Man-at-Legs

The Man-at-legs is a member of the arachnorb family that has a mostly mechanical torso sheathed in metal with four spindly legs; three of them are black, organic, and spider-like, while the other one is mechanical, making attacking its feet impossible. Unlike other arachnorbs, it has no flat footpads to stomp Pikmin with, instead relying on its long-ranged attacks and speed, quickly skittering about to evade attacks. When agitated, it stops in place, the panels of its underbelly separate, and a machine gun-like weapon extends from between them, tracking any nearby targets by a laser sight before firing a barrage of explosive rounds at whatever it manages to lock on to. After firing a few dozen shots, with minimal breaks in-between, it sheathes its weapon before continuing to move about. While moving, it will occasionally stand still to rest. This boss is usually found in locations that have raised ground that can be used as cover against the blasts. In typical arachnorb manner, it leaves no remains upon dying.

In Pikmin 251
In Pikmin 251, the Man-at-Legs is first encountered in the Gambler's Den. Its behavior is unchanged from.

In Pikmin: The After Years
The Man-at-Legs, in Pikmin: The After Years, is the same as it is in. The one in Remembrance Ravine fires more projectiles than usual.

In Pikmin: Dimensional Breach
In Pikmin: Dimensional Breach, a single Man-at-Legs lurks at the very bottom of the Mad Doctor's Citadel, a dungeon in the Perplexing Tropics. It is identical to its appearance, with one additional stipulation: its bullets are classified as blunt force hazards. Thus, Rock Pikmin will not be damaged by the bullets, although they can still be knocked into the abyss by the force they exert. Upon death, the creature will spray out steam and explode, leaving behind the Forgotten Cutlass.
