-[[File:Spiderenemy-Pikmin3.jpg|thumb|It's true form is revealed once something is caught in its web, Alph in this case.]]The '''Arachnode''' is a spider-like creature in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. When undisturbed, they'll take on a cocoon-like appearance, but once a Pikmin or leader is caught in its web, it will reveal its true form and try to attack them.

-Their webs act as hazards for [[Winged Pikmin]]. When Winged Pikmin are carrying anything back to the Onion, and a Arachnode and its web are in the way, the Winged Pikmin will get stuck, putting them at risk of being devoured.
+The '''Arachnode''' ({{j|マリグモ|Mari Gumo|{{w|Temari (toy)|Temari}} Spider}}) is a spider-like [[enemy]] in {{p3}} and {{p4}} that live on interactable webs. While dormant on their webs, Arachnodes resemble cocoons, with a black and yellow striped and sphere-shaped bodies. This shape and coloring comes from the eight legs wrapped tightly around their bodies; their actual bodies are small black orbs with yellow circles instead of stripes. Once a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]] gets caught in an Arachnode's web, it will uncurl its legs after a while, and wanders up to its prey, consuming them quickly once it has reached them. It may also wander around the web freely in order to avoid Pikmin that are being thrown at it. The web will collapse once the Arachnode is defeated.

-To defeat it, a Pikmin or leader must be thrown at its web. After being caught in the web, the creature will try to eat the immobilized Pikmin or leader. At this time, throw another Pikmin (preferably Rock Pikmin) directly at it to cause damage. Once defeated, its web will break apart and the creature will be ready to be taken to back to the [[Onions|Onion]].
+Pikmin caught in the web can be saved by whistling at them. This is important, especially with a small squad, as Pikmin shaken off by the Arachnode will usually get stuck in the web. [[Winged Pikmin]] carrying objects will get stuck in webs that are along their route, making webs the primary [[obstacle]] for these types of Pikmin.

+{{transcript|The Arachnode is only able to attack Pikmin that become tangled in its web. When you first encounter a web, look for the attached Arachnode. To defeat the enemy quickly, throw a few Rock Pikmin directly at an Arachnode. You can also use a squad of Winged Pikmin to overwhelm an Arachnode with a single charge attack.
+Because the Arachnode's web is fairly tall, the creature often moves out of your standard throwing range. Use Yellow Pikmin or Winged Pikmin to attack an Arachnode when it retreats to the top of its web. If any of your Pikmin become ensnared in the web, use the whistle to rescue them. When you defeat an Arachnode, its web unravels.|block=y}}
+===Dalmo's Notes===
+{{transcript|It has an agreeable personality, and as long as a meal doesn't get caught in its web, it will sit there, curled up into a cuddly ball and waiting. You'll have to throw some food or even use yourself as bait if you wish to see it moving. What a leisurely method of hunting!|block=y}}
+==Behavior==
+The Arachnode sits still when nothing is near, but when a [[leader]] or a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is thrown into its web, it will take on its spider-like form and attack its ensnared prey. It eats Pikmin by clamping down on them with its wide mouth, and it eats them quickly, so it can be difficult to save them in time. When all Pikmin are removed from the web, the Arachnode will take a moment and then go back into its resting state. It does not return to a specific point on the web to rest, so it can be put in a more vulnerable position for a second attack. When an Arachnode is defeated, it will fall to the ground and its web will collapse.
+If unsupervised Winged Pikmin carry an item right into an Arachnode's web, they will get stuck, whatever goods they had will fall to the ground, and the creature will proceed to eat them. Fortunately, Arachnodes pose no threat to any other types of Pikmin when left unattended.
+Bizarrely, when a [[leader]] is thrown into an Arachnode's web, said leader will become slightly two-dimensional. If the enemy attacks, the leader may shrink even further or disappear altogether. This is merely aesthetic, however.
+== Strategy ==
+{{guide}}
+[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in just three hits (just two in ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe''<nowiki/>'s Normal [[difficulty]]), and can hit the Arachnode from either side of its web. Other Pikmin types can only attack the Arachnode on the side in which it rests, and they can get stuck if the Arachnode is too high or if they are thrown from too close to the web. Winged Pikmin are best for getting an Arachnode down from a high point in its web since they can [[charge]] at it, after which point other, stronger Pikmin can be employed. If Winged Pikmin are not available, any Pikmin can latch on to a low-resting Arachnode with a careful throw, and [[Yellow Pikmin]] can usually reach a high-resting one. As a last resort, a Pikmin or a leader can be thrown into the web to bait the Arachnode into a vulnerable position.

-==Trivia==
-*This is the first true arachnid in the ''Pikmin'' series, forming its own web while also having a full set of eight legs, unlike the Arachnorb or Dweevil family.
+== Trivia ==
-[[Category:Pikmin 3 Enemies]]
+* The Arachnode is the only spider based enemy in the main series to have eight legs, as all [[Arachnorb family|Arachnorbs]] and [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] have only four.
