The Tropical Cannon Beetle is a full grown Tropical Cannon Larva that lives on the large rainforest island in Creature's Quay. It resembles a fusion between a coconut crab, a mask, and an actual coconut. It has a beige carpace with tan hairs hanging from it, four brown, crab-like legs, and a head with strange, tribalesque markings.

The Tropical Cannon Beetle is seen guarding the shipwreck where Spelunker's Locker is found. It attacks by spitting boulders that leave behind a trail of sticky tar which can slow down or even trap most pikmin. A Black Pikmin can cross it just fine, however. It is defeated like a normal Armored Cannon Beetle, you throw a pikmin into it's blowhole and attack the white abdomen that opens up. Every time it closes, however, it begins spitting globs of tar and then shoots boulders at the trapped pikmin.

Notes

Olimar's Notes

This jungle dwelling Lithopod gains nourishment by extending the inner parts of it's mouth out like a starfish's stomach, and using the teeth-like carbide plates inside to carve into trees and eat the sap and grubs inside it's wood. It has also been observed using this method to reach tar deposits underground and drink from them. This purpose is unknown, but it tends to regurgitate blobs of tar when under stress. The facial markings are only on the males, and are used to attract mates.

Louie's Notes

Crack open the shell for the abdomen and squeeze out most of it's fluids. Sundry the rest of it's abdomen and grind into a fine powder for coconut chili or curry. Use the squeezed fluids as a light, refreshing base for all sorts of drinks.
