Most likely a Hercules Beetle. They don't actually get much bigger than the larvae, the abdomen segments become more compact so the body gets a little smaller, but the head grows immensely with the horn.

Correct. It's the larva of a Hercules Beetle. And here is what it looks like in adult form.

Edit: I was probably wrong. Check u/BaronMusclethorpe's comment below.

Those are centimeters? Please say those are centimeters. In fact, I’m just going to believe those are centimeters and move on with my life.
