The '''Arachnode''' ({{j|マリグモ|Mari Gumo|{{w|Temari (toy)|Temari}} Spider}}) is an [[arachnorb]]-like enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and the first arachnid-based enemy in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]] with an interactable web. While dormant on its web, it resembles a cocoon, with a black and yellow striped and sphere-shaped body. This shape and coloring comes from the eight legs wrapped tightly around its body; the actual body is a small black orb with yellow circles instead of stripes. Once a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] or [[leader]] gets caught in the web, it uncurls 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.
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.


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.

Its behavior and anatomy differ from both the [[Arachnorb family|arachnorb]] and [[Dweevil family|dweevil]] families: they both have noticeably longer and thinner legs than the Arachnode, and neither eat Pikmin when fought. The game states that they are related, albeit distantly.

{{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==
==Behavior==
The Arachnode sits still when nothing is near, but when a [[leader]] or a 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 pretty 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.

[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in just three hits, 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 ==
* 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.
