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 | The '''Raging Long Legs''' ({{j|ゾウノアシ|Zou no Ashi|Elephant Feet}}) is a [[boss]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

It is also much stronger, and so takes longer to kill. Unlike the Beady Long Legs, when the beast shakes Pikmin off it starts stomping angrily with increased speed. The fact that it has a larger body means any kind of Pikmin can be [[throw]]n onto it without waiting, which makes attacking easier. | ||

It dies in the same manner as the Beady Long Legs, ejecting its possessions from its body, crumbling into dust. If this creature does not have any treasure to drop, it will instead drop 30 [[Mitite]]s. It can [[Health#Regeneration|regain health]] much faster than any other enemy, making it a very durable boss. | ||
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. | 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. | ||

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. | Despite wielding feet much larger than the [[Beady Long Legs]], this does not make it too much more of a threat.

Since the Pikmin should be called back just before the enemy can shake them off, the amount of Pikmin that can be used are limited anyway, so a group of about 15 is recommended. | ||
Due to how quickly it regenerates health, it is impossible to make progress in damaging the creature if the player uses only one or two Pikmin. | |||
