The Aquatic Long Legs is a common arachnorb in Pikoblitz, appearing several times in Story Mode and Challenge Mode. It behaves similarly to the Beady Long Legs, which does not appear in Pikoblitz or its sequel. The Aquatic Long Legs physically resembles a Beady Long Legs, but blue in color. When active, it stomps around much like any other arachnorb, crushing anything its feet come down on. It does not have any water-based attacks, being named the Aquatic Long Legs because it is found near water. Instead of simply shaking Pikmin off of its body, the Aquatic Long Legs hops up and down several times, resulting in Pikmin being thrown about itself. It can crush up to four Pikmin walking normally, and up to two if it lands on them whilst shaking other Pikmin off. Using ultra-spicy spray can help Blue Pikmin reach its spherical body. It has more health than a Beady Long Legs, but that shouldn't be a problem. In Challenger's Canyon, the Aquatic Long Legs is buried in the ground and unearths itself when approached; in Submerged Tower, the beast fall from the ceiling, above a body of water; lastly, in Conquest Cavern, it appears submerged in water.

Notes

Olimar's notes

“This giant arachnorb is a relative of the beady long legs, and it appears that the original insectoid evolved for reasons unknown to live in water, though it has little to no predators. Its spherical body still contains the internal organs and other organs that scientists cannot identify the purpose of.”

Louie's notes

“Inedible. Consumption may cause short-term fear of everything and an urge to dance. Tastes like chopped liver.”
