The Baldy Long Legs is a boss in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Pikmin 4''. Like its hairy counterpart, it is also considered a mini-boss, however it is never accompanied by any boss music in the original Wii U release of ''Pikmin 3'' due to it only appearing in side modes which don't play boss music. It is the only Arachnorb that never stops moving around, save to shake off Pikmin. Although simpler to defeat than the [[Shaggy Long Legs]], its lack of resting and constant roaming make it a little harder.

It was the replacement for the [[Beady Long Legs]] in games past ''Pikmin 2''

The Beady Long Legs first appears as a boss in ''Pikmin'', and reappears in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' as a more common boss, in the main game and [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. The only attack it has is stomping around, but its large feet make this more dangerous than it sounds. Its body is its primary weak point; therefore, defeating it is easiest with [[Yellow Pikmin]], because they can be [[throw]]n higher. This point is a bit more moot in ''Pikmin 2'' given the lower altitude at which the orb reaches. The alternative strategy is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] at its legs. When defeated, it instantly disintegrates into dust, releasing the contents from its orbicular torso.

The Groovy Long Legs appears as a boss in ''[[Pikmin 4]]''. Its abdomen is covered in bright, eye-like lights reminiscent of a disco light ball, and it stomps to the beat of its own boss theme, which it can speed up and slow down at will; when angered, it stomps with enough force to knock the player and their Pikmin into the air and can do so with two legs at once. While its abdomen is large enough for any Pikmin to reach, it can release gas from the underside of its legs that [[confuse]]s Pikmin and forces them to "dance" directly underneath its body and feet, leaving them helpless if the player doesn't anticipate when it uses the gas.

The Raging Long Legs is a boss in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It bears a resemblance to the Beady Long Legs in overall body structure, but has bigger, hairier feet, a larger body, is shiny and black with purple bands, and moves more slowly. Like the Beady Long Legs, if it is harmed enough that it becomes agitated, it shakes any attacking Pikmin off and starts stomping madly. This is extremely dangerous since its feet are very large, and Pikmin take a little time to get up after they are shaken off. Its body is so large, however, that any kind of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can be thrown without waiting, and dodging it should be a rather trivial thing, so it isn't hard to defeat as long as Pikmin are called back before it rages.

It was replaced by the [[Groovy Long Legs]] in ''Pikmin 4'', seeing as their traits are very similar.

The Shaggy Long Legs is a mini-boss only in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', with a general body structure similar to that of the Beady Long Legs, only with hair covering its torso and its legs' joints. The hair and overall body color varies depending on the area it is found. In order to defeat the creature, Pikmin must climb up its legs, and when they reach a hairy joint, they will stop to pluck the hairs. When a joint is plucked of its hair, the creature will shake the leg which got its hair plucked, throwing the Pikmin off of it and to the ground. After all joints are plucked of their hair, the main torso's hair falls off, and it finally becomes vulnerable to Pikmin attacks.
