The Arctic Cannon Beetle is the adult stage of the Arctic Cannon Larva. It is seen in {{p4}}. The Arctic Cannon Beetle appears similar to the Armored Cannon Beetle and Horned Cannon Beetle, with a light blue shell, blue skin, red eyes, and no blowhole. It also spits out snowballs instead of boulders. Due to its lack of a blowhole, it breathes through its mouth instead, allowing it to inhale groups of Pikmin but also forcing it to expose its abdomen as it inhales. | The Arctic Cannon Beetle is the adult stage of the Arctic Cannon Larva seen.

Decorated Cannon Beetles have an appearance identical to Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, except they are red instead of green. They, too, spit out stones, but their rocks home in on the leaders due to a magnetic substance inside the rock which locks onto the leaders' suits. The adult form of this has not appeared in any [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] so far, but they appear to be in the same family as the Armored Cannon Beetle. | Decorated Cannon Beetles have an appearance identical to Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae, except they are red instead of green.

The reel notes and the Player's Guide "Field Guide" description for the Armored Cannon Beetle reveal that is filled the biological niche of something else: the Strong-Armed Cannon Beetle. It apparently has a weaker carapace than the one seen in-game and is a continental breed native to the region, unlike the Armored Cannon Beetle, and later, Horned Cannon Beetle | The reel notes and the Player's Guide "Field Guide" description for the Armored Cannon Beetle reveal that is filled the biological niche of something else: the Strong-Armed Cannon Beetle.
