The Spitball Dweevil appears in Pikmin: Dual Worlds. This strange dweevil can assume the coloration and harness the powers of only a hazard-weilding dweevil it is in direct or indirect physical contact with. The translucent body of a Spitball Dweevil is initially not of any color but does change color to match that of the dweevil it assumed the properties of, although still retaining its translucency. The Spitball Dweevil's scientific name comes from the fact that it copies other dweevil's colors and elements, making it similar to a paint pallet in that it helps apply color to the canvas, or this case the surrounding environment, but only when paint, or other dweevils, are present. Its literal name comes from its other ability, which is spitting balls of the element that it's copying at attackers from holes on its mandibles.
Up to four Spitball Dweevils may be found in the company of an Elder Foundation Dweevil, standing atop the creature and one another, their legs placed into the holes of the legs of the Elder Foundation Dweevil they are riding. In combination with Calcifus Dweevils and elemental dweevils, Spitball Dweevils can make an Elder Foundation Dweevil a formidable opponent in combat.
