Baldy Long Legs (ダマグモ) is an Arachnorb only appearing in Pikmin 3. It is essentially just a tropical variant of the Shaggy Long Legs without hair. Its only method of attack is crushing Pikmin with its large feet. The feet are larger than that of Beady Long Legs. It also is known to aimlessly wander the map, as it will not stay in one location.
Strategy
Like all Arachnorbs, the weak point of the Baldy Long Legs is its abdomen, which is suspended high up in the air by its spindly legs. As it marches around the field, it will crush anything in its path, so be sure to steer clear of its large, trampling feet. Instead, throw Pikmin at its legs to make them climb up. Be sure to throw them at the leg that had just stopped moving, so they can quickly reach the top before the Long Legs knocks them down. When they reach its head, they will attack it until the creature shakes them off. When it is about to shake, whistle your Pikmin off and wait for it to resume its stomping before you throw more at it.
Another strategy is to use Ultra-Spicy Spray and any color Pikmin; Simply wait until the Long Legs is near an elevated ledge, and you can throw Pikmin of any kind directly onto its head. This tactic can be used to quickly get rid of it with little to no Pikmin losses, as it will be too busy shaking off Pikmin to attack.
If encountered in a Bingo Battle stage, it is recommended that the players do not fight it together, as the player's Pikmin will be more prone to attacking the other player's Pikmin, rather than the Long Legs, which will probably result in many casualties and possibly even a Pikmin Extinction.
Trivia
- Unlike the Shaggy Long Legs, the Baldy Long Legs does not shake without hair, as this is its natural state.
- The Baldy Long Legs almost never rests, only stopping occasionally to shake off Pikmin.
- The Baldy Long Legs is the first and currently the only Challenge Mode-exclusive creature in the entire Pikmin series, appearing in Tropical Forest and a few levels in Bingo Battle.
- Also, unlike other Arachnorbs, there is no boss or miniboss music to accompany the Baldy Long Legs.
- If a Baldy Long Legs has nothing to drop upon death, such as the two that are fought in the Round 2 DLC level, "Tropical Wilds Remix", it will expell a green slime from its abdomen as it dies.
