Armored Cannon Larva: Difference between revisions

{{see also|Armored Cannon Beetle#Naming}}

The creature's first name, Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, is because of the fact that it is a larva of the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]. That is the name the enemy has in the US and European [[region]]s of both {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}. For {{p3}}, the "Beetle" part was removed, and in addition, because of spelling, the word "Armored" became "Armoured" in the European version of the game. In Japan, they are called {{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri}}, which is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's Japanese name.

Their scientific name, ''granitus chukkulinae bambinii'', is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's scientific name, but with ''bambinii'' added, which is Latin for "child". Internally, the free-roaming Armored Cannon Larva is identified as <code>kabuto</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the word used for an armor's helmet, while the buried variant is known as <code>fkabuto</code> &ndash; the letter <code>f</code> before an enemy's name is often used in ''Pikmin 2'' to identify an alternate version of a normal enemy. In ''Pikmin 3'', its internal name is <code>futakuchi</code>, which is the first part of its Japanese name.
