Horned Cannon Beetle: Difference between revisions

It is unclear whether the Horned Cannon Beetle is a new lithopod, or supposed to be the lithopod encountered in {{p1}}, having been misidentified in said game. Evidence supporting it being renamed includes the exact same behavior, being featured in promotional material alongside returning enemies, Olimar mentioning that it was once mistaken for an Armored Cannon Beetle (possibly referring to ''Pikmin'' where it was referred to as an Armored Cannon Beetle) and being a migrant lithopod just like the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]] is stated to be in the first game. It also shares its Japanese name with the Armored Cannon Beetle, and Olimar's notes in the Japanese version of ''Pikmin 4'' appear to incorporate the Armored Cannon Beetle's notes from ''Pikmin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s enemy reel. The only evidence for it being a new creature includes differences in design beyond graphical improvements, and the unclear nature of Olimar's statement.
