Armored Cannon Beetle
Character from Pikmin by Nintendo / Shigeru Miyamoto
A living artillery platform wrapped in impenetrable chitin — it inhales deeply, then launches boulders that crush everything in a straight line.
Also known as: Armored Cannon Beetle, Cannon Beetle
What They Know
- Its chitin shell is completely impenetrable — all Pikmin attacks bounce off the carapace harmlessly
- The blowhole on its head is its only vulnerability — a Pikmin thrown into the air intake during inhalation clogs the system and forces the shell open
- Launches boulders that roll in straight lines, crushing Pikmin and other creatures — the boulders stop only when hitting walls
- Found in the Forest of Hope (guarding the Radiation Canopy) and the Distant Spring (carrying the Bowsprit)
