In Pikmin: Dusk and Dawn
In the final sublevel of the Dweevil Nest, and on sublevel 15 of the Crown of Bugs, lies the Deceptive Long Legs. It is located in a round arena with beige grass. A Treasure resting in the center of it, with the Boss' horns poking out of the ground. Once a Pikmin tries digging up the treasure, it will spring up, throwing Pikmin and Leaders off of it. After getting up, it will begin to stomp around, occasionally lowering its head to the ground, leaving a window for you to throw your Pikmin onto its head.

The Deceptive Long Legs is a much larger boss variant of the Deceptive Dweevil, sporting 4 legs, covered in dirt and rock. 2 of which are used for crushing, and the other two for stabbing. Its head is covered in vines and dirt, holding up a large chunk of grass and soil with its giant horns. It has a smooth, pebble-shaped head with 4 glowing eyes. It has a distinct lack of mandibles, but its giant rock-covered legs make up for the danger factor. Due to the rocks on its legs, it is impossible to have your Pikmin climb up to its head, so the proper strategy would be to wait until it lowers its head towards the ground, and throw your Pikmin at it. Yellows, as usual, make this fight significantly easier, as they are able to latch onto its head at all times. After a while of being attacked, it will tense itself, before jumping into the air, and falling to the floor, crushing any Pikmin or Leaders under it. In Hard Mode, when it falls, boulders will begin falling, crushing any poor Pikmin under them.

In the Dweevil Nest, the treasure on its head is the Challengers Device, a treasure that unlocks challenge mode.

In the Crown of Bugs, the treasure on its head is the Scented Lumber, a green, tree-shaped air freshener meant for your car.
