See the Horned Cannon Beetle talk page, their the same. As it turns out, it wasnt the beetle who was misidentified, but the larva, which I think I can live with.

The ''' | The '''Horned Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth Tokkuri}}), originally classified as the Armored Cannon Beetle, is a boss in {{p1}} and {{p4}}. It is a large, black, almost shiny beetle with a thick, rounded shell of armor and a blowhole above its head. It attacks by inhaling through this opening and subsequently firing a rolling rock from its mouth that travels in a straight path, which [[Crushing|crushes]] any small creature in its path, and only stops when it hits a wall or another enemy. To defeat the creature, one must attack its abdomen: attacking other parts of the creature (like its legs) won't damage it. | ||
This enemy is only found in [[The Forest of Hope]], where one is guarding the [[Radiation Canopy]], and [[The Distant Spring]], where one has ingested the [[Bowsprit]]. As a side-note, Olimar can destroy the rocks by [[punch]]ing them; this does not work with the rock-producing [[lithopod]]s in {{p2}}, however. The boulders can also instantly kill a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]; the bug is left visibly flattened after being rolled over by a rock. | This enemy is only found in [[The Forest of Hope]], where one is guarding the [[Radiation Canopy]], and [[The Distant Spring]], where one has ingested the [[Bowsprit]].

The [[Armored Cannon Larva]] was once believed to be the larval form, but it is actually the larval form of the Strong=Armed Cannon Beetle. For whatever reason, the original beetle was renamed instead of the larva in ''Pikmin 4''. | ||

*Its boulders are programmed to crush Dwarf Bulborbs and Dwarf Bulbears, and leaving them flattened. This can be seen for the former by leading one so it is in range to be hit by a boulder, and in the case for the latter, leading one to the Armored Cannon Beetle in The Distant Spring. They are also programmed to crush Water Dumples, despite there not being a scenario where an Armored Cannon Beetle could fire at one normally.{{cite web|https://twitter.com/QuoteBalrog/status/1337822186325692417|Twitter post|Twitter|published={{date|12|December|2020}}|retrieved={{date|12|December|2020}}}} | *Its boulders are programmed to crush Dwarf Bulborbs and Dwarf Bulbears, and leaving them flattened.

* | *Lost in translation, this creature was meant to be separate from the Larva, with the larva being seperate, and actually from the Strong-Armed Cannon Beetle. This error has been remedied in ''Pikmin 4'', but for whatever reason, the original enemy was renamed instead, despite having the stronger carapace. | ||
