==Battle Strategy==
Although harmless, the Arctic Cannon Larva can be quite the nuisance. Since it cannot kill Pikmin, any type can be used to take it down. Simply charge the Lithopod with your squad and, with time, it will be defeated. Alternatively, you can bring an army of Winged Pikmin, as they are somewhat immune to the Arctic Cannon Larva's attacks. Swarm it in the same way as before, and it shall fall. Its corpse takes 7 Pikmin to carry and produces 8 seeds when toted to the [[Onion]].

Arctic Cannon Larvae are enemies in Pikmin 3. They are a green-and-lavender variant of Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae 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, only knocked back. Captains will be picked up as well, which also traps them until the snowball is destroyed. As a result the creature is annoying at best, only a threat if the Pikmin it rolls away end up next to some other enemy or hazard without the player noticing, and can be killed with relative ease by any Pikmin type.
