 Olimar's Notes Stone Long Legs Stourarachnia armoralis Arachnorb Family

The stone long legs is the larval form of a beady long legs. Unique to the stone long legs is that that its skin generates a chemical-like essence which reacts with the air, causing its skin to become incredibly hard and rock-like, hence it's name. Studies have yielded new information in where its seemingly impenetrable skin can be penetrated with the usage of explosions. The carbon dioxide slows down the reaction, causing the stone long legs' "true" form to be seen. 

Behavior

The Stone Long Legs acts as the first boss type enemy and is the boss of the Cavern of Redemption. It holds the Impenetrable Distorter, which up-grades the Captain's suits so they have resistance to explosions. It later appears in the Magnetized Ruins where it acts as a sub-boss. When defeated it releases a single 20 pellet. 

Strategy to Defeat
