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, it has a single mouth 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. They are vulnerable all over their body, but can buck the Pikmin off when attacked. 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. Note that the rocks it shoots out cannot be petrified.

How to Kill

Pikmin

Throw Pikmin onto it (preferably from behind), and keep the other ones out of the way of its boulders. If the beetle bucks, call back your Pikmin as quickly as possible and repeat.

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.
