Acidic Cannon Beetle

The Acidious Cannon Beetle is a relative to the Armored Cannon Beetle that is nearly identical except for the glowing green eyes. Unlike the Armored Cannon Beetle, this species spits out acid balls that disintegrate all but Green Pikmin upon contact. These acid balls also scatter upon contact with a wall or obstacle. They also instantly kill an enemy upon impact, which can be used against the numerous Spotty Bulbears in the Valley of Grief. Acid pours out when its shell opens up which makes it a dangerous enemy if one is not careful.

Pikmin
Although any type of Pikmin can kill this beast, it is advised Green Pikmin are used. Pikmin casualties may happen if one uses a different color than Green.

Captains
This enemy cannot be killed by Captains.
