It returns in {{p4}}, sporting its tropical look, independently of the Shaggy Long Legs (which does not appear at all). | ||

In the original release of {{p3}}, the relation between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] was not known, and since they were both identified with different names when [[lock-on|locked-on]], they were considered different creatures. However, in {{p3d}}, Olimar's comment in the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]] explains how it is simply the same creature, but without hair. Nevertheless, he notes how, because the hair never grows back, it is considered a different species. | In the original release of {{p3}}, the relation between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Shaggy Long Legs]] was not known, and since they were both identified with different names when [[lock-on|locked-on]], they were considered different creatures.

Nevertheless, he notes how, because the hair never grows back, it is considered a different species. The same logs also clarify the difference between the Baldy Long Legs and the [[Beady Long Legs]]. This difference is the absence of wax on the Baldy Long Legs's exoskeleton, which allows Pikmin to climb it, unlike the Beady Long Legs. Beyond this, it also has flat footpads, a horizontal separation on the abdomen, and toes. These differences are of course shared with the Shaggy Long Legs. | ||

== Locations == | |||
In {{p3}}, Baldy Long Legs are the only species to not appear in the game's [[Story Mode]]. | |||
In [[Mission Mode]], it can be found in the Collect Treasure stage for [[Forgotten Cove]] behind the electric gate. | |||
In Battle!Enemies it appears in three stages. It roams the [[Tropical Forest]] stage without a need to be spawned in. In the Tropical Wilds Remix two appears in the two arenas you fight the Shaggy Longs Legs in the main game, and finally it appears in Clockwork Chasm in the north-east corner with a elevated block surrounded by a dirt square. It is easy to miss as it requires the player to throw a Pikmin on the elevated to spawn the Baldy Long Legs. | |||
In [[Bingo Battle]], a Baldy Long Legs has a chance of spawning in a layout for [[Sandbox Kingdom]] or [[Jigsaw Fortress]]. | |||
In {{p3d}}, it also appears in the [[Side Stories]] stages [[Tundra]] and [[The Ship Restored]]. In 'Tundra' it appears where the [[Pyroclasmic Slooch]]es spawn, which contains two [[Golden Grenade]]s. It drops the [[Disguised Delicacy]]. In 'The Ship Restored' it appears as its golden variant and drops the [[Analog Computer]]. | |||
In {{p4}}, The Baldy Long Legs appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]] guarding The Autumnal Gully base who drops the [[Searing Acidshock]]. One is [[Cave|underground]] in the 15th sublevel of the [[Cavern for a King]] and drops ten [[Trap Lid]]s. It can also be found in the [[night expedition]]s for Abandoned Throne in the [[Giant's Hearth]], and Autumnal Gully in the Primordial Thicket. | |||
It may also appear in the [[Dandori Battle]] stage [[Final Battle]] on the elevated center of the stage. | |||
In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], one is found in the [[Blossoming Arcadia]] on the rocks south-west of the Misshapen Pond base and requires [[Moss]] to reach it. It drops the [[Radiation Canopy]] and a group of [[Mitite]]s when killed. | |||

If encountered in a [[Bingo Battle]] stage, it is recommended that the players do ''not'' fight it together, as the player's Pikmin will be more prone to attacking the other player's Pikmin, rather than the Baldy Long Legs, which will probably result in many casualties and possibly even a [[Pikmin extinction]]. | If encountered in a [[Bingo Battle]] stage, it is recommended that the players do ''not'' fight it together, as the player's Pikmin will be more prone to attacking the other player's Pikmin, rather than the Baldy Long Legs, which will probably result in many casualties and possibly even a [[Pikmin extinction]]. | ||
In ''Pikmin 4'', although healthier, the fight is nearly identical to its appearance ''Pikmin 3''. In the main campaign, a full squad of Winged Pikmin can make short work of it when it appears in the [[Primordial Thicket]], even without [[ultra-spicy spray]]s. During [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] however, the player will need to rely on Yellow Pikmin primarily to damage it, but can otherwise defeat it with little to no issue. The main exception is its appearance during the [[night expedition]], in the both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and [[Primordial Thicket]], where, while normal, is far more lethal to the mission as it can destroy [[Lumiknoll]]s and Tricknolls alike with relative ease. As [[Glow Pikmin]] cannot fly like Winged Pikmin, the player should tackle the creature as soon as possible, once enough Pikmin are in tow. A single Glowmob with enough Glow Pikmin is usually enough to kill it without it shaking Pikmin away, but they will usually be among the first among awakening creatures to enter its primal state during the night expeditions. | |||
