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.

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 ''New Play Control! Pikmin'' Prima Guide uses the "Field Guide" description for the Armored Cannon Beetle verbatim except with one change: the one mention of the Strong-Armed Cannon Beetle was changed to the Armored 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.
