Raging Long Legs (ゾウノアシ?, lit.: "Elephant Feet") is a boss in Pikmin 2. It is related to the Beady Long Legs, but has bigger, hairier feet, a bigger body (to the point where any Pikmin can reach it with relative ease) that is glossy black with purple veins, and moves more slowly. It is also much stronger, and so takes longer to kill. Like the Beady Long Legs, the beast shakes Pikmin off and starts stomping angrily if enough damage is dealt to it that it becomes agitated; this is more dangerous due to the size of its feet. The fact that it has a larger body means any kind of Pikmin can be thrown onto it without waiting, which makes attacking easier.

The size of its feet means they harm Pikmin and enemies alike. It dies in the same manner as the Beady Long Legs, ejecting its possessions from its body, crumbling into dust. If this creature does not have any treasure to drop, it will instead drop 30 Mitites. It can regain health if given the time.

This rare boss is only seen on the last sublevel (15) of the Hole of Heroes, the single sublevel of the Cavernous Abyss in Challenge Mode, and in the Angle Maze stage of 2-Player Battle if the selected layout is the one with a large central area.

Strategy

The following article or section contains guides.
The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Pikmin

Despite wielding feet much larger than the Beady Long Legs, this does not make it too much more of a threat. It is possible to stay underneath the creature's abdomen with a small squad of Pikmin without having to fear being crushed. This is because this enemy can't move its feet directly underneath its body, even when enraged, and so there is always a safe area right underneath the large orb. Since the Pikmin should be called back just before the enemy can shake them off, the amount of Pikmin that can be used are limited anyway, so a group of about 15 is recommended.

Due to how quickly it regenerates health, it is impossible to make progress in damaging the creature if the player uses only one or two Pikmin.

Leaders

The Raging Long Legs is impossible to defeat with leaders.

Notes

Olimar's notes

Arachnorbs boast a wondrous biological composition, with a silicon-based exoskeleton and innards coated with malleable heavy metals. However, much about these creatures remains a mystery, as specimens regularly explode when they are dissected. These explosions produce scorching flames that completely melt all internal organs, leaving us with a disappointing lack of information on the inner workings of the species. We must await the development of new dissection processes and more specialized research before we can better understand this enigmatic creature. However, the following observation notes have been recorded: appears to be leveling terrain for some unknown purpose... Location of eyes and ears not readily apparent... Freezing a specimen may yield new research opportunities.

Louie's notes

Neither boiling nor baking can diminish this creature's overpowering musky scent. Only suitable for serving to unpleasant in-laws.

Pikmin 2 Nintendo Player's Guide

Even though it's the largest spidery beast around and its stomping feet are huge, you'll be able to beat the Raging Long Legs with relative ease. Its body is large, low and easy to hit. Center yourself beneath it, attack with purples and be ready to pick up the pieces quickly after it shakes them off.

Naming

See more: Arachnorb family#Naming.
  • Common name: Raging Long Legs. It is distinguished from the Beady Long Legs with the word "raging", which may have been given because it goes into a rage fit when it takes heavy damage.
  • Japanese nickname: ゾウノアシ?. It literally translates to "Foot of Elephant". This is apt, given that its feet are quite massive.
  • Japanese name: スソビロツユハライ?, lit.: "Wide Hem Tsuyuharai".
  • Scientific name: Pseudoarachnia furiendis. Pseudoarachnia is the genus of all known arachnorbs, and furiendis is similar to the Latin furor, which means rage, once again tying in to the creature's short temper. Furiendis could also be related to the word fur, in reference to the creature's hair.
  • Internal names: Internally, the boss is known as bigfoot, once more because of its large feet.
  • Prerelease: None.

Trivia

  • The Raging Long Legs has the most health out of all creatures in Pikmin 2, even more than the final boss.
  • It can be implied that the Raging Long Legs is female, considering that Mitites are found inside of it subsequent times it is defeated – according to the Piklopedia entry for Mitites, they are parasitic creatures that spend their time inside the bodies of female hosts to lay their own eggs inside the host's ones.
  • It is unclear how Louie developed the recipe for the Raging Long Legs, as it completely dissolves on its death.
  • The Raging Long Legs, like the Beady Long Legs, does not technically have a falling animation; it immediately appears after the shadow "lands." [1]
  • In the Pikmin 3 Deluxe Side Story Olimar's Comeback, there is a golden form of the Shaggy Long Legs that has noticeably bigger feet, similarly to the Raging Long Legs.
