The '''Beady Long Legs''' ({{j|ダマグモ|Dama Gumo|Orb Spider}}) is a [[boss]] in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only attack it has is stomping around, and its big feet [[Crushing|crush]] any [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] they land on. Its weak spot is its orbicular torso; given its height, [[Yellow Pikmin]] are recommended. When defeated, it crumbles into dust and disintegrates after its belongings drop from its orbicular torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games it appears in.
|seeds = 40 (Pellets dropped in [[Pikmin 2]])}}
 
In {{p2}}, the Beady Long Legs is colored with golds and browns, while in the first game it is primarily yellow and red and lacks the shiny, bumpy texture that it has in the second game. Its legs also appear more rectangular in ''Pikmin''. Its appearances in the second game are slightly more common, with it having much less [[health]], slower movements, a different shake, and makes different sounds. When at low health in either game, the Beady Long Legs will start smoking at its joints, and the creature's body will begin to flake away.
 
The Beady Long Legs does not appear in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', but there are two new Arachnorb bosses similar to it, the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] and [[Baldy Long Legs]] (the latter of which has an entry in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] that mentions the species).


==Stats==
'''Beady Long Legs''' is an enemy in both [[Pikmin (series)|''Pikmin'' games]]. The only way it can harm [[Pikmin]] is by stomping around, which it does more quickly when damaged and its multiple feet crush any Pikmin they land on. To defeat it, one must throw Pikmin at its orb-like torso. [[Yellow Pikmin]] are recommended for this because the torso is high up. Swarming the feet will slow down the movement of the foot but is highly dangerous because the Pikmin may be crushed. When defeated, it crumbles into dust that disintegrates after its belongings explode from its torso. The creature is in both the main game and [[Challenge Mode]] of both games in the series. In the ''[[Pikmin (game)|first Pikmin game]]'' it stomps faster than in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and its feet stick into the ground. In ''Pikmin 2'', it's slower and its feet don't stick into the ground.

==Behavior==
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', the Beady Long Legs has a more brownish tone to its body, while in the first one it is just yellow. Appearances in the second game are more common, and have much less health, slower movements and different cries. It first appears as a miniboss in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', where it is found in [[The Forest Navel]], protecting the [[Guard Satellite]] [[:category:ship parts|ship part]], and again in [[The Final Trial]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1)|Challenge Mode]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', one appears on the fifth [[sublevel]] of the [[Citadel of Spiders]], where it drops a [[The Key|key]] that unlocks [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], one on the fourteenth sublevel of the [[Hole of Heroes]], one in the [[Twilight Garden]] in Challenge Mode, and one that can be found every palindrome day in front of the landing site in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after day 30. (False, as Beady Long Legs seems to be "found" every 3 days. Last fought on day 179 and then on day 183, but in another game only appears on Palindrome days.) If you walk on a small, white circle on the ground, it will fall out of the sky. Also, on the same day, [[Dwarf Bulbear|dwarf bulbears]] and a [[bulbear]] come to the same area, so take care of the beady long legs quickly. Killing it here yields twenty small "1" [[pellet]]s.
The Beady Long Legs will remain out of sight until a captain or Pikmin enters its area. Once this happens, it will fall from the sky and land on the floor. When idle, it will stomp around, which can crush any Pikmin and damage captains. When it stops moving, it will lower its torso in an attempt to rest. If multiple Pikmin are thrown onto it during this stage, it will violently shake off any attached Pikmin. Once defeated, the Beady Long Legs will not leave a body and instead turn to dust, similar to other Arachnorbs.
==Killing Strategies==


==Locations==
===Pikmin 1===
====In ''Pikmin''====
{{subjective}}    
It appears only once in Pikmin's story mode, where it is found in [[The Forest Navel]], holding the [[Guard Satellite]]. It is to the east of the map, in a sandy arena blocked off by a [[reinforced wall|black reinforced wall]]. In the game's [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode]], it appears in the [[The Final Trial]] where the [[Emperor Bulblax]] would be found in story mode.
In the first Pikmin game, the best way of going about beating the Beady Long Legs is to bring about 20 [[Yellow Pikmin]]. Small armies of Pikmin work best, as the Beady Long Legs is less likely to stomp on a smaller group. Also remember to bring a minimum of 20 [[Red Pikmin]] in order to carry the [[Guard Satellite]] through the [[Hazards#Fire|fire geysers]]. Dismiss these Red Pikmin outside the arena, and take your Yellow Pikmin inside. Be cautious when stepping into the arena, as the Beady Long Legs may fall onto you or your Pikmin. Once the Beady Long Legs appears, simply stay under its spherical abdomen, and continuously throw your Yellow Pikmin onto it. The more Pikmin attached to its abdomen makes it weigh down, making it easier to throw other types of Pikmin onto its body. Eventually it will start shaking some of your Pikmin off. When it shakes Pikmin to the ground, make sure to call them and throw them back on to the attacking point. In time, it will finally die and drop the Guard Satellite, which you can use Red Pikmin to carry back to your [[S.S. Dolphin]].


====In ''Pikmin 2''====
===Pikmin 2===
One can be found in front of the landing site in the [[Perplexing Pool]] after day 30; killing this one yields 20 small 1-[[pellet]]s. It appears every day if it is not killed and always spawns on the first day of each 10 day period starting from day 31.
The strategy for beating the Beady Long Legs remains the same in most aspects. However, the Beady Long Legs is a lot slower than its Pikmin 1 variation. It also doesn't weigh down with more Pikmin, and always shakes off all Pikmin when it shakes as opposed to only some. A squadron of 20 Yellow Pikmin is preferable, but in the [[Hole of Heroes]], there's a level where you have to use [[Blue Pikmin]] due to the wet environment. In this case you must wait for the Beady Long Legs to lean downwards after it is done with a walk cycle. When it leans downward, it can be reached by Pikmin other than Yellow Pikmin. But if he is on land you can still use your yellows as long as he is in a safe place. In the [http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Citadel_of_Spiders Citadel of spiders] can you also throw purples on his feet. It does a good deal of damage, but it is risky as they can be squashed; so the best time to do this is when he is roaring. This works also on the [[Raging Long Legs]] but is riskier because his feet are harder to avoid. It is also not worth it because it only does a little bit of damage.

''"This creature is so large, it would tower over the Dolphin. All the Pikmin can do is cling to its feet and try to slow it down. Its large round torso is its sole weak point - since yellow Pikmin fly highest, they should be most effective against it."''
{{guide}}
===Olimar's Notes===
"Although this creature is commonly associated with spiders, it is actually the result of a seperate evolutionary line of insectoid creatures. Since the spherical body section supported by the creature's legs carries most of its internal organs, there appear to be no other features that would correspond to a head or abdomen."


=== With Pikmin ===
==Glitch==
{{todo|Check what happens if its feet are damaged in all versions and regions of all games.}}
In ''Pikmin'', there is a rare and dangerous [[:Category:Glitches|glitch]] that causes Beady Long Legs to leave its arena. This glitch is most likely to happen when you leave the arena without killing it. Pikmin and/or Olimar have to be left at the gate to the small arena. The creature will then try to attack you, possibly leaving the arena. Once outside of the barriers, it will continue to pursue you. If you now run to the island where the [[Libra]] is, the enemy may fall into the abyss below, causing the game to crash (the game will also crash if you do not kill it after it leaves the arena after a certain amount of time).
Be careful when entering the boss's arena in ''Pikmin'', since it can crush Pikmin when it falls down from the ceiling. This can catch unprepared players with large armies by surprise, but was changed for ''Pikmin 2'': the Beady Long Legs will not be able to harm Pikmin until its introduction animation is over.


You should have no more than 30 Pikmin, as a large group can be hard to control and may cause a few deaths. Aim at its core and launch your Pikmin freely, being careful to neither miss nor let the grounded Pikmin get stomped on. [[Swarming]] will prove helpful here. When it shivers, it is about to shake Pikmin off. Call the Pikmin quickly, or else they might fall off for a few seconds and lose their bud or flower [[Maturity|status]]. In ''Pikmin 2'', all Pikmin will be shaken off, but in ''Pikmin'', a few may still remain latched. Attacking one of its feet in ''Pikmin'' will not cause any damage, but the creature will have difficulties landing it, allowing Pikmin attacking the head more time before it attempts to shake them off.
If one wishes to attempt this glitch, the best place to do it without receiving any consequences is The Final Trial in challenge mode. Go to the arena in the back of the level and try this glitch on the Beady Long Legs in the arena.


If you have a viable amount of Yellow Pikmin, attack at will, but if not, bring twenty to thirty of some other types, preferably Red Pikmin, and wait until it has done eight stomps (two with each leg); it will lean down afterwards to rest. It will do this twice, so you should ignore it the first time, and then as soon as it begins to lean again, quickly throw Pikmin at its body. This will allow you to attack for a longer period of time.
In ''Pikmin 2'', this is fixed. An enemy that has fallen into the abyss dies, and [[Treasure Hoard|anything it might have been holding]] reappears above the ground near the place it fell.
==Music==
This is the music that plays when Olimar battles Beady Long Legs in [[Pikmin]].[[File:Beady Long Legs Theme|thumb|300px|right|Beady's Theme in Pikmin]]


Alternatively, a combination of Yellow Pikmin and Red Pikmin can be used. The Yellow Pikmin, when thrown at the creature's head, will weigh it down and lower it, allowing the Red Pikmin to be used without having to wait for the Arachnorb to rest. This detailed approach is only possible in ''Pikmin'', as the enemy is not weighed down by Pikmin in ''Pikmin 2''.


The Beady Long Legs can also be harmed by Pikmin attacking its feet; this is far more challenging and time-consuming, however. In ''Pikmin 2'', only Purple Pikmin can damage the creature's feet with the stomp they cause, but in the Japanese [[Region|version]] of the game, any Pikmin type can also attack its feet with regular attacks. As such, an easy way to defeat the Beady Long Legs in the Japanese version of ''Pikmin 2'' is to place around 25 flowered [[Red Pikmin]] on the location where each foot is going to be, and when the creature lands from above, its health will be dropped so fast that it will not have time to stomp even once, ensuring a clean and quick victory.{{cite youtube|0f2tFBwZOfM|showing the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin 2'' being killed quickly by swarming its feet}} It may be difficult to determine exactly where the feet will end up at, though. This trick does not work in overseas versions of the game, nor the Wii releases,{{cite youtube|zKjeYzwsWKw|showing how Beady Long Legs's feet cannot be harmed in the Japanese version of ''New Play Control! Pikmin 2''|published={{date|17|February|2019}}|retrieved={{date|17|February|2019}}}} and it may only work with some of the Pikmin in the party.{{cite youtube|AImjtZv1Rqc|researching the different ways Pikmin can and cannot harm the feet|published={{date|16|March|2019}}|retrieved={{date|14|April|2020}}}}


In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', it is recommended to bring twenty [[Red Pikmin]] to the entrance of the arena, so they may bring the Guard Satellite through the fire [[geyser]]s.


=== With leaders ===
Even when [[Ultra-bitter spray|petrified]], its body is suspended too high for leaders to reach.


=== Speedrunning ===
In ''Pikmin'', the fastest way to defeat the creature is to have around 20 Red Pikmin and around 6 Yellow Pikmin with you. Before the boss lands, use {{button|gc|c|wii|padd}} to organize your party so that Red Pikmin are the closest to you. Walk into the arena, and begin throwing Red Pikmin so that they attach to the creature when it lands; when the Beady Long Legs falls down, its core reaches low enough for non-Yellow Pikmin to be thrown at it. Throw as many Pikmin as you can, using the [[Throw#Swarm trick|swarm trick]]. When it shakes the Pikmin off, a few of them will remain attached. Carefully whistle the ones that got knocked down and throw them at the core again. The creature should be dead just as it's shaking the second time.{{cite youtube|emgi4V8zjM8|showing a fast kill on the Beady Long Legs, in ''Pikmin''}}

== Presumed glitch ==
At one point, a [[glitch]] about this boss was documented on Pikipedia.{{cite web|https://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title{{=}}Beady_Long_Legs&diff{{=}}393&oldid{{=}}392|Old revision of the Beady Long Legs page|Pikipedia|published={{date|31|May|2008}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} It was said to be a rare and dangerous glitch that would cause the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin'' to leave its arena. Once outside its boundaries, it would continue to pursue the player, and if coaxed into falling into the [[pit]], the game would crash. It also claimed that the game could crash if left outside of its arena for too long, and that it could also happen with other bosses fought in arenas.


Despite the glitch's popularity, there was never any proof of it happening, though there were attempts.{{cite youtube|e9wRNfGV8Wg|showing some attempts at luring the Beady Long Legs out of its arena|published={{date|30|October|2009}}|retrieved={{date|29|July|2021}}}} In fact, without editing the game's files to force the boss's territory radius to be larger than normal, there is no known way for the Beady Long Legs to walk far from its starting point, as it will attempt to return to the center of the arena if it exits a certain radius. In addition to the Beady Long Legs being unable to escape its arena in normal play, the crashing element is a hoax: should the player move the Beady Long Legs to the pits at the edge of The Forest Navel and coax it inside, its model distorts to try to "step" in the pit, before merely despawning.{{cite youtube|QseKQ7yslvU|showing how the Beady Long Legs only moves out of the arena if its territory radius is extended in Windows executable}}{{cite youtube|iXJFQKinoBM|showing the same hex edit, but on the actual game}} Since the editor that documented the glitch did so anonymously, and a bit haphazardly, it is impossible to figure out any details about the origin of the glitch. In light of the failed attempts to replicate it, the "glitch" may have been a hoax.

*Bizarrely, in ''Pikmin'', if there are any [[sprout]]s in the area the moment the player triggers the creature's fall, it will take a few seconds to actually fall down, whereas if there are no sprouts, it will show up right away. This applies to all game modes and all versions of the game.

*In ''Pikmin 2'', the Beady Long Legs is fully programmed to drop 25 [[Unmarked Spectralids]] upon death if it has no treasure.

* In the {{p3d}} Side Story [[Olimar's Comeback]], the final stage has a [[Baldy Long Legs]] with a similar coloration to the Beady Long Legs. It is accompanied by a boss theme that combines the main {{p1}} theme with instruments from The Forest Navel's theme.
*The roaring of the Beady Long Legs in ''Pikmin 2'', and by extension the other two arachnorbs that reuse the sound, is a modified metal door sliding sound.
*The Beady Long Legs is the only enemy encountered in multiple games that does not appear in ''Pikmin 4''.
