'''Armored Cannon Beetle Larva''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]]. They resemble large larvae with some of the similar [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] eyes and mouth. Unlike the full-grown Armored Cannon Beetle, it has a single opening for both inhaling and spitting boulders. It acts the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle, but turns and spits at a faster rate and has much less health. They come in two types; one that walks around and one that burrows out of the ground. | |||
The creature will only appear in the [[Piklopedia]] if the version that does not burrow out of the ground has been seen. 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 rocks at Olimar when he is beside an enemy. Moving out of the way before the rock hits him, the rock will hit the enemy that was behind him. The rocks that are shot out cannot be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. | |||
Notably, Armored Cannon Beetle Larva come in three different colors: Red (seen in 2-player mode; attack at faster rates), Blue/White (seen also in 2-player mode; tend to shoot rocks from a distance in one area), and Green, the only color seen outside of 2-player mode, and also is the only one that buries into the ground to station itself for launching rocks. | |||

== | ==Killing Methods== | ||
====Pikmin==== | |||
If enough Pikmin are available, it should be swarmed, 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, Pikmin should be thrown onto it, preferably from behind. If the beetle bucks, the Pikmin should be called back as quickly as possible, and the steps repeated. | |||
====Captains==== | |||
It should be punched until it's about to buck, then the player should run away, and then return to finish the assault. If there are idle Pikmin nearby, the cannon beetle's focus should be kept away from them. If there are two or more larvae, it is possible to make them kill each other with their rocks. | |||
