The '''Groovy Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモインフェルノ|Dama Gumo Inferno|Inferno Orb Spider}}) is a member of the [[Arachnorb family]] and only appears once as a [[boss]] in {{P4}}. It is one of two bio-mechanical enemies seen in the game, with its carapace suggested to have been completely replaced with a spinning disco ball, with its numerous eyes serving as both photoelectric sensors and lights. The beast's four bony white legs are wrapped with strands that look similar to electrical wire and the second set of joints on all of its limbs have sets of four holes containing exocrine glands. The torso contains a speaker that plays all of the audio heard from the creature in-game.

内臓の一部に有機物を残すが、甲殻のほとんどが無機物でできているダマグモの仲間。第一関節の裏側から放出される気体には、獲物の脳に作用して一時的に行動を乗っ取る化学物質が含まれている。
特徴 その1 複数の眼
:19個の光る眼(光電センサー)で、獲物の位置を正確に把握する。
特徴 その2 地獄のダンス
:ピクミンが一心不乱に跳ね回る様子は、地獄のダンスと呼ばれている。
特徴 その3 機械か生物か?
:体を覆う被膜や垂れ下がるひもは、塩化ビニルのような高分子化合物でできている。

'''Translation'''
{{transcript|
An Arachnorb that, though it retains some organic matter in some of its internal organs, has a carapace made up mostly of inorganic matter. The gas emitted from the posterior of its first joints contains a chemical substance that acts on the brain of its prey and temporarily takes over its actions.
Feature #1: Multiple eyes
:The 19 glowing eyes (photoelectric sensors) allow it to precisely locate its prey.
Feature #2: Endless Dance
:The way the Pikmin bounce around single-mindedly is called the Endless Dance.
Feature #3: Machine or creature?
:The coating that covers its body and the dangling cords are made of a high-molecular compound similar to vinyl chloride.

* The music comes from the boss itself as {{w|diegetic music}}, since the creature is biomechanical, it moves to the beat of the song, it pauses its music when it stops moving to shake off Pikmin, it plays a quavering tune when it stumbles after stomping, and the treasure it drops is a speaker. The music itself can also be heard in a muted form while the boss is still inactive, and the lead instruments stop playing when the game is paused. This is presumably why it is the only creature to keep their battle music within the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]].
* The music most likely comes from the boss itself as {{w|diegetic music}}; background music that characters hear and react to in-universe. There is much evidence to support this: the creature is biomechanical, it moves to the beat of the song, it pauses its music when it stops moving to shake off Pikmin, it plays a quavering tune when it stumbles after stomping, and the treasure it drops is a speaker. The music itself can also be heard in a muted form while the boss is still inactive, and the lead instruments stop playing when the game is paused. This is presumably why it is the only creature to keep their battle music within the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]].
* When the Groovy Long Legs trips, the music plays a melody reminiscent of the [[Music in Pikmin 4#Leitmotifs|Pikmin motif]], signifying it's their chance to attack.

* The Groovy Long Legs marks the first time an Arachnorb's webbing has been seen up close, not as a shadow.
