Armored Cannon Larva: Difference between revisions

The creature's initial name, Armored Cannon Beetle Larva, is because of the fact that it is a larva of the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]. That is the name the enemy has in the US and European [[region]]s of both {{p2}} and {{npcp2}}. For {{p3}}, the "Beetle" part was removed, and in addition, because of spelling, the word "Armored" became "Armoured" in the European version of the game. In Japan, they are called {{j|フタクチドックリ|Futa Kuchi Dokkuri}}, which is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's Japanese name.

 

Their scientific name, ''Granitus chukkulinae'', is the same as the Armored Cannon Beetle's scientific name. Internally, the free-roaming Armored Cannon Larva is identified as <code>kabuto</code> in ''Pikmin 2'', which is the word used for an armor's helmet, while the buried variant is known as <code>fkabuto</code> &ndash; the letter <code>f</code> before an enemy's name is often used in ''Pikmin 2'' to identify an alternate version of a normal enemy. In ''Pikmin 3'', its internal name is <code>futakuchi</code>, which is the first part of its Japanese name.
