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.

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.

Caustic Dweevils appear in Pikmin 251. They are unchanged from how they are in Pikmin 2.
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 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.

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...”
