Arctic Cannon Beetle

The Arctic Cannon Beetle is a boss that appears in frigid environments, and is the Armored Cannon Beetle's arctic equivalent. Upon spotting prey, such as Pikmin, the Arctic Cannon Beetle will inhale air and falling snow through its blowhole and shoot an ice ball out of its mouth. This ice ball will crush any Pikmin caught in its path and temporarily slow others that brush against it, save for Cyan Pikmin, who will only be crushed due to their immunity to cold climates. Any Pikmin other than Cyan Pikmin brushing against the Arctic Cannon Beetle's cold exterior will be chilled as well. When a Pikmin is thrown into its blowhole as it inhales, the Arctic Cannon Beetle will open the flaps on its back to expose its cool, tender, and vulnerable back. The Arctic Cannon Beetle will backpeddle away from Pikmin while it is vulnerable, but will turn very slowly. Any Pikmin other than Cyan Pikmin will be chilled upon attacking its backside, and thus deliver less damage. After taking a considerable amount of damage, the Arctic Cannon Beetle will close its flaps and continue firing ice balls, and another Pikmin can be thrown into its blowhole to repeat the process.
