'''Arctic Cannon Larvae''' ({{j|ユキフタクチ| | '''Arctic Cannon Larvae''' ({{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi|Snow Top-Mouth}}) are enemies in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. They are bright green, with a lavender underbelly, and a variant of [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e accustomed to cold conditions. | ||
Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs. While mostly equivalent to boulders in functionality, snowballs are incapable of killing Pikmin, instead simply picking them up and carrying them along until they crash into something; [[Winged Pikmin]] won't even be picked up by the snowballs, only knocked back. Leaders will be picked up as well, which also traps them until the snowball is destroyed. As a result, the creature is annoying at best, and is only a threat if the Pikmin it rolls away end up next to some other enemy or hazard without the player noticing, but can be killed with relative ease by any Pikmin type. | Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs.

With a name similar to the [[Armored Cannon Larva]], this enemy is called {{w|arctic}} because it lives in cold environments, and is based around snow. In Japan, it is called {{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi}}, which is the same as the Japanese name of the Armored Cannon Larva, but starting with {{j|ユキ|Yuki|Snow|f=tp}}. Internally, it is considered the same enemy as the Armored Cannon Larva, so it shares the same internal name, but when it needs to be disambiguated, its name is <code>yuki</code>, which means {{j|ユキ|yuki|snow|f=tp}}. | |||
