Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

It emerges from its burrow to spout fire. Why does it do this? Some things, evidently, need no reason.

NamingEdit

See more: Lithopod family#Naming.
  • Common name: Firesnout Beetle. This creature's name differs from the Armored Cannon Beetle Larva's with the word "Firesnout", which refers to its fire-shooting ability and, like other lithopods, its snout, from which the fire comes from. The lack of the word "Larva" is likely due to the absence of an adult stage.
  • Japanese nickname: ヒフキドックリ?, lit.: "Fire Breathing Tokkuri". ドックリ? (lit.: "Tokkuri ") is present in the Japanese nickname of most lithopods and Fire Breathing is obviously chosen.
  • Japanese name: ヒフキイシツツミ?, lit.: "Fire Breathing Stone Wrapper".
  • Scientific name: Granignis ictum. Granignis is a portmanteau of Granitus, the genus of most lithopods, and ignis, Latin for fire. The meaning of ictum is unknown.
  • Internal names: Its internal name is hifuki. Its generator name is enemy_wall_flame.
  • Prerelease: None.
