The '''Armored Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth Tokkuri}}) is the adult stage of an [[Armored Cannon Larva]], appearing in {{p1}} and {{p4}}, with its larval stage appearing in {{p2}} and {{p3}}. It is a large, black, almost shiny beetle with a thick, rounded shell of armor and a blowhole above its head. In Pikmin 4 it is much more detailed and realistic, with added leg joints, toes, and bigger pincers around the mouth. | The '''Armored Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth Tokkuri}}) is the adult stage of an [[Armored Cannon Larva]], appearing in {{p1}} and {{p4}}, with its larval stage appearing in {{p2}} and {{p3}}. It is a large, black, almost shiny beetle with a thick, rounded shell of armor and a blowhole above its head. In ''Pikmin 4'' it is much more detailed and realistic, with added leg joints, toes, and bigger pincers around the mouth. It attacks by inhaling through this opening and subsequently firing a rolling rock from its mouth that travels in a straight path, which [[Crushing|crushes]] any small creature in its path, and only stops when it hits a wall or another enemy. To defeat the creature, one must attack its abdomen: attacking other parts of the creature (like its legs) won't damage it. | ||
This enemy is only found in [[The Forest of Hope]], where one is guarding the [[Radiation Canopy]], and [[The Distant Spring]], where one has ingested the [[Bowsprit]]. As a side-note, Olimar can destroy the rocks by [[punch]]ing them; this does not work with the rock-producing [[lithopod]]s in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', however. The boulders can also instantly kill a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]; the bug is left visibly flattened after being rolled over by a rock. | This enemy is only found in [[The Forest of Hope]], where one is guarding the [[Radiation Canopy]], and [[The Distant Spring]], where one has ingested the [[Bowsprit]].

The only way one can be defeated is by clogging the blowhole during air intake (Pikmin are impervious to harm when inhaled). This causes the beetle's internal temperature to rise dramatically, and in response the beetle will expose its burning abdomen underneath the armor to vent. The exposed abdomen leaves the beetle vulnerable to attack. However, the beetle will quickly unclog its blowhole, shield its backside, and continue its attack after excess heat has been drained. After closing its back up, your Pikmin will be knocked down, and the Armored Cannon Beetle will shoot a boulder out of its front. | The only way one can be defeated is by clogging the blowhole during air intake (Pikmin are impervious to harm when inhaled).

*If an Armored Cannon Beetle sucks in a Yellow Pikmin holding a [[bomb rock]], the Pikmin will keep holding it. When the Pikmin is released, it will keep the bomb rock, and whistling it will not make it drop the explosive. This is true for both the [[GameCube]] and the [[Wii]] versions of the game. | *If an Armored Cannon Beetle sucks in a Yellow Pikmin holding a [[bomb rock]], the Pikmin will keep holding it.
