Notes

A beautiful armored bug that sparkles like a diamond. The sight of it busily tromping along...the way it sucks in air and spews out snowballs... Everything about it is remarkable! While standing transfixed by its stunning appearance, you'll end up covered in snow for sure!

Olimar

Upon reaching maturity, the blowhole on its head closes, leaving in its place the pointed crest of the Arctic Cannon Beetle's shell. In order to get enough food in nutrient-deficient environments, adult specimens start breathing through their mouths. Some experts have posited that this adaptation caused the species to lose territorial competitions with the Armored Cannon Larva, driving it into colder environments. Though this Beetle has increased suction strength, it must ventilate via a spiracle on its abdomen and open its shell to avoid rapid body inflation.

Louie

Boil the meaty legs until fully cooked, then drizzle with a generous amount of lemon juice. Once the juice has seeped its way into the muscle fibers, suck the meat out of the shell with one big slurp.
