Beady Short Legs

The Beady Short Legs is an enemy appearing in Pikmin: The After Years, and is later seen in Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds. It is a small orange Beady Long Legs with more contrast to the body's colors. It is actually a Beady Long Legs in its larval stage. Beady Short Legs are about the size of a Red Bulborb and can still crush Pikmin, although in a smaller range.

Any type of Pikmin, even Purple Pikmin, can reach this creature's torso. It is still too high for leaders to hit, however. In Pikmin: Connection of the Worlds, however, leaders are able to hit the beast if the Ultra Fist has been obtained.

In Pikmin 3: The New Exploration
This creature will hop around instead of stomping around. They are usually alone, although they will typically fall along with a Beady Long Legs.

Olimar's notes

 * "This creature is in its first stage of life. It hasn't yet learned how to idle like its relatives, but it is still very dangerous nevertheless. It seems that the dangerous beady long legs use to be quite an energetic arachnorb."

Louie's notes

 * "All you have to do is deepfry this creature, and you have your own little snack. Just make sure to smother it with chocolate for extra flavor."
