'''Armored Cannon Larvae''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth {{w|Sake set#Server|Tokkuri}}}}) (Known as the '''Armored Cannon Beetle Larva''' in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the '''Armoured Cannon Larva''' in the European [[region|version]] of ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the '''Armoured Cannon Beetle Larva''' in the European [[region|version]] of ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'') are [[Enemy|enemies]] in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Pikmin 4''. They resemble large larvae with some of the similar [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] eyes and mouth. They act the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle, 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. | |||
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. | Like the adult Cannon Beetles, they have a blowhole on the top of their head, but it is either non-functional or not as powerful, so [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] cannot become stuck in it like with the fully grown beetles.

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''. | When a mature Armored Cannon Beetle and a mature Horned Cannon Beetle breed, the resulting larva are territorial and aggressive.

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. | Approaching the creature with [[Rock Pikmin]] will work best, as they are immune to its [[crushing]] boulders.
