Members
Aquatic Long Legs
- Main article: Aquatic Long Legs
The Aquatic Long Legs is an blue arachnorb that inhabits water. It may jop up and down to fling Pikmin off of it. It can appear submerged in water, or it can fall from above.
Armored Long Legs
- Main article: Armored Long Legs
The Armored Long Legs is a species of arachnorb with gray, metallic skin. The metal covering its skin makes it invulnerable to all attacks. So, Pikmin must tear it off to reveal its true exterior to do damage. The arachnorb will go into a frenzy, trying to regain its armor back.
Baby-at-Legs
- Main article: Baby-at-Legs
The Baby-at-Legs is a juvenile arachnorb summoned from the eggs of Mom-at-Legs. It is a slow shooter, and can be easily killed.
Baldy Long Legs
- Main article: Baldy Long Legs
The Baldy Long Legs is the only arachnorb that never stops to rest, save to shake off Pikmin. Although simpler to defeat than the Shaggy Long Legs, its lack of resting and constant roaming make it a little harder.
Beady Long Legs
- Main article: Beady Long Legs
The Beady Long Legs is the most basic of arachnorbs. The only attack it has is stomping around, but its large feet make this more dangerous than it sounds. Its body is its primary weak point; therefore, defeating it is easiest with Yellow Pikmin because they can be thrown higher, although other Pikmin types can also be used. The alternative strategy is to throw Purple Pikmin at its feet.
Beady Short Legs
- Main article: Beady Short Legs
The Beady Short Legs is the larval stage of the Beady Long Legs. It is about the size of a standard Red Bulborb, and orange in color, along with more contrast in its colors. It still crushes Pikmin, but at a shorter range.
Climbing Long Legs
- Main article: Climbing Long Legs
The Climbing Long Legs is a blue arachnorb that is capable of climbing on walls and ceilings. While it lost the ability to crush Pikmin, it is capable of squeezing them with its three-clawed feet instead. It likes to surprise its prey with an aerial attack.
Colossal Long Legs
- Main article: Colossal Long Legs
The Colossal Long Legs is a massive, land size creature that is made of stone and moss. It is used as a landing site, and can be defeated after destroying it from within a cavern.
Crackled Long Legs
- Main article: Crackled Long Legs
The Crackled Long Legs is a large arachnorb covered in tree bark as a defense against enemy attacks. It behaves like any other arachnorb outside of this detail, and it can only be damaged after its armor is broken off, revealing its weaker abdomen.
Cranky Long Legs
- Main article: Cranky Long Legs
The Cranky Long Legs is a close relative of the Raging Long Legs. It can crush Pikmin with its wide, flat feet and can scald them with the steam it emits from its body.
Creeping Long Legs
- Main article: Creeping Long Legs
Creeping Long Legs is a average-sized spider-like creature found underground. It is able to create webs, as evident throughout the areas where they are found, though it doesn't actively use the webs to attack. Its main method of attack, like many other arachnorbs, is to crush Pikmin under its feet, though it can also crawl on walls and ceilings, sometimes dropping down onto its prey.
Crimson Long Legs
- Main article: Crimson Long Legs
The Crimson Long Legs is a reddish version of the Raging Long Legs. It is much tougher and faster from its original counterpart.
Daddy Long Legs
- Main article: Daddy Long Legs
The Daddy Long Legs is an arachnorb known for its extraordinarily long legs. Its body and joints are black, its skin is rough and leathery, and its legs are gray and have hairy knees. Pikmin can climb the creature's legs to reach its main body to attack it, which is much too far up to reach, even with Yellow Pikmin. However, the white hairs on its knees prevent Pikmin from climbing, and hidden in these hairs are white spores that poison all but White Pikmin. Therefore, the only Pikmin type that can reach the Daddy Long Legs' main body are White Pikmin, and so they are recommended to fight this creature with.
Demi-Legs
- Main article: Demi-Legs
The Demi-Legs is an arachnorb relative to the Man-at-Legs that strongly resembles an Onion. After being awoken, this iron-plated arachnorb will immediately start chasing down nearby targets and will occasionally try to stab them with an extendible spear that emerges from underneath its body. This spear has a long range and can skewer up to ten Pikmin in a single strike, but it has a charge-up time that allows one to safely move out of the way before it attacks. The Demi-Legs is also capable of flight via the Onion-like propeller on top of its head, and it will do so when aggravated so it can fly out of the range of Pikmin attacks.
Diamond Long Legs
- Main article: Diamond Long Legs
The Diamond Long Legs is a blue arachnorb with a crystalline-coating around his abdomen shaped into a blue diamond. The Diamond Long Legs cannot be fought without using Rock Pikmin. Rock Pikmin are also immune to being crushed and stabbed, only making them more useful in fighting the creature. Whenever its armor is broken, shards of it will come crashing down to the ground, impaling any Pikmin unfortunate enough to be under them as they land. The coating will eventually reform and must be broken again.
Dwarf Long Legs
- Main article: Dwarf Long Legs
The Dwarf Long Legs is a stronger arachnorb. When it shakes off Pikmin, it will start rushing around and smash its main body into the ground, attempting to crush Pikmin and leaders. It will only roar when in a frenzy, which will make Pikmin panic.
Earth-at-Legs
- Main article: Earth-at-Legs
The Earth-at-Legs is a large, boulder arachnorb that summons boulders above leaders, and shoots boulders out of its weapon. It is immune to these falling boulders.
Elephant Long Legs
- Main article: Elephant Long Legs
The Elephant Long Legs is a gray skinned arachnorb with a trunk and two legs that act as hands. The trunk can be used to suck up Pikmin, but it can be tricked into sucking up goop to cause it to be immobilized for a short period of time.
Flaky Long Legs
- Main article: Flaky Long Legs
The Flaky Long Legs is a white colored arachnorb colored in a variety of different flakes. Despite its menacing nature, it is very frail, and attacking the creature can cause its legs to break. When breaking three of its legs, it will fall over to reveal its center to attack. It may attempt to repair said legs. These creatures vary from areas; having more armor, legs, or resin coating.
Funky Long Legs
- Main article: Funky Long Legs
The Funky Long Legs is a large, glowing arachnorb with an afro. This creature smashes its legs to the beat and is impervious to all attacks. If Red Pikmin climb its legs and play around in its afro, it will shake them all out. If this happens too many times, the creature will literally die of embarrassment on the dance floor.
Flaming Long Legs
- Main article: Flaming Long Legs

The sphere that makes up its body can be lowered on a chain from where the legs intersect, and can also be opened into two halves. Unlike other arachnorbs, the Greedy Long Legs moves only in cardinal directions, and never moves diagonally. The Greedy Long Legs' signature attack is to lower its spherical body on its chain and use it as a wrecking ball, which will move along with the beast and smash Pikmin in its path.
Heavy Tank-at-Legs
- Main article: Heavy Tank-at-Legs
The Heavy Tank-at-Legs is an arachnorb that resembles a moving tank. If threatened, it will shoot out slow moving shells that create extremely large explosions on impact; being invulnerable to attack as it shoots out bullets.

- Main article: Heavy Weapons Legs
The Heavy Weapons Legs is a species of arachnorb that highly resembles a Man-at-Legs, but is red in color with a large red eye and carries both a machine gun and shotgun. It uses the machine gun to fire at distant targets with a steady barrage of bullets, and it uses the shotgun in close combat, often with devastating results.
Hex-at-Legs
- Main article: Hex-at-Legs
The Hex-at-Legs is a six-legged arachnorb capable of walking along walls and ceilings with ease. It also has a larger, flattened area attached to its abdomen, giving it a top-like appearance. It is incapable of stomping onto Pikmin thanks to its much smaller feet. It carries its abdomen higher off of the ground, making it unreachable. After a while, it will climb up the walls and move around on the ceiling, completely out of sight except for its shadow. When a leader or their Pikmin are underneath its shadow for long enough, it will drop down and slam onto the ground, causing a tremor to occur which can briefly paralyze the leader if they're still on the ground.

Lunar Long Legs
- Main article: Lunar Long Legs
The Lunar Long Legs is an enormous arachnorb with a small satellite for a head and four moss-covered boulder feet. The actual head is bright purple; it is surrounded by dirt, grass patches, and rocks and volcanoes. After taking sufficient damage to the legs, the creature will shake off Pikmin and gravitate the group toward its lunar surface. It can erupt local volcanoes and engulf a great deal of the surface in lava, shoot geysers or rain its clouds to drench the area in water, have its storm clouds strike lightning onto the surface, outgas poisonous gases or pollutants, or reach up one of its legs to stomp on a leader.
Mamuta-at-Legs
- Main article: Mamuta-at-Legs

Man-at-Legs
- Main article: Man-at-Legs

Unlike most other Pikmin types, a group of Pik-at-Legs can survive being left behind after sunset and can be recovered the followed day.
Planetoid Long Legs
- Main article: Planetoid Long Legs
The Planetoid Long Legs is an enormous yellow arachnorb. Due to its sheer size, the Planetoid Long Legs' entire body cannot be seen at once.

Every step it takes results in a cloud of poisonous spores bursting outward around the foot that hits the ground. Another of its attacks is opening its spherical central body, out of which spews poisonous spores.
Quicker Long Legs
- Main article: Quicker Long Legs
The Quicker Long Legs moves at five times the speed of a Beady Long Legs. When its health reaches one-quarter, the Quicker Long Legs will execute a devastating attack where it will spin like a top on the spike underneath its main body, extending its legs to hit and kill nearby Pikmin. It will only use this attack once, and plenty of time is provided to get away. After it rises to its feet, the Quicker Long Legs will reduce its movement speed for the rest of the fight against it.
Raging Long Legs
- Main article: Raging Long Legs
The Raging Long Legs bears a resemblance to the Beady Long Legs in overall body structure but has bigger, hairier feet, a larger body, is shiny and black with purple bands, and moves more slowly. Like the Beady Long Legs, if it is harmed enough that it becomes agitated, it shakes any attacking Pikmin off and starts stomping madly. This is extremely dangerous since its feet are very large, and Pikmin take a little time to get up after they are shaken off. Its body is so large, however, that any kind of Pikmin can be thrown without waiting, and dodging it should be a rather trivial thing, so it isn't hard to defeat as long as Pikmin are called back before it rages.
Reservoir-at-Legs

- Main article: Savvy Gourmet Legs
The Savvy Gourmet Legs is a large, greedy arachnorb that inhabits kitchens. The creature has a steel armored center and smashes its feet around to attack Pikmin.

Shaggy Long Legs
- Main article: Shaggy Long Legs
The Shaggy Long Legs is an arachnorb that has a general body structure similar to that of the Beady Long Legs, only black, like the Raging Long Legs. It is unique in that it has hair covering its joints, feet, and body. The hair and overall body color vary depending on the area in which it is found. In order to defeat this beast, Pikmin must climb up its legs, and when they reach a hairy joint, they will stop to attack it. Once the hairs are cleared, the Pikmin can move on to the leg's other joint and remove the hairs there. When a joint is cleared, however, the creature will shake its leg, throwing the Pikmin down. After the main torso's hair falls off, it finally becomes vulnerable to heavy damage.
