'''Baldy Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Ball Spider}}) is an [[Arachnorb]] that only appears in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and never on the Story mode. It is essentially just a tropical variant of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] without hair. Its only method of attack is [[crushing]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with its large feet. The feet are larger than that of [[Beady Long Legs]]. 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. In Japan, it has the same name as the Beady Long Legs.
The '''Baldy Long Legs''' ({{j|ハゲダマグモ|Hage Dama Gumo|Bald Orb Spider}}) is a hairless variant of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]. Like other [[Arachnorb family|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. Unlike the Shaggy Long Legs, its joints are black like the rest of the legs instead of a light green.


== Strategy ==
It is the only enemy in {{p3}} that cannot be found naturally in [[Story Mode]], and is exclusive to [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and [[Side Stories]]. However, it can still be added to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] by defeating a Shaggy Long Legs. It returns in {{p4}}, sporting its tropical look, independently of the Shaggy Long Legs (who does not appear at all).
 
==Relation to other arachnorbs==
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. The same logs also clarify the difference between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Beady Long Legs]]. This difference is the absence of wax on the Baldy Long Legs's exoskeleton, which allows Pikmin to climb it, unlike the Beady Long Legs. Beyond this, it also has flat footpads, a horizontal separation on the abdomen, and toes. These differences are of course shared with the Shaggy Long Legs.

=== Dalmo's Notes ===
{{Transcript|If you lie down and look up while this hulking critter is walking over, you'll be treated to an impressive view of its giant round body soaring past like an orbiting planet. Of course, you may get squished flat by one of its massive feet and become a star yourself!}}
 
== Locations ==
In {{p3}}, Baldy Long Legs are the only species to not appear in the game's [[Story Mode]].
 
In [[Mission Mode]], it can be found in the Collect Treasure stage for [[Forgotten Cove]] and the Battle Enemies stages for Tropical Forest, Tropical Wilds Remix, and Clockwork Chasm.
 
In [[Bingo Battle]], a Baldy Long Legs has a chance of spawning in a layout for [[Sandbox Kingdom]] or [[Jigsaw Fortress]].
 
In {{p3d}}, it also appears in the [[Side Stories]] stages [[Tundra]] and [[The Ship Restored]].
 
In {{p4}}, The Baldy Long Legs appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]] guarding The Autumnal Gully base. It may also appear in the [[Dandori Battle]] stage [[Final Battle]]. One is [[Cave|underground]] in the 15th sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]]. It can also be found in the [[night expedition]] for Abandoned Throne in the [[Giant's Hearth]], and Autumnal Gully in the Primordial Thicket.
 
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], one is found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]], holding the [[Radiation Canopy]].
 
== Strategy ==
{{guide}}
{{guide}}
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 has just stopped moving, so they can quickly reach the top before the Baldy Long Legs knocks them down. When they reach its head, they will attack it until the creature shakes them off. When it's 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 throw Pikmin directly at its core. [[Yellow Pikmin|Yellow]] and [[Winged Pikmin]] will reach it most of the time, but other Pikmin can do so too if they're thrown from a tall ledge. 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.

To save time in the Mission Mode stage [[Tropical Wilds Remix]], the player can simply leave 10 Winged Pikmin to kill the creature over time while the player focuses on other tasks. At the [[Clockwork Chasm]] in Battle enemies!, the Baldy Long Legs that appears here is easiest to defeat, as the elevated ledge it spawns on allows it to be dispatched with eight [[bomb rock]]s, which are plentiful on this stage.

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 Baldy Long Legs, which will probably result in many casualties and possibly even a [[Pikmin extinction]].
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', although healthier, the fight is nearly identical to its appearance ''Pikmin 3''. In the main campaign, a full squad of Winged Pikmin can make short work of it when it appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]], even without [[ultra-spicy spray]]s. During [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] however, the player will need to rely on Yellow Pikmin primarily to damage it, but can otherwise defeat it with little to no issue. The main exception is its appearance during the [[night expedition]], in the both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and [[Primordial Thicket]], where, while normal, is far more lethal to the mission as it can destroy [[Lumiknoll]]s and Tricknolls alike with relative ease. As [[Glow Pikmin]] cannot fly like Winged Pikmin, the player should tackle the creature as soon as possible, once enough Pikmin are in tow. A single Glowmob with enough Glow Pikmin is usually enough to kill it without it shaking Pikmin away, but they will usually be among the first among awakening creatures to enter its primal state during the night expeditions.
 
== Golden variant ==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:P3D Golden Baldy Long Legs.jpg|thumb|200px|The golden Baldy Long Legs.]]
 
In [[The Ship Restored]], the final stage of [[Olimar's Comeback]], a golden Baldy Long Legs can be found, alongside a golden Shaggy Long Legs, within the large arena at the bottom of the [[Formidable Oak]]. It behaves identically to the normal variety, with the only difference being its golden coloration. It contains the [[Analog Computer]], so defeating it is needed to complete the mission.
 
This version also has [[Music in Pikmin 3#Golden arachnorb battle|unique battle music]], which the other [[boss]]es in [[Side Stories]] do not have, including the Baldy Long Legs in [[Tundra]]. This indicates a sort of final boss nature, as the two golden arachnorbs are the last enemies one can encounter within the mode.

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 Baldy Long Legs, which will probably result in many casualties and possibly even a [[Pikmin extinction]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Unlike the [[Shaggy Long Legs]], the Baldy Long Legs does not shiver of cold without hair, as this is its natural state.
*The arctic variant of the Baldy Long Legs is never seen on its own, instead only being encountered when an arctic Shaggy Long Legs is stripped of its hair. The Baldy Long Legs in [[Tundra]] sports the species' "tropical" look despite its cold habitat.  
*The Baldy Long Legs is the only enemy in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that doesn't appear in Story mode.
*The Baldy Long Legs will expel a green slime from its abdomen as it dies.
*Upon death, the Baldy Long Legs will expel a green slime from its abdomen as it dies.
*Though a [[Shaggy Long Legs]] without hair looks very similar to a Baldy Long Legs, a Shaggy Long Legs' joints (where the hair once was) are of a light green color, while the Baldy Long Legs' joints are always black, blending in with the rest of its body.
*If the Baldy Long Legs steps on an [[enemy]], it will crush and kill it.
*If the Baldy Long Legs steps on an [[enemy]], it will crush and kill it.
*If [[Bingo Battle]] chooses a layout with a Baldy Long Legs, it is already in its starting position, instead of [[falling from the sky]].
*Uniquely, in [[Tropical Forest]], this creature will follow a route all around the map, rather than spawning and staying within an arena.
*If the chosen Bingo Battle stage's layout has a Baldy Long Legs, it already begins in its starting position, instead of falling from the sky.
*In the [[Collect Treasure!]] version of [[Forgotten Cove]], the creature drops a [[Crimson Banquet]]. Since the full fruit cannot fit inside the beast's body, the pieces appear smaller than normal when they fall out, and only then grow to their normal size in about half a second.
*When a Baldy Long Legs turns aggressive during night expeditions in ''Pikmin 4'', the bulging sections just above and below the dividing line of the main orb will glow, similar to the eyes of other creatures when riled up. As it does not have visible eyes, it is unknown what exact function this body part (or part of the body) could serve.
