Armored Cannon Beetle Larva

Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae are lithopods that resemble large larvae with an Armored Cannon Beetle's eyes and mouth. They act the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle but turn and spit at a faster rate, have much less health, and are completely vulnerable to attack. Like the adult cannon beetles, they have a blowhole on the top of their head, but it is either nonfunctional or not as powerful, so Pikmin cannot become stuck in it like with the fully grown beetles. Their boulders roll in a straight line in, but follow the terrain's curvature in. They come in two types: one that walks around and one that burrows out of the ground. Those that are buried will never unearth more than half of their body, and will not move from their spot.

In Pikmin 251
Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae appear in Pikmin 251 and function as they did in, but now have more health.

In Pikmin Eco
The Armored Cannon Beetle Larva is a lithopod appearing in Pikmin Eco, although with no signs of any adult version. It isn't found outside of caves, making it strictly a subterranean species. It behaves as it does in and  and can be defeated, and in some cases manipulated, in the same ways.
