The Caustic Dweevil is a member of the dweevil family that attacks 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. The only offensive measure the beast can take is spraying an acidic bodily fluid that functions identically to water, meaning it chokes and drowns all Pikmin types except Blue Pikmin, making them the best choice in battle against it.

Notes
Olimar's observations
- “This Dweevil is another one that hasn't changed much this time. They do seem to be quite uncommon though. Enemies that attack Pikmin with water are quite uncommon in general. I wonder why that is?”
Cookin' with Louie
- “Inedible. Effects of consumption include uncontrollable arm flailing and enthusiastic dishwashing.”

The Dampening Dweevil appears in Pikmin: Dual Worlds. This species of dweevil acts a bit differently from its Pikmin 2 incarnation in that it ejects balls of water from holes on its mandibles at high speed, similar to the Titan Dweevil's Monster Pump 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.
Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This species of dweevil is notably different from the caustic dweevils of my second venture to this planet. Its projectiles are much less acidic, in addition to them working differently. It seems likely that the caustic dweevil at some point diverged into three species, creating the roughly neutral dampening dweevil, the frosty hoar dweevil, and the even more acidic sulfuric dweevil.”

Notes
Olimar's notes
- “This dweevil seems to be similar to Blue Pikmin in many ways. They both have a liking for water, and they both have amazing strength. Perhaps, somewhere, there are Dweevilmin! Probably not...”
