The '''Armored Cannon Larva''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth {{w|Sake set#Server|Tokkuri}}}}) (called the '''Armored Cannon Beetle Larva''' in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', '''Armoured Cannon Larva''' in the European [[region|version]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and '''Armoured Cannon Beetle Larva''' in [[Olimar]]'s [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] comment in the European version of ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'') is an [[enemy]] in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Pikmin 4''. Armored Cannon Larvae have eyes and mouths that resemble those of adult [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]s. They act the same as the Armored Cannon Beetles, but turn and spit at a faster rate and have much less [[HP|health]]. Their boulders roll in a straight line in ''Pikmin 2'', but can follow the terrain's curvature in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. They come in two types: one that walks around and one that burrows out of the ground; only the burrowing form is found in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''4''. A related species called [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]s exists in larval form in ''Pikmin 2'', but the adults are not seen in any game so far.
'''Armored Cannon Beetle Larva'''


Like the adult Cannon Beetles, they have a blowhole on the top of their head, but it is not as powerful, so [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] cannot become stuck in it like with the fully grown beetles. Because Cannon Beetle Larvae lack the thick exoskeletal armor characteristic of the adult beetles, these enemies are vulnerable all over their body, but can buck the Pikmin off when attacked. They can be manipulated into destroying other creatures by making them spit boulders at a [[leader]] when they are beside or in front of an enemy, so long as the leader moves out of the way before the rock hits them.
'''''Granitus chukkulinae'''''


In ''Pikmin 2'', the rocks that are shot out cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]; however, they can be destroyed if a [[Purple Pikmin]] is [[throw]]n on them. In addition, leaders can withstand a rock collision without suffering damage or knockback by [[Lie down|lying down]].
'''Armored Cannon Beetle Larva''' are enemies in the [[Pikmin 2]] game. They resemble large larvae with some of the simliar [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] eyes and mouth. Unlike the full-grown Armored Cannon Beetle, its mouth functions both as inhaling and spitting boulders. It acts the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle, but turns and spits at a faster rate. They come in two types; one that walks around and one that burrows out of the ground. They are vulnerable all over their body, but can buck the Pikmin off when introduced even to the smallest of damage. They have a moderately high amount of health. You can manipulate them into destroying other creatures by making them spit rocks at you when you are beside an enemy. Move out of the way before the rock hits you, and the rock will hit the enemy that was behind you. As a note, the rocks it shoots out cannot be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]].


When a mature Armored Cannon Beetle and a mature Horned Cannon Beetle breed, the resulting larva are territorial and aggressive. This behavior may be attributed to either the wandering larva in ''Pikmin 2'', or the larva that constantly shoot rocks in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

==Buried==
==How to Kill==
At times, Armored Cannon Larvae might appear buried in the ground, instead of free-roaming. They will never unearth more than half of their body, and will not move from their spot. This is only a special state in ''Pikmin 2'', as it is the only version of the enemy in later games.
====Pikmin====
 
Throw Pikmin onto it, and keep the unthrown ones out of the way of boulders. If it bucks, call back your Pikmin as quickly as possible, and repeat.
In ''Pikmin 2'', a buried larva is internally recognized as a different enemy from the "normal" one. It has a lot more [[health]] than the walking counterpart. Due to what appears to be [[Mistake|oversight]]s, this buried version cannot be stunned by [[Purple Pikmin]], and defeating it will not work for unlocking the Armored Cannon Larva entry on the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], though this was fixed for the Switch port. While game files indicate that the buried version has the same stun time and stun chance as the roaming one, the buried larva cannot be stunned since it is connected to the ground. In the Switch version of the game, buried larva count towards the Piklopedia.
====Captains====
 
Run up to it and punch it until it's about to buck, run away, then return to finish the assault. If you have idle Pikmin nearby, be sure to keep the cannon beetle's focus away from them, or move them out of the way.

==Behavior==
[[File:P2 Armored Cannon Larva Boulder.jpg|thumb|A boulder shot by an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
The Armored Cannon Larva is a relatively stocky and slow creature. It wanders around aimlessly until confronted by a [[leader]] or a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], at which point it will take aim and fire a large boulder from its mouth. Though fast-moving, this boulder moves in a straight line, unlike those spat by the [[Decorated Cannon Beetle]]. The rocks crush any Pikmin caught underneath them and deal great damage to other enemies. When attacked, the creature will buck all Pikmin off with a very similar motion to the [[Fiery Blowhog|Fiery]] and [[Watery Blowhog]]s.
 
Occasionally the Armored Cannon Larva is found buried in the ground, in which case it will halfway emerge when approached. Though this variation will not move, its attacks are identical to its walking counterpart. Additionally, it is sturdier, being unable to be stunned by Purple Pikmin and having significantly more health.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
The Armored Cannon Larva is very similar to its appearance in ''Pikmin 2''. Notably, it now only appears in the ground, and its boulders are unable to crush Rock Pikmin, and strangely, Winged Pikmin. If far away, its boulders go in a set path, and if the player is close to it the boulders go straight forward.
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
 
===''Pikmin 2''===
If enough Pikmin are available, swarm it and it should die before it can harm any Pikmin. If there aren't enough to do this or there are other factors that make this strategy ineffective, throw Pikmin onto it, preferably from behind. If the beetle bucks, call the Pikmin back as quickly as possible, repeat this process until the creature is defeated. If the larva is able to spit a rock, once it begins the animation, round up all the Pikmin you can and guide them out of the boulder's path using the swarm maneuver. Another strategy is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] on it, stunning it. It is a more effective strategy, but if no Purple Pikmin are available and/or if they shouldn't be risked, the first strategy is recommended.
 
Alternatively, if you are placing a high priority on Pikmin life, then you can just use the [[leader]]s to deal with the creature. [[Punch]] it until it begins its bucking animation, then back away for a second, and return to attack. This may take a while but you will eventually defeat the creature by repeating this process. If two larvae are present in the same area, you can defeat them in a much more timely fashion by drawing one's aim over to the other, and having the rocks they spit do the killing.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
Approaching the creature with [[Rock Pikmin]] will work best, as they are immune to its [[crushing]] boulders. When it emerges, throw the Rocks quickly onto it. 20 direct hits will kill the creature. If no Rock Pikmin are available, then use a large army of preferably [[Red Pikmin]] to defeat the Cannon Beetle in a very short time by [[Charge|charging]] at it just after it emerges from the ground. If executed properly, the creature won't be able to attack even once. Note that [[Winged Pikmin]] are also immune to its boulders, in that they get knocked back instead of killed, making them effective at killing the creature.
 
===''Pikmin 4''===
Similar to the Pikmin 3 strategy, but it is heavily recommended to ride [[Oatchi]] to prevent Pikmin following the Leader getting crushed by a boulder. When you reach the Larva, use a few Rock Pikmin to distract it, then go around to its back and use Oatchi's rush. If you don't have any Rock Pikmin, circle around the Larva until it goes into the ground, then rush when it emerges.

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
An Armored Cannon Beetle larva. It feeds mainly on rocks, which are digested and absorbed by metabacteria in its body. Rocks in the body that have become waste are also used to attack enemies by spitting them out through the mouth.
 
Feature #1: Two mouths
 
:It inhales air from its upper mouth and spits out rocks from its front mouth.
 
Feature #2: Body features
 
:As larvae, the male and female are almost indistinguishable.

==Naming==
{{see more|Lithopod family#Naming}}
{{naming
|common    = The creature's initial name, Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, is because of the fact that it is a larva of the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]. That is the name the enemy has in the US and European [[region]]s of both {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}. For {{p3}}, the "Beetle" part was removed, and in addition, because of spelling, the word "Armored" became "Armoured" in the European version of the game.
|jpcommon  = {{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri}}. It is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's Japanese name.
|jpname    = {{j|ヤマトイシツツミ|Yamato Ishi Tsutsumi|Yamato Stone Wrapper}}. In ''Pikmin 4'', the name is given as {{j|ヤマトイシツツミ 幼虫|Yamato Ishi Tsutsumi Yōchū|Yamato Stone Wrapper (larva)}}.
|scientific = ''Granitus chukkulinae''. It is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's scientific name.
|internal  = Internally, the free-roaming Armored Cannon Larva is identified as <code>kabuto</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the word used for an armor's helmet and may be short for {{j|カブトムシ|kabutomushi|{{w|Japanese rhinoceros beetle|rhino beetle}}|f=tp}}, while the buried variant is known as <code>fkabuto</code> &ndash; the letter <code>f</code> before an enemy's name is often used in ''Pikmin 2'' to identify an alternate version of a normal enemy. In ''Pikmin 3'', its internal name is <code>futakuchi</code>, which is the first part of its Japanese name.

==Trivia==
*Its movements are somewhat similar to grounded [[Blowhog family|Blowhogs]], as well as their bucking noise.
*If the game is paused just as the creature makes its first dying sound, some strange noises will be heard, that get lower and lower, lasting for more than 10 seconds. This sound is the same death sound as the [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]'s, but slowed down and normally cut off early. The same will happen with a Decorated Cannon Beetle.
*The actions of the boulders spat out of the Armored Cannon Larva and Decorated Cannon Beetle resemble the actions of the green and red shells from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart series|Mario Kart]]'' series. Green shells, when used, move straight forward, much like the green creature's Armored Cannon Larva's boulders. Red shells, when used, home in on the player in front, much like how the red Decorated Cannon Beetle's boulders home in on leaders.
*Given unknown circumstances, it's possible for a walking Armored Cannon Larva to turn into the buried version. {{cite youtube|mdHljZUbB2E|showing how a free Armored Cannon Larva transformed into a buried one.}} This glitched buried version can also get stunned, unlike the regular buried version. {{cite youtube|5r7k6oT5zqI|demonstrating how the glitched buried Larva can still get stunned.}}
*The Japanese version of Olimar's notes on the Armored Cannon Larva mentions [[glint beetle family|glint beetles]] instead of [[flint beetle family|flint beetles]].
*In Japanese, the Armored Cannon Beetle and Armored Cannon Larva have different species names.
