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 [[Mission Mode]], it can be found in the Collect Treasure stage for [[Forgotten Cove]] behind the electric gate.

 

In Battle!Enemies it appears in three stages. It roams the [[Tropical Forest]] stage without a need to be spawned in. In the Tropical Wilds Remix two appears in the two arenas you fight the Shaggy Longs Legs in the main game, and finally it appears in Clockwork Chasm in the north-east corner with a elevated block surrounded by a dirt square. It is easy to miss as it requires the player to throw a Pikmin on the elevated to spawn the Baldy Long Legs.

In {{p3d}}, it also appears in the [[Side Stories]] stages [[Tundra]] and [[The Ship Restored]]. In 'Tundra' it appears where the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es spawn, which contains two [[Golden Grenade]]s. It drops the [[Disguised Delicacy]]. In 'The Ship Restored' it appears as its golden variant and drops the [[Analog Computer]].

In {{p4}}, The Baldy Long Legs appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]] guarding The Autumnal Gully base who drops the [[Searing Acidshock]]. One is [[Cave|underground]] in the 15th sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]] and drops ten [[Trap Lid]]s. It can also be found in the [[night expedition]]s for Abandoned Throne in the [[Giant's Hearth]], and Autumnal Gully in the Primordial Thicket.

 

In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], one is found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] on the rocks south-west of the Misshapen Pond base and requires [[Moss]] to reach it. It drops the [[Radiation Canopy]] and a group of [[Mitite]]s when killed.

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.

*When a Baldy Long Legs turns aggressive during night expeditions in ''Pikmin 4'', the bulging sections just above and below the dividing line of the main orb will glow, similar to the eyes of other creatures when riled up. As it does not have visible eyes, it is unknown what exact function this part of the body could serve.

* While below half health, Baldy Long Legs' legs will shake in pain while moving.
