The '''Armored Cannon Beetle''' ({{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri|Two-Mouth Tokkuri}}) is the adult stage of an [[Armored Cannon Larva]], appearing in {{p1}}, with its larval stage appearing in {{p2}}, {{p3}}, 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 Pikmin 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. | |||
The [[ | 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 ''Pikmin 2'', however. The boulders can also instantly kill a [[Dwarf Bulborb]]; the bug is left visibly flattened after being rolled over by a rock. | ||
While this creature does not appear outside of the original ''Pikmin'' game, many other members of the [[Lithopod family]] appear throughout future titles, such as the mentioned Armored Cannon Larva and the [[Horned Cannon Beetle]], whose appearance and behavior are very similar to the Armored Canon Beetle. | |||

*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.
