The Armored Cannon Beetle is the adult stage of an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva. The beetle was first discovered during Olimar's first visit to the Pikmin Planet. During his second voyage, only the larval stage was present.
It is a large, metallic-looking, black beetle with a thick, rounded shell of armor and a blowhole resting above its head. It attacks by inhaling through the blowhole and subsequently firing a rolling rock from its mouth, which will crush any of its smaller prey, including Pikmin.
This creature is only found during Olimar's first visit in The Forest of Hope, where one is guarding the Radiation Canopy, and The Distant Spring, where one has ingested the Bowsprit.
