Editing Baldy Long Legs

|imagetitle  = "Tropical" look

|areas      = [[Blossoming Arcadia]] ([[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]]), [[Giant's Hearth]] ([[night expedition|night]]), [[Primordial Thicket]]

The '''Baldy Long Legs''' ({{j|ハゲダマグモ|Hage Dama Gumo|Bald Orb Spider}}) is a hairless variant of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]]. Like other [[Arachnorb family|arachnorbs]], it is quite large, its only method of attack is [[crushing]] [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] with its large feet, and its circular core is its weak-point. Unlike the Shaggy Long Legs, its joints are black like the rest of the legs instead of a light green.

It is the only [[enemy]] in {{p3}} that cannot be found naturally in [[Story Mode]], and is exclusive to [[Mission Mode]], [[Bingo Battle]], and [[Side Stories]]. However, it can still be added to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] by defeating a Shaggy Long Legs. It returns in {{p4}}, sporting its tropical look, independently of the Shaggy Long Legs (which does not appear at all).

In the original release of {{p3}}, the relation between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] was not known, and since they were both identified with different names when [[lock-on|locked-on]], they were considered different creatures. However, in {{p3d}}, Olimar's comment in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] explains how it is simply the same creature, but without hair. Nevertheless, he notes how, because the hair never grows back, it is considered a different species. The same logs also clarify the difference between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Beady Long Legs]]. This difference is the absence of wax on the Baldy Long Legs's exoskeleton, which allows Pikmin to climb it, unlike the Beady Long Legs. Beyond this, it also has flat footpads, a horizontal separation on the abdomen, and toes. These differences are of course shared with the Shaggy Long Legs.

In ''Pikmin 4'', although healthier, the fight is nearly identical to its appearance ''Pikmin 3''. In the main campaign, a full squad of Winged Pikmin can make short work of it when it appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]], even without [[ultra-spicy spray]]s. During [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] however, the player will need to rely on Yellow Pikmin primarily to damage it, but can otherwise defeat it with little to no issue. The main exception is its appearance during the [[night expedition]], in the both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and [[Primordial Thicket]], where, while normal, is far more lethal to the mission as it can destroy [[Lumiknoll]]s and Tricknolls alike with relative ease. As [[Glow Pikmin]] cannot fly like Winged Pikmin, the player should tackle the creature as soon as possible, once enough Pikmin are in tow. A single Glowmob with enough Glow Pikmin is usually enough to kill it without it shaking Pikmin away, but they will usually be among the first among awakening creatures to enter its primal state during the night expeditions.

|scientific = ''Pseudoarachnia calvitium''. ''Calvitium'' is derived from ''calvus'', Latin for "bald". This is, once again, in reference to its lack of hair.

*The arctic variant of the Baldy Long Legs is never seen on its own, instead only being encountered when an arctic Shaggy Long Legs is stripped of its hair. The Baldy Long Legs in [[Tundra]] sports the species' "tropical" look despite its cold habitat.  

*The Baldy Long Legs will expel a green slime from its abdomen as it dies.
