Acidic Dumples appear in Pikmin: Back in Action. They act as all of the other dumples, but they live near acidic elements.

Acidic Dumples also appear in Pikmin: Return to the Distant Planet, and they mostly appear in or around acid pools or acid gas, making them dangerous. Acidic Dumples secrete acid, evaporating all but Green Pikmin that come in contact with it. If attacked by Green Pikmin, the dumple will shake them off, and then attempt to swarm and eat them. A simple strategy is to quickly throw Green Pikmin onto the dumple until it retreats, as it will attempt to call nearby Acidic Dumples to its attackers. Once defeated, they no longer secrete acid and are safe to carry by other Pikmin.

The Acid Dumple appears in Pikmin: Wide World as a semiaquatic grub-dog that is closely related to the Water Dumple and thrives in acid. The Monster Dumple is a wildly mutated mature Acid Dumple. Acid Dumples sit idly, most commonly in acid but sometimes on dry land, alone or in groups of up to three. While idle, they periodically move around to reposition themselves, and in acid or water, continually open and close their mouths to filter-feed. An Acid Dumple will chase after Pikmin and leaders that approach it, moving in two quick bursts at a time as compared to the Water Dumple's one, and will return to a point near its original resting position once they flee its territory. It will try to eat any Pikmin and bite any leaders it gets close enough to. Acid Dumples move much more quickly in liquids, water included, than on dry land.
Acid Dumples strongly resemble Water Dumples in size and shape, but not so much in appearance. They have a round, oblong body with green, warty, leathery skin, and their lips and rear appendages are predominately of a dull lavender color but with a hint of red. Visible on their underside are several sets of gills that span the entire body's length.
As they are so similar to Water Dumples, the strategies against them may also be used against Acid Dumples. Green Pikmin are often necessary to battle them with considering they are almost always found submerged in acid, although those found on land may be fought using any Pikmin type. Charging Pikmin at an Acid Dumple as a first attack is never recommended as they can muster enough strength to overwhelm and shake off any Pikmin attacking it by jumping, no matter how many are piled on, always following up with a quick pivot and a few bites. Throwing several Pikmin onto an Acid Dumple before charging others at it is much more effective as the creature will be too preoccupied by the few Pikmin already on it to immediately defend itself against the swarm about to ravage it. Although an Acid Dumple can not be killed instantly by throwing a Pikmin directly on top of it, a Purple Pikmin pound is quite effective against one it directly strikes. Upon death, an Acid Dumple will roll over onto its back and go limp.
In ultra-spicy difficulty, Acid Dumples will bite twice in succession if there are more Pikmin or leaders in front of it after it bites the first time. Additionally, on land, it will splatter acid around itself after it lands from shaking Pikmin off, endangering surrounding Pikmin.
Notes
Data file #1 (all difficulties): Acid Dumples are usually more trouble than they're worth, especially while in acid.- Data file #2 (ultra-spicy difficulty only): The Acid Dumple is an opportune predator and will try to get in multiple bites.
- Data file #3 (ultra-spicy difficulty only): Beware the acid that splatters all around the Acid Dumple when it lands from a jump.
Olimar's comments
“Acid dumples are able to withstand the corrosive properties of acid due to more resilient skin and a special chemical compound that nullifies its effects. Few other creatures possess the resistances it has, so it often must leave the safety of the acid pools it calls home in search of prey. Because of the strong similarities they share, and I suspect it evolved from the water dumple for much the same reason as green pikmin evolved from blue pikmin.”
Shacho's comments
“Maybe a moat of acid around Hocotate Freight may not be such a bad idea, seeing as these creatures call it home and are relatively safe in it. But... I would need a drawbridge... And what would I want to defend myself from, other than Dorris when she's angry?”
Marie's comments
“This creature will never be satisfied unless it can immerse itself in an effervescent fluid. Kept outside of it for long periods of time, it becomes irritable and prone to biting.”
Louie's comments
“Its flesh is extremely acidic, almost to the point of being inedible, but may be enjoyed sliced extremely thinly. Be sure to have antacids handy!”
Dolphin Lander's comments
“What I have concluded from my observations of this creature is it seems happiest settled in a pool of corrosive acid. Why this is the case, I am unsure, but Olimar did compare its relationship with the water dumple to that shared between blue pikmin and green pikmin. The mechanics of nature are so compelling!”

The Acid Dumple is a grub-dog appearing in the fourth and final area of Pikoblitz, Challenger's Canyon. It behaves and looks similar to the Toxic Dumple, but trails acid instead of poison and has green lips instead of pink lips. Battle it as if it were a Water Dumple, but beware of the trail of acid it leaves in its wake.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This creature has such a strange effect on people. It appears that those who wish to buy or sell it are collectors who think it's worthless or are war veterans. Most likely it can be a weapon or a rare bundle of life when you think deeper about it.”
Louie's notes
- “First, in order to serve, the acid of this creature must be scooped or poured out. Then, cook for a little while, cover with a nice garlic and butter sauce, and you certainly have a must-taste masterpiece!”
