The '''Beady Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo| | The '''Beady Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Orb Spider}}) is an enemy in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only attack it has is stomping around – which it does more quickly when damaged – and its multiple feet [[Crushing|crush]] any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] they land on. Its weak spot is its orbicular torso; given its height, [[Yellow Pikmin]] are normally needed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games it appears on. | ||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. It also has slightly different shaped feet. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less [[health]], slower movements, different cries, and their feet don't stick on the ground. When at low health, the Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints in ''Pikmin''. In ''Pikmin 2'', the creature's body will start to flake away at low health. | In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow.

Its Japanese name, {{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo}}, literally translates to "Orb Spider", once again reflecting the creature's spidery look and the spherical body. In the scientific name, ''Pseudoarachnia armoralis'', ''armoralis'' comes from the Latin ''armum'', which translates to "armor" and refers to its strong resistance. The creature's internal name in ''Pikmin 2'' is the same as its Japanese name, <code>damagumo</code>, but in ''Pikmin'', only the "spider" part of the word remains, making it <code>kumo</code>. | ||
