'''Baldy Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Orb Spider}}) is a hairless variant of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]. Like other 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. In [[Mission Mode]] this creature will aimlessly wander the map, but in the [[Forgotten Cove]], it will stay in its arena. This trait is unique to this arachnorb.

Like other 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. Uniquely, in [[Tropical Forest]], this creature will follow a route all around the map, rather than spawning and staying within an arena.


The green and purple variant is most common, but there also exists a white and red version. A golden form is also encountered in the {{p3d}} [[Side Story]] titled [[Olimar's Comeback]].

{{todo|Does Olimar's entry in the Japanese release also differentiate it from the Beady Long Legs?}}
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.

This enemy could be considered as being the same creature as the [[Beady Long Legs]]. This is because in Japan it has the same name as the Beady Long Legs. It can however still be considered a unique enemy in its own sense given that the appearance and combat mechanics don't quite match up with [[Beady Long Legs]]'s. In addition, the localization crew for the game felt the need to differentiate this enemy from either of the other arachnorb by giving it a new name.
In the Japanese version, it has the same name as the [[Beady Long Legs]]. However, its appearance and battle mechanics both differ, and Olimar specifically distinguishes the two in his Piklopedia entry in {{p3d}}, pointing out both of the above.
