The '''Arctic Cannon Beetle''' ( | {{Game help|p4}} | ||
The '''Arctic Cannon Beetle''' (オオユキカブト、"Great Snow Beetle") is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', and the adult stage of the [[Arctic Cannon Larva]]. The Arctic Cannon Beetle appears similar to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] and [[Horned Cannon Beetle]], with a light blue shell, blue skin, red eyes, and no blowhole. It also spits out snowballs instead of boulders. Due to its lack of a blowhole, it breathes through its mouth instead, allowing it to inhale groups of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] but also forcing it to expose its abdomen as it inhales. | |||

=== Dalmo's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|A beautiful armored bug that sparkles like a diamond. The sight of it busily tromping along...the way it sucks air and spews out snowballs... Everything about it is remarkable! While standing transfixed by its stunning appearance, you'll end up covered in snow for sure!|block=y}} | |||
=== Olimar's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|Upon reaching maturity, the blowhole on its head closes, leaving in its place the pointed crest of the Artic Cannon Beetle's shell. | |||
In order to get enough food in nutrient-deficient environments, adult specimens start breathing through their mouths. Some experts have posited that this adaptation caused the species to lose territorial competitions with the Armored Cannon Larva, driving it into colder environments.|block=y}} | |||
=== Louie's Notes === | |||
{{transcript|Boil the meaty legs until fully cooked, then drizzle with a generous amount of lemon juice. Once the juice has seeped its way into the muscle fibers, suck the meat out of the shell with one big slurp.|block=y}} | |||

Upon noticing them, it turns towards them and begins to inhale. After a couple seconds, its wings open up to reveal its vulnerable abdomen as it inhales more powerfully, being able to suck up the player and all of their Pikmin. If a [[Bomb rock|bomb rock]] is thrown at it while it is inhaling, it eats the bomb rock and takes roughly 1/6th of its health in damage. After inhaling, regardless of whether it successfully inhaled any Pikmin, it spits out a large snowball. The snowball can pick up Pikmin and, if it hits a wall, cause icicles to fall that can [[Crush|crush]] Pikmin. If any Pikmin were inhaled, half of them are eaten and the other half are spat out within the snowball. It then shakes off any attacking Pikmin and closes its wings before inhaling again. | ||

Riding [[Oatchi]] is recommended, since Pikmin cling to his back instead of trailing behind you, which is important for avoiding it's inhale and the icicles that fall from above. Stand in front of the Arctic Cannon Beetle to get it to start inhaling, then quickly circle around behind it. When its wings open up to reveal its abdomen, start [[Throw|throwing]] Pikmin at it or rush it with Oatchi. Repeat this process two to three times and the fight should be over. | Riding [[Oatchi]] is recommended, since Pikmin cling to his back instead of trailing behind you, which is important for avoiding it's inhale and the icicles that fall from above.
