The '''Baldy Long Legs''' ({{j|ハゲダマグモ|Hage Dama Gumo|Bald Orb Spider}}) is a hairless variant of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]. Like other [[Arachnorb family|arachnorbs]], it is quite large, its only method of attack is [[crushing]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with its large feet, and its circular core is its weak-point. Unlike the Shaggy Long Legs, its joints are black like the rest of the legs instead of a light green.

 

It is the only enemy in {{p3}} that cannot be found naturally in [[Story Mode]], and is exclusive to [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and [[Side Stories]]. However, it can still be added to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] by defeating a Shaggy Long Legs. It returns in {{p4}}, sporting its tropical look, independently of the Shaggy Long Legs (who does not appear at all).

In the original release of {{p3}}, the relation between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] was not known, and since they were both identified with different names when [[lock-on|locked-on]], they were considered different creatures. However, in {{p3d}}, Olimar's comment in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] explains how it is simply the same creature, but without hair. Nevertheless, he notes how, because the hair never grows back, it is considered a different species. The same logs also clarify the difference between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Beady Long Legs]]. This difference is the absence of wax on the Baldy Long Legs's exoskeleton, which allows Pikmin to climb it, unlike the Beady Long Legs. Beyond this, it also has flat footpads, a horizontal separation on the abdomen, and toes. These differences are of course shared with the Shaggy Long Legs.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===

In {{p3}}, Baldy Long Legs are the only species to not appear in the game's [[Story Mode]].

In [[Bingo Battle]], a Baldy Long Legs has a chance of spawning in a layout for [[Sandbox Kingdom]] or [[Jigsaw Fortress]].

In {{p4}}, The Baldy Long Legs appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]] guarding The Autumnal Gully base. It may also appear in the [[Dandori Battle]] stage [[Final Battle]]. One is [[Cave|underground]] in the 15th sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]]. It can also be found in the [[night expedition]] for Abandoned Throne in the [[Giant's Hearth]], and Autumnal Gully in the Primordial Thicket.

In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], one is found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], holding the [[Radiation Canopy]].

{{see more|Arachnorb family#Naming}}

|common    = Baldy Long Legs. The name is based off that of the [[Beady Long Legs]], but with "Baldy" pointing out its lack of hair, compared to its original form - the [[Shaggy Long Legs]].  

|scientific = ''Pseudoarachnia calvitium''. ''Calvitium'' is derived from "calvus", which is Latin for "bald". This is, once again, in reference to its lack of hair.

|jpcommon  = {{j|ハゲダマグモ|Hage Dama Gumo|Bald Orb Spider}}. Its Japanese common name comes from {{j|はげ|hage|bald|f=tp}}, {{j|玉|tama|ball|f=tp}} and {{j|くも|kumo|spider|f=tp}} making it the bald ball spider.

|jpname    = {{j|ハダカオグシツユハライ|Hadaka Ogushi Tsuyuharai|Bare Hair {{w|Tsuyuharai}}}}. {{j|オグシツユハライ|Ogushi Tsuyuharai|Hair {{w|Tsuyuharai}}|f=tp}} is the Japanese name for the Shaggy Long Legs.

|internal  = Internally, it is called <code>hagedamagumo</code>, the same as its Japanese nickname.

*The arctic variant of the Baldy Long Legs is never seen on its own, instead only being encountered when an arctic Shaggy Long Legs is stripped of its hair. The Baldy Long Legs in [[Tundra]] sports the species' "tropical" look despite its cold habitat.

*The Baldy Long Legs will expel a green slime from its abdomen as it dies.

*When a Baldy Long Legs turns aggressive during night expeditions in ''Pikmin 4'', the bulging sections just above and below the dividing line of the main orb will glow, similar to the eyes of other creatures when riled up. As it does not have visible eyes, it is unknown what exact function this body part (or part of the body) could serve.
