The '''Man-at-legs''' ({{j|ダマグモキャノン|Dama Gumo Kyanon| | The '''Man-at-legs''' ({{j|ダマグモキャノン|Dama Gumo Kyanon|Orb Spider Cannon}}) is a member of the [[Arachnorb family]], and first appeared as a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It's one of the few bio-mechanical creatures featured in the game, having a mostly mechanical torso sheathed in metal with four spindly legs – three of them are black, organic and spider-like, while the other one is mechanical; this makes attacking its feet impossible. Several exhaust pipes on its body continually emit smoke. Unlike other Arachnorbs, it has no flat footpads to stomp [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with, instead relying on its long-ranged attacks and speed, quickly skittering around the room to avoid being attacked. When agitated, it stops in place, the panels of its underbelly separate and a machine gun-like weapon extends out, tracking any nearby targets via a laser sight before rapidly firing a barrage of explosive rounds at whatever it manages to lock-on to. After firing a few dozen shots, with minimal breaks in-between, it sheathes its weapon before continuing to move about. While moving, it will occasionally stand still to rest, and at this point, mechanical-sounding inhales can be heard. | ||
Its interior appears to be filaments of biological matter that stretch to allow its gun to fold out. The creature is not without its flaws, though: it lets off steam with a loud hiss before it attacks, signaling [[Olimar|Olimar's]] retreat, and there is a visible red laser it uses to target the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], making it obvious where it's going to shoot. However, the blasts come very quickly, so the laser is not of much use when avoiding the enemy. | Its interior appears to be filaments of biological matter that stretch to allow its gun to fold out.
