Volatile Dweevil

The Volatile Dweevil, at first glance, appears to be a bomb rock with legs, but is, in reality, a dweevil that has picked up a bomb rock, like how other members of the dweevil family pick up treasures and corpses; unlike other dweevils, however, Volatile Dweevils are known to carry only bomb rocks and are never seen without one.

A Volatile Dweevil's bomb rock will engage as soon as the creature is startled, and it will chase leaders and Pikmin until the bomb explodes, killing itself and significantly damaging or also killing anything else caught in the blast. The optimal way to deal with a Volatile Dweevil simply is to run away from it until after it blows up.

In Pikmin 251
Volatile Dweevils appear in Pikmin 251. They function as they do in, but they walk faster and take longer to detonate.

In Pikmin: Redemption
In Pikmin: Redemption, the Volatile Dweevil is the same as its incarnation, but can carry and use giant bomb rocks and nuclear bomb rocks in addition to ordinary bomb rocks. Additionally, the colored portions of the skin of its legs can change to match that of its currently-held bomb rock.
