In Pikmin Evolution
The Flaky Long Legs is a species of arachnorb that appears in Pikmin Evolution. Acting as a stand-in for the game's featured arachnorb, the Flaky Long Legs is a very common boss that appears in multiple locations. Its body is primarily white, with specks that can be different colors depending on the area, and has a more sturdy appearance compared to other arachnorbs, with what appears to be extendable support bars appearing between its leg segments. Unlike other arachnorbs, it is always visible, tending to cling to trees to slurp the tree sap inside. However, it is quite territorial, using its feet to cause tremors to scare away anything that crosses its territory. If the intruders remain and continue to disturb it, the Flaky Long Legs will drop down and attempt to crush them with its feet. However, the creature has an interesting design flaw in that it is sturdy enough to withstand large blunt impacts from bigger sources but not multiple small blunt force impacts. This fact is important as Pikmin can be thrown at the legs of a Flaky Long Legs to cause them to shatter into smaller fragments of a bark-like substance. Be aware that its constant stomping will shake off any Pikmin on the current leg. When all but one of its legs are broken, the arachnorb will fall over and reveal a fleshy bulbous weakpoint for Pikmin to attack. Despite being literally on its last leg, the Flaky Long Legs is still dangerous, as it will try to push Pikmin aside and scatter them, and since that leg is out of reach, it can't easily be hit. After a while, the Long Legs will repair its limbs and become faster the more health it loses. Depending on the location, the Flaky Long Legs may employ other battle tactics; some may have six legs rather than the standard four, some may have longer and therefore more durable legs than usual, and some will have their legs covered in amber resin, requiring intense heat or moisture to render the legs vulnerable. Regardless of its form, after defeat, the Flaky Long Legs will explode into confetti and drop a random piece of refuse.
