Hydro Dweevil

The Hydro Dweevil, formerly known as the Caustic Dweevil, is a member of the dweevil family that attacks with water, or a similar substance, in self-defense. As is typical of dweevils, it picks up any treasure or enemy corpse it can find, only releasing it when Pikmin attack.

In Pikmin 2: New Year
The Hydro Dweevil appears in Pikmin 2: New Year as a member of the dweevil family. It flees from Pikmin and leaders that approach too closely, and when attacked defends itself using a shower of water that endangers all Pikmin in its range except Blue Pikmin. Like other lesser dweevils, Hydro Dweevils will pick up and carry around objects, such as treasures and corpses, they are in the vicinity of.

Hydro Dweevils much resemble Caustic Dweevils but with a more vibrant skin tone in addition to black markings on their legs.

The only threat posed by a Hydro Dweevil lies in the water it defends itself with. Unless the creature is carrying an object, in which case the object must be removed before damage may be inflicted, it can be easily killed by throwing Pikmin onto the underside of its body. Purple Pikmin are especially effective against Hydro Dweevils because of their pound attack, which can stun any in its range and instantly remove an object one is carrying.

In Pikmin 251
Caustic Dweevils appear in Pikmin 251. They are unchanged from how they are in.

In Pikmin: Decayed Leaf
The Caustic Dweevil is a returning enemy found in Pikmin: Decayed Leaf. This Dweevil acts just like most others, taking treasures and corpses and running off with them. If attacked, the Dweevil will spit out a wave of water which can choke non-Blue Pikmin. Cactus Pikmin can benefit from the water spat out of the Dweevil. Weighted Pikmin are immune to the water. If a Dweevil walks off a ledge and into a pit with a treasure, the treasure will appear safely on the ground.

In Pikmin: Dual Worlds
The Dampening Dweevil appears in Pikmin: Dual Worlds. This species of dweevil acts a bit differently from its incarnation in that it ejects balls of water from holes on its mandibles at high speed, similar to the Titan Dweevil's  attack. Its range, as well as the number of projectiles it can shoot in one attack, is significantly reduced, but still quite large. The amount of time between shots is increased to about one-fourth of a second.

In Pikmin: Redemption
In Pikmin: Redemption, Caustic Dweevils can be found aboveground. They become faster and deadlier while carrying the corpse of a Soapy Dweevil.

In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom
The Caustic Dweevil appears in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom, and is much like it is in. It is encountered on sublevels two, three, and four of Watery Catacombs.

In Pikmin: The Winds of Light
The Pikmin: The Winds of Light, Caustic Dweevils are encountered at the Summoning Garden, nearby the entrance to Comrade's Cavern.
