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 spit boulders turn and at a faster rate, have much less health, and are always 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 can not become stuck in it like with the fully grown beetles. Some walk around while others burrow out of the ground; those buried will never unearth more than half of their body or move from their spot.

Notes
Olimar's observations
- “Once again, I come to this planet only to see the larval form of this creature. What happened to the fully grown kind? Maybe other creatures have led to this one becoming an endangered species. I hope not. Sometimes, I feel bad when I think about how fighting these creatures to the death is upsetting the balance of this ecosystem. But I don't have a choice. If I'm going to save our company once again, some sacrifices will have to be made.”
Cookin' with Louie
- “Removing all the rocks from this beast's meat is a real pain, but more than worth the effort! Or you can just leave the rocks in if you want those extra minerals in your diet.”

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 Pikmin 2 and Pikmin 3 and can be defeated, and in some cases manipulated, in the same ways.
