The best Pikmin suited for the battle are [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and [[Winged Pikmin]]. Rock Pikmin are immune to crushing, and can still climb up the Arachnorb's legs, making them good choices to take out the hair with. A medium-sized group is best so that all Pikmin do not get shaken off. Once all hair is removed, Winged Pikmin can simply fly up to the abdomen of the creature, allowing for a quick fight. [[Ultra-spicy spray]] makes ending the battle even quicker with this strategy. To note however is that Rock Pikmin that climb up the legs will only hit the exposed core once before falling off by themselves. If you can it's best to bombard it by throwing the Rock Pikmin directly onto the exposed core from underneath dealing massive damage, quicker and more effectively. However you will need to throw them fast as not all of them will go high enough to hit it. | The best Pikmin suited for the battle are [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and [[Winged Pikmin]].

In [[The Ship Restored]], the final stage of [[Olimar's Comeback]], a golden Shaggy Long Legs can be found, alongside a golden Baldy Long Legs, within the large arena at the bottom of the [[Formidable Oak]]. Aside from its gold color, it behaves identically to the normal variety. Unlike them, however, is its larger feet (similar to the [[Raging Long Legs]] from {{p2}}) that cover a much wider range when stomping. It contains the [[Nova Blaster]], so defeating it is needed to complete the mission. | In [[The Ship Restored]], the final stage of [[Olimar's Comeback]], a golden Shaggy Long Legs can be found, alongside a golden Baldy Long Legs, within the large arena at the bottom of the [[Formidable Oak]].

Something that is "shaggy" has a lot of long hair. Its Japanese common name comes from {{j|毛玉|kedama|hairball|f=tp}} and {{j|くも|kumo|spider|f=tp}} making it the hair ball spider. However it's also a joke on the [[Beady Long Legs]] which is called {{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Orb Spider|f=tp}} but starting with {{j|ケ|ke|hair|f=tp}}, making it {{j|ケダマグモ|Ke Dama Gumo|Hairy Orb Spider|f=tp}}. | Something that is "shaggy" has a lot of long hair.

Its scientific name is ''Pseudoarachnia capillum'', with ''capillum'' being derived from "capillus", which is Latin for "hair". This is, once again, in reference to its long hair. | Its scientific name is ''Pseudoarachnia capillum'', with ''capillum'' being derived from "capillus", which is Latin for "hair".

* The Shaggy Long Legs' animation changes depending on its body condition. While it has hair, it will stomp faster than without it.
