'''Decorated Cannon Beetles''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]]. They have | '''Decorated Cannon Beetles''' are enemies in [[Pikmin 2]]. They have an appearance similar to [[Armored Cannon Beetle Larva]]e, but are red instead of green, and have orange eyes. They, too, spit out stones, but their rocks home in on the currently active [[captain]] due to the magnetic field which envelops the boulders. This particular species is never found buried in the ground like Armored Cannon Beetle Larvae. Even when they are found in [[cave]]s which are made of metal (which is rusty, indicating it contains iron), the spacesuits are the only thing the boulders home in on. | ||
The best way to defeat it is to go alone and wait for it to spit out a rock. Since the rocks follow the captain, they can be manipulated. However, it is impossible to get a rock out of a lower water-filled area. The rocks can follow the captain into the same Beetle that spat them out and damage themselves. This is the most simple and easy way to kill them. These rocks can also be used to defeat other enemies with the same method, but know that one rock can be crushed by another rock, so keep that in mind while guiding a rock. The longer a rock rolls, the more damage it'll do to the enemy it hits. As a note, the rocks it shoots out cannot be [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]. These boulders also act quite well against other enemies as well, killing small ones instantly and larger ones in one or two hits (depending on where they hit; if the boulder strikes the target's head, it will cause significantly more damage, even to the beetle itself). | The best way to defeat it is to go alone and wait for it to spit out a rock.
