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 not as powerful, so [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] cannot become stuck in it like with the fully grown beetles.

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]]. | 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.

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.

The Armored Cannon Larva is very similar to its appearance in ''Pikmin 2''. Notably, it now only appears in the ground, and its boulders are unable to crush Rock Pikmin, and strangely, Winged Pikmin. If far away, its boulders go in a set path, and if the player is close to it the boulders go straight forward. | The Armored Cannon Larva is very similar to its appearance in ''Pikmin 2''.

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.
