The '''Horned Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチカブト|Futa Kuchi Kabuto|Two-Mouthed Beetle}}) is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It appears very similar to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]], but with a less metallic and more segmented shell, along with longer mandibles. The blowhole is also larger and higher up on the shell, pointing at an angle instead of being front facing. It's overall more detailed, but as these details are shared with the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]], these differences are likely due to graphical improvements.

When breeding with the mature Armored Cannon Beetle, the larva will be highly aggressive and territorial. This behavior could explain either the wandering larva in ''Pikmin 2'', or the larva that constantly shoot boulders in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

The Horned Cannon Beetle (フタクチカブト?, lit.: "Two-Mouthed Beetle") is a boss in Pikmin 4. It appears very similar to the Armored Cannon Beetle, but with a less metallic and more segmented shell, along with longer mandibles. The blowhole is also larger and higher up on the shell, pointing at an angle instead of being front facing. It's overall more detailed, but as these details are shared with the Arctic Cannon Beetle, these differences are likely due to graphical improvements. When breeding with the mature Armored Cannon Beetle, the larva will be highly aggressive and territorial. This behavior could explain either the wandering larva in Pikmin 2, or the larva that constantly shoot boulders in Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4.
