This creature's name differs from the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]'s with the word "Decorated", which refers to its shiny red body. For reasons unknown, the word "Larva" is absent from its name when compared to the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, despite it being a cannon beetle larva as well, although the word "Beetle" was dropped for {{p3}}. In Japan, the enemy is called {{j|ミヤビフタクチ|Miyabi Futa Kuchi}}, which translates to "Elegant Top-Mouth", similar to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]'s Japanese name. Its scientific name is ''granitus decorum''; ''granitus'' is the genus name for the [[lithopod family]], and is Latin for "granite", referring to the rocks it shoots, and ''decorum'' is Latin for "decorated". Internally, this enemy is called <code>rkabuto</code>, which is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva's name, but starting with "r", for "red".
