The Careening Dirigibug is a bizarre organism that can be located on PNF-404, though it is difficult to say if the planet is indeed it's homeworld or not.

Appearance[]

The Carrening Dirigibug appears insectoid in nature. Similar to Scarpanids, it does not possess any legs on its body, and instead moves around slowly in the air through colorful, balloon-like air sacs attached to its head. It has two small arms near its mouth, and small antenna just above the eyes.

Behavior[]

Captain Olimar describes these creatures as, in both nature and appearance, antagonistic. Is can sometimes be found "working" alongside Gatling Groinks, as it has a similar mindset to the Dirigibug.

This strange creature, when spotting a foreign creature invading its territory, will reach into its mouth and in a matter of seconds pull out a type of explosive material commonly known as "Bomb-rocks". These bomb-rocks are extremely sensitive and can explode with the slightest stimulus. The Careening Dirigibug will proceed to float towards the intruder, and drop the bomb-rock onto them. This kind of behavior isn't limited to alien life, as it has been observed to do this with other lifeforms as well.
