterwards, allowing the Calcifus Dweevil to make repairs. Repeat this process until no dweevils are left except for the spitballs and the calcifus. Then break one leg's armor, throw it off balance, break another, leave it on two legs, and the Calcifus Dweevil and Spitball Dweevils fall off. kill them, and it's a sitting duck. Break all it's armor, throw three legs off balance, and you can break it's head armor. Use your Yellow Pikmin to take it down, and it drops the (TBA Treasure).
