'''Decorated Cannon Beetles''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]]. They have an appearance similar to [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, but are red instead of green, and have orange eyes. Also, this particular species is never found buried in the ground like Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae. They, too, spit out stones, but their rocks home in on the currently active [[captain]] due to the magnetic field which envelops the boulders. However, the stones have odd characteristics. First of all, when they are found in [[cave]]s which are made of metal (which is rusty, indicating it contains iron), the spacesuits are the only thing the boulders home in on. The rocks are also suprisingly frail. If slowed by water, a rock can be destroyed by a punch or a [[Purple pikmin]]. | '''Decorated Cannon Beetles''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]].

It is advised not to use Pikmin to attack this creature, instead using the captain-strategy, but if there's not enough room to kill it with its own attack, the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva#How to Kill|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]] strategy should be used. | It is advised not to use Pikmin to attack this creature, instead using the captain-strategy, but if there's not enough room to kill it with its own attack, the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva#How to Kill|Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]] strategy should be used. | ||
If you really want to kill it with pikmin, another strategy would be to throw purple pikmin (for stunning) and whites (because they are faster). Then call them off and distract the boulder with a captain. It is advised to use the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva strategy instead (or captains). | |||
===Captains=== | ===Captains=== | ||
The best way to defeat a Beetle is to use it's own boulders against itself. Since the rocks follow the captain, they can be manipulated. However, it is impossible to get a rock out of most lower water-filled areas. The rocks can be tricked into hitting the same Beetle that shot them. This is the easiest way to kill them. As a note, the rocks it shoots cannot be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. The boulders also act quite well against other enemies as well, killing small ones instantly and larger ones in one or two hits. Damage is detemined by the speed of the stone and where the enimie is hit: hitting an enemy in the head will do more damage. If there is not enough room to do this, use the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]] stratagy. | The best way to defeat a Beetle is to use it's own boulders against itself.
