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}}. 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". | |||

*In the end of day sequence at the [[Valley of Repose]], a Decorated Cannon Beetle often appears. Sometimes it will shoot rocks (which occasionally strike and injure/kill other enemies), inhale, and walk much faster than normal. | *In the end of day sequence at the [[Valley of Repose]], a Decorated Cannon Beetle often appears.

*If the game is paused just as the creature makes its first dying sound, some strange noises will be heard, that get lower and lower, lasting for more than 10 seconds. The same will happen with an Armored Cannon Beetle Larva. | *If the game is paused just as the creature makes its first dying sound, some strange noises will be heard, that get lower and lower, lasting for more than 10 seconds.

*The Decorated Cannon Beetle's boulders act much like the [[mariowiki:Red Shell|red shells]] from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, in that both home in on targets. In addition, both the creature and shells share the same red coloration. This same similarity applies to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]] and [[mariowiki:Green Shell|green shells]]. | *The Decorated Cannon Beetle's boulders act much like the [[mariowiki:Red Shell|red shells]] from the ''[[mariowiki:Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, in that both home in on targets.
