==Notes==
===''Pikmin 3'' Website===
''"An eight-legged creature that traps its prey in a sticky web."''
===''Pikmin 3 ''Prima Guide===
''"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."''
The Arachnode will remain dormant until Pikmin are [[throw]]n, or in the case of [[Winged Pikmin]], fly into its net. After a while, it will stand up and wander to the Pikmin, consuming them quickly once it has reached them. It may also wander around the web freely in order to avoid Pikmin being thrown at it. The web will collapse once the Arachnode is defeated.


==Battle Strategy==
Winged Pikmin carrying objects back to the [[Onion]]s and [[S.S. Drake]] will get stuck in webs that are along their route, but they can nonetheless carry Olimar underneath the web that is in the Formidable Oak without any trouble.
To defeat an Arachnode, 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|Rock&nbsp;Pikmin]] as they can make short work of the Arachnode) directly at it to cause damage. To ensure that no Pikmin die, [[Yellow Pikmin]] may be thrown at it, as they can reach it without it even moving. [[Winged Pikmin]] can also do this, but it will take longer to kill the creature because they are weaker. Once defeated, its web will break apart and the creature will be ready to be taken to back to the [[Onions|Onion]]. If you're quick enough, you can quickly land three consecutive hits from Rock Pikmin on it, instantly killing it. One thing to note is that the Arachnode can eat your pikmin from the other side of the web, only Rock Pikmin can attack it from the other side of the web.

[[Rock Pikmin]] will kill an Arachnode in a single hit. Though it is not grounded, the Arachnode does not count as an airborne enemy, and Winged Pikmin deal little damage, so using them is only recommended if no Rock Pikmin are present and the Winged group is rather large. The Arachnorb can eat Pikmin from either side of the web, yet can only be attacked from the side it is on.

The Arachnode is a spider-like enemy in Pikmin 3. It is the first arachnid-based enemy in the Pikmin series with an interactable web. While dormant on its web, it has 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. Its behavior and anatomy differ from both the Arachnorb and Dweevil family: they both have noticeably longer and thinner legs than the Arachnode, and neither eat Pikmin when fought. The game gives no information as to the relations of the different families.

The Arachnode will remain dormant until Pikmin are thrown, or in the case of Winged Pikmin, fly into its net. After a while, it will stand up and wander to the Pikmin, consuming them quickly once it has reached them. It may also wander around the web freely in order to avoid Pikmin being thrown at it. The web will collapse once the Arachnode is defeated.

Winged Pikmin carrying objects back to the Onions and S.S. Drake will get stuck in webs that are along their route, but they can nonetheless carry Olimar underneath the web that is in the Formidable Oak without any trouble.

Strategy

Rock Pikmin will kill an Arachnode in a single hit. Though it is not grounded, the Arachnode does not count as an airborne enemy, and Winged Pikmin deal little damage, so using them is only recommended if no Rock Pikmin are present and the Winged group is rather large. The Arachnorb can eat Pikmin from either side of the web, yet can only be attacked from the side it is on.

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.

Trivia

  • It is possible that Arachnodes are a part of or related to the Arachnorb family due to the fact that they share features such as being orb shaped and being split in the middle vertically.
