The Armored Cannon Beetle is an enemy from Pikmin. It is a large beetle with a black shell of armor that launches rolling boulders at Pikmin.

Pikmin 3 (Flish addition)
Armored Cannon Beetles are found in Pikmin 3 (Flish Edition), although the larvae are absent. They're signifigantly easier to defeat and can often be found as a regular enemy. Their seed worth is also only 20 now.

In Pikmin: Ultimate Doom
The Armored Cannon Beetle is a miniboss in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom, but its larva is absent. The Armored Cannon Beetle is much stronger in Pikmin: Ultimate Doom. It will stomp on the ground, stunning all Pikmin within the radius of the tremor. It quickly shoots out a boulder to crush stunned Pikmin. It can also go into a rampage mode and run around. If it brushes up against a Pikmin while in rampage mode, that Pikmin begins to panic. Then it shoots its boulders at the panicking Pikmin.
