'''Arctic Cannon | The '''Arctic Cannon Larva''' ({{j|ユキフタクチ|Yuki Futa Kuchi|Snow Two-Mouth}}) is an [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}}. Arctic Cannon Larvae are bright green, with lavender underbellies, and are a variant of the [[Armored Cannon Larva]] accustomed to cold conditions. They are the larval form of the [[Arctic Cannon Beetle]]. | ||
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. | Unlike their rock-spitting relatives, Arctic Cannon Larvae launch giant snowballs.
