Deceptive Dweevil

The Deceptive Dweevil is a species of Dweevil that disguises itself as Treasure or terrain objects (i.e rocks and trees), waiting for prey to look away so that it may sneak up and crush Pikmin.

In Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn
The Deceptive Dweevil is a member of the Dweevil family in Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn that resembles a Black and Dark Grey Dweevil, although its body is larger than that of a regular Dweevil. It has 4, shining white eyes. Its chubby body resembles that of a pebble. It has 4, spindly legs that allow it to dash along the ground at incredible speeds. You usually won't be able to spot one, due to it using terrain objects, such as rocks, or small trees as a cover for its body. On some rare occasions, it hides under Treasure. It lays low to the ground when dormant, almost invisible to find. When a Leader looks away, it slowly gets closer, creeping at a slow speed toward them. Once close enough, it springs up, and crushes Pikmin and Leaders with its cover. This can be avoided using the Dodge Whistle. It has a much larger, boss variant called the Deceptive Titan Dweevil.

Its attack varies with its disguise, here are some examples.


 * Rocks: It springs up, shooting the rock into the air, its scurries away to avoid impact. The rock's shadow acts as a hazard indicator, which you should probably move your Pikmin away from.
 * Trees: It lifts its body, and lets the tree fall to the ground, crushing any Pikmin under it. Its shadow acts as a hazard indicator.
 * Treasure: Depending on the Width and Length of the Treasure, it will either use it like a tree, or like a rock.

The best way to defeat it would be to attack it when it drops its object after an attack, as it scurries around for a moment before scuttling back under its disguise. It is somewhat hard to hit due to its high speeds and erratic movements.
