The '''Shaggy Long Legs''' ({{j|ケダマグモ|Ke Dama Gumo|Hairball Spider}}) is a [[Boss|miniboss]] in {{p3}} and a member of the [[arachnorb family]]. This enemy has masses of long, shaggy hair covering several parts of its body. Its color scheme depends on the habitat that it dwells in. This species of Arachnorb does not stop to rest as do the rest of the members of its family. However, it does stop to shake off Pikmin, which are able to climb the Shaggy Long Legs' legs. It is not seen in [[Bingo Battle]] or [[Mission Mode]], instead replaced by the [[Baldy Long Legs]], a hairless version.
 
There are three variants of this creature found in the game: a black and purple variant found in the [[Tropical Wilds]], a black and white variant found in the [[Distant Tundra]], and a golden variant found in the [[Formidable Oak]].
 
While it does not reappear in {{p4}}, the aforementioned hairless version does, and the Shaggy Long Legs is mentioned within its notes.

{{refs|note}}
The shaggy long legs is a midboss encountered twice in pikmin 3's story mode. It is first fought (legitmately) at the [[Tropical Wilds]] in an arena blocked by an electric fence that's guarded by an [[Orange Bulborb]]. To defeat it, you must attack the joints on its legs (2 each leg, 1 high, 1 low, 8 total). Once all the joints are stripped, the hair shielding the main body is gone and you can attack it. Without the hair it's classified as a [[Baldy Long Legs]]. The easiest way to defeat it is with [[Winged Pikmin]] charging the main body. Like all [[Arachnorb |arachnorbs]] it explodes when defeated.

===''Pikmin 3'' Prima Guide===
{{transcript|The Shaggy Long Legs is a very large creature that crushes any Pikmin unfortunate enough to get caught under its large feet. To defeat this creature, your Pikmin must first pluck all of the Shaggy Long Legs' hair.
 
When you encounter a Shaggy Long Legs, throw several Pikmin onto each of the creature's limbs. As your Pikmin climb the creature, they'll rip out any hair they find. Once your Pikmin pluck the hair from each of the Shaggy Long Legs' joints, they'll move onto the longer hair covering the creature's body.
 
The Shaggy Long Legs frequently shakes its attackers loose, so it's important to gather your Pikmin as they fall to the ground. When all of the creature's hair is gone, use your Pikmin to attack its exposed body.
 
Red Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, and Blue Pikmin are well-suited to battle these enemies. When you prepare to face a Shaggy Long Legs, use the hazards near the battleground to determine which Pikmin types to bring.|block=y}}
 
==Strategy==
{{guide}}
The Shaggy Long Legs will receive minimal damage on the areas of its body covered in hair. To remove the hair, the player must direct [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to climb the towering beast's legs when they are on the ground. It is recommended that the player uses many Pikmin, as each step the creature takes will shake off some of the Pikmin on that leg. Once they reach the first joint, they will begin to pluck the hair. Once it is stripped of all its hair, it becomes a [[Baldy Long Legs]]. The creature will then violently roar and shake off its attackers. Quickly call the Pikmin back and have them climb up the leg again so they can attack the second joint and remove its hair. Once a leg has had both joints removed of their hair, the Pikmin will climb directly to the body and begin stripping off small strands of the longer hairs.
 
As the Shaggy Long Legs loses hair, it will take damage. In total, it has eight joints covered in hair, and it will lose about half of its health once all hair is removed. Once all of the joints have had their hair removed, direct your Pikmin to climb up the creature's bare legs and attack its main body. It will begin to lose hair and once all of its hair has fallen off, the creature will begin to visible shake in pain and will speed up its stomping. Using [[Winged Pikmin]] after all its hair is gone is also a viable strategy since they'll automatically charge at its main body without the need to climb the legs.
 
It is also important to note that the Shaggy Long Legs will periodically move between two different neighboring areas of the map. To prevent wasting time, it is recommended to have two different leaders waiting in both locations it shows up in, so you will be able to always attack it, regardless of where it retreats to. Another tactic is to do something else while waiting for it to return back to the area. The idle leader will eventually announce their panic when confronted with the returning enemy, which should alert you to resume the fight.
 
The best Pikmin suited for the battle are [[Rock Pikmin|Rock]] and [[Winged Pikmin]]. Rock Pikmin are immune to crushing, and can still climb up the Arachnorb's legs, making them good choices to take out the hair with. A medium-sized group is best so that all Pikmin do not get shaken off. Once all hair is removed, Winged Pikmin can simply fly up to the abdomen of the creature, allowing for a quick fight. [[Ultra-spicy spray]] makes ending the battle even quicker with this strategy. To note however is that Rock Pikmin that climb up the legs will only hit the exposed core once before falling off by themselves. If you can it's best to bombard it by throwing the Rock Pikmin directly onto the exposed core from underneath dealing massive damage, quicker and more effectively. However you will need to throw them fast as not all of them will go high enough to hit it.
 
== Golden variant ==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:P3D Golden Shaggy Long Legs.jpg|thumb|200px|The golden Shaggy Long Legs.]]
 
In [[The Ship Restored]], the final stage of [[Olimar's Comeback]], a golden Shaggy Long Legs can be found, alongside a golden Baldy Long Legs, within the large arena at the bottom of the [[Formidable Oak]]. Aside from its gold color, it behaves identically to the normal variety. Unlike them, however, is its larger feet (similar to the [[Raging Long Legs]] from {{p2}}) that cover a much wider range when stomping. It contains the [[Nova Blaster]], so defeating it is needed to complete the mission.
 
This version also has [[Music in Pikmin 3#Golden arachnorb battle|unique battle music]], which the other [[boss]]es in [[Side Stories]] do not have. This indicates a sort of final boss nature, as the two golden arachnorbs are the last enemies one can encounter within the mode.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
{{game help|p3|Check if other bosses also respawn the next day only to die immediately after.}}
*The [[Distant Tundra]] shaggy long legs is colored white, due to adapting to the freezing conditions
* The Wii U version of {{p3}} classified the [[Baldy Long Legs]] and a hairless Shaggy Long Legs as separate enemies. The Deluxe version, however, merges the enemies, as both [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] entries are obtained upon defeating a Shaggy Long Legs.
*A variation of this [[Glitches in Pikmin 3 #yellow onion skip|well known glitch]] allows you to fight this boss earlier than intended, with no time limit!
* The Shaggy Long Legs is one of the few exceptions in which [[Rock Pikmin]] can latch onto things.
*It's [[Baldy Long Legs|second form]] is based of the [[Tropical Wilds]] design
* The Shaggy Long Legs' animation changes depending on its body condition. While it has hair, it will stomp faster than without it. But if it has lost all hair on one of its legs, that leg will move slightly slower and shakes in pain.
*In [[Mission Mode]]'s [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] the [[Baldy Long Legs]] you fight has the exact same pattern as the shaggy long legs in story mode, differences in the remix version include having hay in the arena and the second arena is sealed.
* By utilizing a [[Sequence break#Early Shaggy Long Legs|sequence break]] in the cave where the player discovers the [[Yellow Pikmin]], it is possible to fight the [[Distant Tundra|Distant Tundra's]] Shaggy Long Legs with unlimited time.
* It's has the most appearances as a mid boss in [[Mission Mode]], being 4 times in [[Forgotten Cove]], [[Tropical Forest]], [[Tropical Wilds Remix]] and [[Clockwork Chasm]]
* If one kills the Tropical Wilds Shaggy Long Legs while two feet are on the arena border and the other two feet are on the actual arena, the legs attached to the feet in the arena will bend backwards.
* Both versions drop fruit that splits in half; the [[Tropical Wilds]] one drops a [[Disguised Delicacy]] and the [[Distant Tundra]] one drops a [[Stellar Extrusion]]
* The Shaggy Long Legs is the only miniboss in ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that doesn't appear in [[Mission Mode]].
* The Shaggy Long Legs is one of the only enemies in the ''Pikmin'' series to have multiple variants with the same name. The only other enemy is the [[Adult Centipare]].
* Pikmin that are shaken off after a joint has been de-haired will stay on the ground stunned for a few seconds and then get up by themselves. However, Pikmin that get shaken off from an ordinary shake will not get up after staying stunned. For both cases, a Pikmin will also ignore a leader that bumps into it, but will get up if [[whistle]]d.{{cite youtube|S7j9mQEWOfA|of a no-whistle challenge where Pikmin get knocked down after a joint is de-haired and after a regular shake attack|m=40|s=50|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|29|December|2019}}}}
* If the boss is defeated in story mode and the day ends shortly after its health reaches zero, but before it drops its fruit, the creature will reappear the next day, only to begin dying the moment it spawns.{{cite youtube|S7j9mQEWOfA|of a no-whistle challenge where a Shaggy Long Legs is killed right when the day ends|h=1|m=39|s=3|published={{date|20|December|2019}}|retrieved={{date|29|December|2019}}}}
*When [[charge]]d, Winged Pikmin will fly straight to the Shaggy Long Legs's head.
* If one removes all the hair from a Shaggy Long Legs, but doesn't kill it, a little bit of its hair will regrow the next day.
* The way its hair covers its entire body makes it resemble {{w|Sadako Yamamura}}.
