In ''Pikmin 2'', the rocks that are shot out cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]]; however, they can be destroyed if a Purple Pikmin is [[throw]]n on them. In addition, leaders can withstand a rock collision without suffering damage or knockback by [[Lie down|lying down]].

When a mature Armored Cannon Beetle and a mature Horned Cannon Beetle breed, the resulting larva are territorial and aggressive. This behavior may be attributed to either the wandering larva in ''Pikmin 2'', or the larva that constantly shoot rocks in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''.

At times, Armored Cannon Larvae might appear buried in the ground, instead of free-roaming. They will never unearth more than half of their body, and will not move from their spot.
At times, Armored Cannon Larvae might appear buried in the ground, instead of free-roaming. They will never unearth more than half of their body, and will not move from their spot. This is only a special state in ''Pikmin 2'', as it is the only version of the enemy in later games.


In ''Pikmin 2'', a buried larva is internally recognized as a different enemy from the "normal" one. It has a lot more [[health]] than the walking counterpart. Due to what appears to be [[Mistake|oversight]]s, this buried version cannot be stunned by [[Purple Pikmin]], and defeating it will not work for unlocking the Armored Cannon Larva entry on the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]], though this was fixed for the Switch port. While game files indicate that the buried version has the same stun time and stun chance as the roaming one, the buried larva cannot be stunned since it is connected to the ground.
