The Arachnode sits still when nothing is near, but when a [[leader]] or a [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is thrown into its web, it will take on its spider-like form and attack its ensnared prey. It eats Pikmin by clamping down on them with its wide mouth, and it eats them quickly, so it can be difficult to save them in time. When all Pikmin are removed from the web, the Arachnode will take a moment and then go back into its resting state. It does not return to a specific point on the web to rest, so it can be put in a more vulnerable position for a second attack. When an Arachnode is defeated, it will fall to the ground and its web will collapse.

In ''Pikmin 3'', if unsupervised Winged Pikmin carry an item right into an Arachnode's web, they will get stuck, whatever goods they had will fall to the ground, and the creature will proceed to eat them. Fortunately, Arachnodes pose no threat to any other types of Pikmin when left unattended.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Pikmin will go in a circle or choose any other way if the object does not fit. There are 2 sizes for the webs, floating and down to the ground. The floating webs will stop Winged Pikmin, [[Oatchi]], and any big object, while the webs that are down to the ground will stop everything, forcing them to take a different path.
Bizarrely, when a [[leader]] is thrown into an Arachnode's web, said leader will become slightly two-dimensional. If the enemy attacks, the leader may shrink even further or disappear altogether. This is merely aesthetic, however.

* The Arachnode is the only spider based enemy in the main series to have eight legs, as all [[Arachnorb family|Arachnorbs]] and [[Dweevil family|Dweevils]] have only four.

Interestingly enough, its web doesn't look like a typical Orb-weaver spider's, but some species are known to produce other types of web styles, such as the ''cobweb'' and ''mesh web''.
