Beady Long Legs

The Beady Long Legs is a creature whose only attack is stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged. Its multiple feet crush anything they land on. Its weak spot is its orbicular torso; given its height, Yellow Pikmin are normally needed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. Some Beady Long Legs have a more brownish tone to their bodies, while others are more yellow. Feet shape between Beady Long Legs also differs slightly. When near death, a Beady Long Legs will acquire a reddish tint and start smoking at the joints; its body will start to flake away as well.

Olimar's notes

 * "Although this creature is commonly associated with spiders, it is actually the result of a separate evolutionary line of insectoid creatures. Since the spherical body section supported by the creature's legs carries most of its internal organs, there appear to be no other features that would correspond to a head or abdomen."

Louie's notes

 * "Poisonous. Consumption results in prolonged writhing and uncontrollable mirth."

In Pikmin Kart
The Beady Long Legs is an item in Pikmin Kart. It appears in item boxes rarely, but more often if the user is in a lower place. When used, a Beady Long Legs drops down a little bit before the kart in first place and starts stomping around. If a kart is hit by its feet, it'll be temporarily stunned and flat for a while, driving slower. The Beady Long Legs will remain there for the rest of the race, but if another Beady Long Legs item is used, the monster will jump to the new location. The boss will avoid stepping on the one who called it.

In Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War
In Pikmin: The Bulblaxian War, the Beady Long Legs appears as a boss every now and then. It has much health, and sometimes the arena it is fought in will benefit the Pikmin more than it. For example, when it is fought in The Temple of Ice, it will sometimes slip on the ice. When defeated here, it will drop the Corruption Circle. Another one attacks Base Camp at one point in the story, opening up access to The Forest of Symbiosis; the one there drops the Ominous Crate.

Olimar's notes

 * "Beady long legs, one of the most recognizable members of the arachnorb family, has feet that keep it stable under most conditions but will cause it to slip when on ice. In order to defeat it, one must batter away at the armor until the insta-decay organ triggers, causing the creature to quite literally fall to pieces."

Ship's notes

 * "I wish I was a beady long legs. Red bulborb? Squish it. Annoying captain? Squish it. Flame-breathing creature? Squish it. Alas, I'm not beady long legs. Sigh."

In Pikmin Forever
In Pikmin Forever, the Beady long legs is able to create small depressions in the ground where it stomps, raising the chances of a Pikmin tripping slightly. If enough Pikmin are thrown onto its main body, it will move much slower. If enough Pikmin are thrown onto its feet, it will pick up its feet slower but will bring the foot down faster and more forcefully, making the depression created by the foot larger. Pikmin will also be thrown off every time a foot stomps. Pikmin are also a bit smarter, jumping out of the way of the foot if they are idle or are currently chasing the foot, but Pikmin in a leader's squad will not try to avoid the foot. Each of the segments of its feet can be attacked, much like the Shaggy Long Legs, lowering the boss's health each time one is defeated. A defeated segment smokes a bit more, as well as the foot shaking once both segments of each foot are defeated. The most the boss's health that can be taken off by the segments is half of its starting health. Once it is defeated, instead of opening in half like in other games, its feet and legs disintegrate and the body falls onto the ground. If it contains something inside, Pikmin thrown onto it will latch on and start attacking it. It has the same amount of health as a Red Bulborb, and once the body is defeated, it will explode harmlessly and scatter Pikmin around, revealing what was contained inside. If it does not have anything inside, Pikmin will try to pick it up, with a required twenty Pikmin and a max of forty Pikmin. It can then be taken to either an Onion to receive twenty Pikmin or to the ship to be salvaged for twenty metal units.

In Pikmin: Spider Attack
The Beady Long Legs is the third major boss in Pikmin: Spider Attack. It first appears in the Birch Forest after the Cave Den has been cleared, where it will drop onto the landing site when it is entered. This Beady Long Legs will drop the Ship Stabilizer upon defeat, a ship part necessary to complete the game as it opens access to Winter Snowflake. The Beady Long Legs also appears in the Water Mound in Flooded Waters. Much like in the canonical Pikmin games, the Beady Long Legs stomps around, crushing Pikmin underneath its feet. The Beady Long Legs in the Water Mound will drop the Emergency Button, an unnecessary ship part.
