In Pikmin Evolution
The Galvanic Blaster Beetle Larva, or simply the Blaster Beetle Larva, is a species lithopod appearing in Pikmin Evolution as the younger form of the Galvanic Blaster Beetle. They have the same body shape as most immature lithopods, resembling grubs with stubby legs and spots on their sides, this particular lithopod being yellow with orange spots with a pair of dark orange eyes. However, rather than the circular mouths of the other cannon beetles, the Blaster Larva has a narrow, straw-shaped mouth with a glowing cyan tip, indicating that this species does not attack with a solid material or that they eat minerals like most lithopods. Rather, the Blaster Larva uses its straw-like mouth to slurp up fruit juice and nectar. If eggs are absent in a place they're usually in, this creature is typically why. Part of the reason it drinks fruit juice is because it uses the sugars in the juice to fuel its main attack, since, instead of firing boulders, the Blaster Larva shoots balls of pure electricity. As the electricity is green, and therefore far more lethal than yellow electricity, the main attack of the Blaster Larva is very dangerous, compounded by the fact that its balls of electricity ricochet off walls a maximum of three times before they finally dissipate. Blaster Larvae either wander about or are buried in dirt mounds, where their volt balls will cause the most damage.

Naturally, since they shoot electricity, Blaster Larvae are completely harmless to Wisp Pikmin, which can simply swarm the creature with no worry of it retaliating. If Wisp Pikmin are unavailable, a watery blue syrup will do the trick, as the water will electrocute the insect upon contact with its electricity balls, temporarily stunning it and leaving it open for attack. Still, without Wisp Pikmin, the Blaster Larva may be one of the most dangerous enemies to face due to being one of the few creatures able to instantly kill Pikmin with their elemental attacks.
