:I have, actually, but since I have no imagination, I just imagine it as being like an ACB whose shell has a slight reddish tinge. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::Not really. No, never. ...{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

Actually it might look similar to this since it doesnt say learva--[[User:Prof.pikmin|Prof.]] 20:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you Prof. Pikmin. If it has seeking rocks why would it need a shell? Also, I look at it kind of like this: Which is prettier: A vase or a metal shell surrounding it?

Olimar's own description (in the articile) says that this is a larval Decorated Cannon Beetle. A beetle by definition must have a shell/hard, rigid wing casings. It doesn't have "larva" in the name because unlike with regular Cannon Beetles, there was no adult form to confuse it with. [[User:LapisScarab|LapisScarab]] 19:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


In the article, it says that it is never found buried in the ground like Armored Cannon Beetles. Shouldn't that say Armored Cannon Beetle Larva?[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:200px-Mario you phail.gif|50px]] 01:57, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

"This creature is the larval form of a cannon beetle variant known for a diet consisting entirely of eating stones" Olimar called this one, it is a Larva.[[User:Marx Wraith|Marx Wraith]] 23:15, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

My guess is that it is a more mature larvae, as it has a blow hole. It could just be a species difference, though. {{User:Volatile Dweevil/Sig}}

==Real World Basis==

The most obvious similarity is to caterpillars, but check out the velvet worm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onychophora it spits out rocks while the velvet worm spits out goo, and it doesn't have true legs just like the ACB and DCB. {{User:IAMAHIPO ocolor/sig}} 16:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

==Why's that called a glitch?==
Why's the death cry for the DCB and ACBL considered a glitch? It could just be that the death cry for the two larva could just be cut off when the enemy ghost sound is introduced. I mean, it seems a bit too in-depth a sound for it to be a glitch, but that's just me. [[User:Pikmin.Fan1991|Pikmin.Fan1991]] ([[User talk:Pikmin.Fan1991|talk]]) 22:26, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
