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.

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.

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}}

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.

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.
