'''Arctic Cannon Larvae''' ({{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi|Snow Two-Mouth}}) are [[Enemy|enemies]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. They are bright green, with a lavender underbelly, and a variant of [[Armored Cannon Larva]]e accustomed to cold conditions. They are the larval form of the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]]. | |||
Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs. While mostly equivalent to boulders in functionality, snowballs are incapable of killing Pikmin, instead simply picking them up and carrying them along until they crash into something (even other snowballs); [[Winged Pikmin]] won't even be picked up by the projectiles, only knocked back. Leaders will be picked up as well, which also traps them until the snowball is destroyed. As a result, the creature is annoying at best, and is only a threat if the Pikmin it rolls away end up next to some other enemy or [[hazard]] without the player noticing, but can be killed with relative ease by any Pikmin type. | Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs.

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide=== | |||
{{transcript|The Arctic Cannon Larva is a large, burrowing creature that attacks by launching large Snowballs at its enemies. These Snowballs won't damage your Pikmin directly, but they are capable of incapacitating your Pikmin or carrying them into hazards. When you encounter an Arctic Cannon Larva, dodge its attacks and flank the creature. Throw a steady stream of Rock Pikmin into the creature's back, or send your entire squad charging in to attack.|block=y}} | |||
===Dalmo's Notes=== | |||
{{transcript|Whether or not there's snow on the ground, when this surprising sweetie comes around, you can have a snowball fight anytime. But don't expect it to go easy on you. You're in for a one-sided defensive battle, and you might end up looking like a snowman by the end!|block=y}} | |||
==Behavior== | ==Behavior== | ||
The Arctic Cannon Larva will either emerge from the ground when a [[leader]] or Pikmin is extremely close to it, or it will emerge from a distance and consistently shoot snowballs to hinder the group. In most cases, it will behave the former way, and only a few, notably used in puzzles at the [[Distant Tundra]], will perform the latter. In all cases, the Arctic Cannon Larva behaves the same up-close; it will try to roll its attackers away with snowballs and buck any Pikmin off if they latch onto it. During a battle, it will likely burrow underground, or attempt to, as many times as it can, and when it re-emerges, any leaders or Pikmin standing above will be launched into the air and temporarily immobilized. | The Arctic Cannon Larva will either emerge from the ground when a [[leader]] or Pikmin is extremely close to it, or it will emerge from a distance and consistently shoot snowballs to hinder the group.

To maximize the offensive output, send only a few Pikmin to attack it, and when you realize that it's getting ready to buck them away, send the remainder of your Pikmin to charge at it. This will cause them to attack while the creature is busy blowing a snowball, giving more time for the Pikmin to attack without getting shaken off. | To maximize the offensive output, send only a few Pikmin to attack it, and when you realize that it's getting ready to buck them away, send the remainder of your Pikmin to charge at it.
