The Fission Dweevil is a species of large dweevil appearing in Pikmin Evolution. They are quite large, though nowhere near as big as the Titan Dweevil, and have silverish-black skin and deep blue eyes. What separates the Fission Dweevil from other dweevil species is the presence of a large, bulbous, translucent organ on its abdomen, which is heavy and prevents it from walking very quickly under its weight. This organ is filled with a lime-green fluid and houses several orbs of varying colors crackling with energy. These orbs generate a large amount of heat, which the Fission Dweevil periodically expels in the form of hot steam when inactive. This steam can easily cause anything touching it to burst into flames. The reason their bodies create so much heat is because the orbs inside their bodies are actually volatile explosives. Every now and again, the organ expels a cluster of orbs, which then sprout legs and essentially act like Volatile Dweevils. The Fission Dweevil can produce up to three volatile dweevils at a time and will stop when there are twelve of them in the local area.
The only truly safe way to attack the walking nuclear warhead that is the Fission Dweevil is to swarm it with the explosion- and flame-resistant Elixer Pikmin. Its sluggish pace makes it easy to catch up to, and since the Fission Dweevil can't shake off Pikmin, it will be completely helpless on its own. In cases where Elixer Pikmin are unavailable, a powerful electric shock can also inflict massive damage to the Fission Dweevil, as the shock will prematurely detonate all the bombs inside the Fission Dweevil's abdomen. These two crippling weaknesses outweigh the biggest threat the Fission Dweevil creates, that being how it is a dangerous wall breaker during a raid. While not a raid boss itself, the Fission Dweevil often provides backup for other raid bosses, and their endless stream of explosives makes them proficient in wrecking a settlement's defenses; since there tend to be multiple of them, the Fission Dweevil is easily capable of razing settlements and scorching the ground they stand on. This is complicated by the fact that, during raids, they self-destruct when killed, creating a blast so powerful that even Elixer Pikmin can't withstand it. Overall, all of its abilities and its sheer destructive potential make the Fission Dweevil one of the most dangerous enemies to face.
