Items
As a Humanoid enemy, the Dweller is capable of using items.
- Spectral Soda - Grants Spectral for two turns, making the recipient's body transparent and causing all attacks against it to miss while active.
- Each Dweller only carries 1 Spectral Soda.
- Using Shoplift on Dwellers is the only way to acquire Spectral Soda.
- (2+) 3 Cheeseburgers - Heals 10 HP to itself or an ally.
- 1 Milk - Grants Charging-1 for 5 turns and also heals Broken Bones.
- (3) 2 BBQ Sauces Grants Defense Up-2 for three turns.
Strategy
Be wary of their draining and incapacitating attacks as they are capable of dealing significant damage and prolonging the battle. Fortunately, their lack of 
Defense makes them highly susceptible to attacks like Barrage.
Dwellers should be taken down as soon as possible, but if they cannot be defeated on the first turn, your priority should be to use Shoplift in order to steal their Spectral Soda, preventing them from becoming immune to attacks for the remainder of the battle.
Against 
Corruption 2+ Dwellers, this becomes significantly more challenging, as not only will they be less susceptible to Shoplift, they will have additional items that may end up being stolen instead of the Spectral Soda. They'll also gain Fire Claw and/or Fiery Explosion, making them more tougher to take down.
Trivia
- On Tier 7+ They would mostly be encountered with Tangler.
- A bug can sometimes occur with Dwellers that accompany another enemy, causing them to die shortly after being spawned into a battle.
