The '''Raging Long Legs''' ({{j|ゾウノアシ|Zou no Ashi|Elephant Feet}}) is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. It is related to the [[Beady Long Legs]], but has bigger, hairier feet, a bigger body (to the point where any Pikmin can reach it with relative ease) that is glossy black with purple veins, and moves more slowly. It is also much stronger, and so takes longer to kill. Unlike the Beady Long Legs, when it shakes Pikmin off it briefly stomps with increased speed. The fact that it has a larger body means any kind of Pikmin can be [[throw]]n onto it without waiting for it to stop walking at its body to lower, which makes attacking easier.

 

This rare boss is only seen on the last sublevel (15) of the [[Hole of Heroes]], the single sublevel of the [[Cavernous Abyss]] in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]], and in the [[Angle Maze]] stage of [[2-Player Battle]] if the selected layout is the one with a large central area.

 

 

===Pikmin===

Despite wielding feet much larger than the [[Beady Long Legs]], this does not make it too much more of a threat. It is possible to stay underneath the creature's abdomen with a small squad of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] without having to fear being [[Crushing|crushed]]. This is because this enemy can't move its feet directly underneath its body, even when enraged, and so there is always a safe area right underneath the large orb. For this strategy, a group of around 15 Pikmin is recommended due to the high risk of its feet with a larger squad and the creature's health regeneration being so quick potentially dragging out the fight or outright outpacing the Pikmin's damage for smaller squads.

Since the Raging Long Legs will never shake off Pikmin until it has done a multiple of four stomps or has raised its body back up after lowering it, a large amount of Pikmin can be thrown onto its body before it shakes, especially so if the creature enters a slower than usual stomping cycle. As such, if one wants to inflict large damage quickly, running behind the Raging Long Legs while it's lowering and raising its body, and then attacking it right from when it starts stomping to right when it's about to shake the Pikmin off can easily knock down at least a quarter of its health, though extra care should be taken to keep Pikmin away from being crushed by its feet whenever possible.

 

The Raging Long Legs cannot by harmed by [[leader]]s' punches.

 

 

{{transcript|Even though it's the largest spidery beast around and its stomping feet are huge, you'll be able to beat the Raging Long Legs with relative ease. Its body is large, low and easy to hit. Center yourself beneath it, attack with purples and be ready to pick up the pieces quickly after it shakes them off.|block=y}}

|common    = Raging Long Legs. It is distinguished from the [[Beady Long Legs]] with the word "raging", which may have been given because it goes into a fit of rage when it takes heavy damage.

|scientific = ''Pseudoarachnia furiendis''. ''Pseudoarachnia'' is the genus of all known [[arachnorb family|arachnorbs]], and ''furiendis'' is similar to the Latin ''furor'', meaning "rage", once again tying in to the creature's short temper. ''Furiendis'' could also be related to "fur", in reference to the creature's hair.

*The Raging Long Legs has the most [[HP|health]] out of all creatures in ''Pikmin 2'', even more than the [[Titan Dweevil|final boss]] if the HP of its [[Titan Dweevil Series|weapons]] aren't tallied up alongside the its main health pool.

*The Raging Long Legs will instantly kill most enemies it stomps upon. This can typically only be seen in [[Cavernous Abyss]], if one lures a [[Munge Dweevil]] into its arena, or if it appears in an [[Angle Maze]] layout.

*Instances of the Raging Long Legs that release [[Mitite]]s upon death seem to coincide with its Piklopedia entry, in which it is stated that "Upon reaching maturity, they excrete a special pheromone that attracts females of particular species, enticing these females to swallow the mitites whole." This also applies to a [[Baldy Long Legs]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], another member of the Arachnorb family.

*It is unclear how Louie developed the recipe for the Raging Long Legs, as it completely dissolves on its death.

*The Raging Long Legs, like the Beady Long Legs, does not technically have a falling animation; it immediately appears after the shadow "lands."{{cite web|https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301856447279398913/510045731831283712/2018-11-08_04-58-32.mp4|Video|Discord}}

*In the {{p3d}} Side Story [[Olimar's Comeback]], there is a golden form of the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] that has noticeably bigger feet, similarly to the Raging Long Legs.
