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.

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.

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]].

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''.

{{transcript|This specimen is a Lithopod larva. Lithopods, like Flint Beetles, use internal metabacteria to aid chemical digestion. These metabacteria can only survive in certain environments, such as within the body of certain insects, so Lithopod larvae do not contain any metabacteria immediately after hatching.

{{transcript|The Armored Cannon Larva is another large, burrowing creature. Like the Arctic Cannon Larva, this creature attacks by firing projectiles at its enemies. Unlike the Snowballs utilized by its counterpart, however, the Armored Cannon Larva's projectiles are capable of crushing most Pikmin.

The Armored Cannon Larva's projectiles cannot damage Rock Pikmin, but they will incapacitate them for a short time. When you attack one of these enemies, do so with a fairly large squad of Rock Pikmin. Flank the creature, then attack by throwing each of your Rock Pikmin for maximum damage.|block=y}}
