Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs. While mostly equivalent to boulders in functionality, snowballs are incapable of killing Pikmin, instead simply picking them up and carrying them along until they crash into something (even other snowballs); [[Winged Pikmin]] won't even be picked up by the projectiles, only knocked back. Leaders will be picked up as well, which also traps them until the snowball is destroyed. As a result, the creature is annoying at best, and is only a threat if the Pikmin it rolls away end up next to some other enemy or [[hazard]] without the player noticing, but can be killed with relative ease by any Pikmin type.

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===

{{transcript|The Arctic Cannon Larva is a large, burrowing creature that attacks by launching large Snowballs at its enemies. These Snowballs won't damage your Pikmin directly, but they are capable of incapacitating your Pikmin or carrying them into hazards. When you encounter an Arctic Cannon Larva, dodge its attacks and flank the creature. Throw a steady stream of Rock Pikmin into the creature's back, or send your entire squad charging in to attack.|block=y}}

==Behavior==

|common    = Arctic Cannon Larva. With a name similar to the [[Armored Cannon Larva]], this enemy is called {{w|arctic}} because it lives in cold environments, and is themed around snow.

|jpcommon  = {{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi}}. It comes from the Japanese nickname of the Armored Cannon Larva, and the word {{j|ユキ|Yuki|Snow|f=tp}}.  

|scientific = ''Granitus frostitum''. It contains the word "frost", a layer of ice.

|internal  = Internally, it is considered the same enemy as the Armored Cannon Larva, so it shares the same internal name, but when it needs to be disambiguated, its name is <code>yuki</code>, which means {{j|ユキ|yuki|snow|f=tp}}.
