 The '''Horned Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチカブト|Futa Kuchi Kabuto|Two-Mouthed Beetle}}) is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. It appears very similar to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]], but with a less metallic and more segmented shell, along with longer mandibles. The blowhole is also larger and higher up on the shell, pointing at an angle instead of being front facing. It's overall more detailed, but as these details are shared with the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]], these differences are likely due to graphical improvements.
 When breeding with the mature Armored Cannon Beetle, the larva will be highly aggressive and territorial. This behavior could explain either the wandering larva in ''Pikmin 2'', or the larva that constantly shoot boulders in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

-{{game help|p4|Transcribe notes about this enemy, though remember that all transcribed notes will be replaced with notes from the game files eventually.}}
-=== Dalmo's Notes ===
-{{transcript|Its giant shiny-black carapace is one of the precious stones of the natural world! When it lifts its ebony wings, the briefly visible flesh beneath creates a striking color contrast. This is a living work of art that transcends the imagination.|block=y}}
-=== Olimar's Notes ===
-{{transcript|Males of this species are known for their hornlike blowholes. When females reach maturity, their blowhole closes and they lose the ability to launch rocks.
-At the start of breeding season, the females lay eggs on rocks launched by a male. The rocks then become food for the growing larvae.
-Though once mistaken for adult Armored Cannon Beetles, this species is actually a naturalized non-native species that migrated here from another continent.
-The Horned Cannon Beetle can breed with adult Armored Cannon Beetles, but only about half of the eggs will actually hatch. This hybrid species has the potential to seriously pollute the gene pool. Furthermore, it exhibits aggressive territorial behavior, sometimes launching boulders at young Armored Cannon Beetles, which has driven the latter species to the verge of extinction.|block=y}}
-=== Louie's Notes ===
-{{transcript|Drop into boiling water, and let it cook until the shell turns red. Remove from the pot and peel. Sprinkle the drained meat with rock salt.}}
