Webber Dweevil

The Webber Dweevil is a recently-discovered dweevil that exhibits prominent differences compared to the majority of dweevil species, which are generally known to use elemental attacks and pick up objects and mimicking them. It is larger than other dweevil varieties and hides in large growths that seem to be of the same kind that cripples Burgeoning Spiderworts, which could mean that the Webber Dweevil itself is a carrier of the spores that suffocate the plantlife. The spores and the dweevil share a symbiotic relationship; the spores benefit by having plenty of vegetation to feed upon, and the dweevil spreads out the spores on a web, hoping to entice creatures that search for food underneath, only to be taken by surprise when the massive creature rises from the webs.

In order to defeat the Webber Dweevil, toss a single Pikmin into the web to lure it out, then aim well and throw Pikmin at its body before it can eat too many of them. When there are multiple Webber Dweevils however, this can pose a problem. Dealing with Webber Dweevils on their turf becomes easier when Black Pikmin are used. Be aware that Webber Dweevils sometimes roam freely in search of prey, and may not always be hiding in ambush.

Don't recklessly attack molds that may hold plant life or treasures underneath; molds are sticky and pose a threat to leaders and Pikmin alike. If a Pikmin army is led into a mold, quickly whistle them to free them before the nearby Webber Dweevil gets the opportunity to attack. The first time a mold is discovered, the Research Pod warns that the mold is coated with a super-adhesive substance.
