-The '''Man-at-Legs''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">ダマグモキャノン) </span>is a member of the [[Arachnorb family]], and first appeared as a boss in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It's one of the few bio-mechanical creatures featured in the game, having a mostly mechanical torso sheathed in metal with four spindly legs - three of them are black, organic and spider-like, while the other one is mechanical. Several exhaust pipes on its body continually emit smoke. Unlike other Arachnorbs, it has no flat footpads to stomp [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with, but it can crush them occasionally with its bigger foot. Instead, it relies on its speed, quickly skittering around the room to avoid being attacked. When agitated, the panels of its underbelly separate and a machine gun-like weapon extends out, tracking any nearby targets via a laser sight before rapidly firing a barrage of explosive rounds at whatever it manages to lock onto. However, the Man-at-Legs is not in control of this, the machine extends the machine gun, the Man-at-Legs is actually gentle under the metal.

 Once the Man-At-Legs dies, fireworks sprays from its body before the entire creature violently explodes, quite unlike the other Arachnorbs, which simply disintegrate.

 ==Trivia==
-*Holes in its metal plating reveal "skin" with a texture similar to that of the [[Beady Long Legs]]. But the holes in the skin have a lava-like structure.
+*Holes in its metal plating reveal "skin" with a texture similar to that of the [[Beady Long Legs]].
 *Their scientific name, '''''Pseudoarachnia navaronia''''', means 'Navaronian Fake Spider'. The second part of the scientific name, ''navaronia'', is most likely a reference to the famous [[wikipedia:Guns of Navarone|Guns of Navarone]] given the creature's weapon of choice.
 *This enemy cannot be [[Ultra-Bitter Spray|petrified]] while it is dormant.
-*The name is a play on words of the term "man-at-arms", a professional soldier during the Middle Ages and possibly a "Portugese man o' war", a jellyfish-looking group of organisms.
