In Pikmin: Dual Worlds
The Mossroll Cannon Beetle is a fully-grown lithopod in Pikmin: Dual Worlds that, like its younger form, the Mossy Cannon Larva, is covered in protective moss and spits mossy projectiles. However, unlike the larvae, which spit moss balls that knock Pikmin aside and spread panic-inducing spores, wobbling to and fro as they travel, the Mossroll Cannon Beetle spits a series of three larger moss-covered boulders that wobble and spread spores as they travel and can crush Pikmin. Furthermore, the moss covering its otherwise vulnerable body protects it from damage entirely rather than simply dampening it, and even plugs its blowhole, acting as a sort of filter and preventing Pikmin from being lodged within it. After firing its three boulders, it curls up into a ball and rolls towards nearby Pikmin and leaders, tumbling in their general direction for three rotations while releasing spores, eventually righting itself and firing three more boulders in rapid succession. It will immediately right itself should it come to the extent of its small territory. Should it hit a wall while rolling, however, the Mossroll Cannon Beetle will become stunned and inadvertently open its shell casing, opening itself up to attack until it comes to, shakes off its attacks, and closes it up.
